 Wall Decal Basics

What are wall decals?

Wall decals, also known as wall stickers or wall graphics, are self-adhesive decorations that can be applied to walls, windows, and other surfaces to add visual interest. They come in various designs, sizes, and materials.

How do I apply wall decals?

1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth before application.
2. Remove any dust or debris.
3. Carefully peel off the backing paper and position the decal.
4. Use a squeegee or soft cloth to smooth out air bubbles, starting from the center outward.

📌 Watch our Installation Guide here for videos & tips.

Can wall decals be removed without damaging the wall?

✅ Yes! Most wall decals are designed to be removable without causing damage.

• To remove: Gently peel from one corner.
• For residue: Use warm, soapy water or a mild adhesive remover.

Are wall decals reusable?

❌ Most decals are for one-time use only.

✅ However, our wall wrap material is repositionable for simple shapes like squares and circles.

Can wall decals be used on all surfaces?

✔ Wall decals adhere best to smooth, clean surfaces such as:

• 🖼 Painted walls
• 🪟 Glass & mirrors
• ⚙️ Metal & plastic

🔹 Textured surfaces? Decals can work, but results may vary. Let us know if your surface is textured so we can advise!

How do I maintain wall decals?

Wall decals are low-maintenance! To clean:

• ✔ Gently wipe with a damp cloth or sponge
• ❌ Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools

Are decals matte or gloss?

✔ Matte is our standard finish for logos, images, and artwork.

✔ Gloss is available upon request.

📌 Our wrap material is a fabric-based matte that is non-reflective.

How does color matching work?

✔ We match uploaded files to the exact color profile.

✔ Printers use CMYK – if you provide Pantone, RGB, or HEX codes, we will convert them to CMYK for printing.

🎨 Our Decal Types

Die-Cut Wall & Window Decals (Our Specialty!)

✔ No background – only the important parts remain after installation.

✔ Example: If we die-cut our Wall Decal World logo, only the lettering & circle would be left on the wall.

📌 Best for: Logos, text, and precision-cut designs.

Text Decals

✔ Customizable with any font you choose.

✔ Uses die-cut technology (see above) for a clean, professional look.

Wall Wraps (Like Custom Wallpaper!)

✔ Covers entire walls or spaces rather than individual cut-out shapes.

✔ Removable & repositionable fabric-based material.

📌 Best for: Large-scale branding, murals, and complete wall transformations.

📏 Understanding Proportional Sizing

When resizing an image or decal, maintaining proportionality means adjusting both the width and height by the same factor. This prevents the image from appearing stretched or squished.

For example, doubling both dimensions of a 10-inch by 10-inch square results in a 20-inch by 20-inch square, preserving its original proportions.

Why Proportional Sizing Matters for Decals

Ensuring your wall decal is resized proportionally is essential to maintain its visual integrity. Altering only one dimension can lead to distortion, making the design look unnatural.

How to Resize Proportionally

• Manual Calculation: Multiply both the width and height by the same factor.
• Design Software: Use features like “lock aspect ratio” or “keep proportions” to automatically maintain proportionality when resizing.
