Small Sticker Application Instructions

In this comprehensive guide, you'll learn the step-by-step process of applying a small-form custom decal (also known as a transfer sticker) onto a vehicle window or similar surface. This versatile technique can be applied to most vinyl cut-out decals, providing you with the skills needed to achieve professional results.

To begin, gather the following supplies:

  1. Your Custom Decal/Sticker
  2. Ruler
  3. Cleaning Solution
  4. Masking Tape
  5. Paper Towels
  6. Straight Edge (such as a credit card or similar tool)
  1. Start by thoroughly cleaning the surface where the decal will be applied using a cleaning solution and paper towels. Ensure the surface is free from any dirt, dust, or debris.
  2. Use masking tape to secure the decal in the desired position on the window. This will help prevent it from shifting during the application process.
  3. Use a ruler to measure and ensure proper spacing and placement of the decal. This step is crucial for achieving a balanced and visually appealing result.
  4. Carefully lift the bottom of the decal, peeling away the backing to expose the adhesive side.
  5. Roll or lower the decal onto the surface, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Use gentle pressure to ensure the decal adheres smoothly to the surface.
  6. Once the decal is in place, use a straight edge, such as a credit card, to gently push out any air bubbles trapped beneath the decal. Work from the center outwards to ensure a smooth and bubble-free application.
