FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR PRODUCING YOUR DECALS?

All of our replacement caravan decals are machine cut from high-quality, UV-resistant vinyl. This ensures a precise and accurate result every time. Our multicoloured decals are also made using the same process, with each colour layer expertly cut from high-quality vinyl.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRINTED VINYL DECALS AND DIE-CUT VINYL DECALS?

Printed vinyl resembles what you would think of as a “peel and stick” sticker. Printed vinyl is what it sounds like; ink prints a design on clear or white vinyl, and as a result, it can produce a decal that has multiple colours and effects. However, printed vinyl will degrade in direct sunlight, therefore is not well suited to the harsh conditions of the Australian outdoors. A UV coating can improve the lifespan of printed vinyl.

Machine cut vinyl decals use pre-coloured rolls of calendered or cast vinyl film, with multiple colours achieved by layering. Depending upon the material quality, these decals maintain their colour for many years. Some effects are not achievable using cut vinyl, such as fading or colour graduations.

ARE YOUR DECALS AS GOOD AS THE FACTORY DECALS?

At a minimum, our decals are as good, if not better than OEM. We only use high quality outdoor UV resistant calendered or cast vinyl.

Some manufacturers and sign-shops may use cheap vinyl or printed products that might look good when you install them, but a few months down the road they will shrink and crack, or fade. The initial cost is much cheaper, but inferior quality vinyl cannot stand up to the harsh outdoor conditions of Australia.

As it is difficult to tell the difference between low- and high-quality vinyl, it is possible for sign shops to fool people. Unfortunately, when it comes to vinyl, you really do get what you pay for!!

DO YOUR DECALS LOOK LIKE THE FACTORY DECALS?

Yes. We pride ourselves on the accuracy of our replacement caravan decals we produce. They are based on caravans we have taken the designs from, or are reproductions from high-quality photos.

We also produce vinyl reproductions based on original badges, which is an excellent alternative for those unable to find replacements. We have also customised designs to replicate the effects of some printed decals (i.e. fading).

Some colour variation is possible as there are limits to the material suppliers colour range, but we try to match to the original colours as close as is possible.

DO YOU CARRY AN INVENTORY OF DECALS?

Vinyl decals have a shelf life, therefore we carry no stock. All of our replacement caravan decals are individually cut to order.

YOU DON'T LIST MY DECAL, BUT CAN YOU REPRODUCE IT?

Absolutely! Reproductions are our speciality, and we can reproduce most decals from photos. Contact us with clear photos and exact dimensions, and we will turn it into a high-quality die-cut vinyl decal.

We can also create custom designs, lettering and replacement decals for all types of vehicles, suitable for outdoor use.

WHAT IF I WANT A DIFFERENT COLOUR THAN WHAT IS BEING SHOWN?

Changing colours or a different colour combination on a multicoloured decal, is no issue, within the constraints of our colour range.

We can also match colours in photos, understanding that colours do not always translate well from photos to physical colours; usually because of the lighting, which can lighten or darken the proper colours. However, we will always try to best fit your colour request, with this in mind.

WHAT IF YOU HAVE MY DECAL ON FILE BUT THE SIZE IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I NEED?

Contact us, and we can customise the size to your needs. Unless the size difference is much larger, there will be no change in cost to the closest size on file.

WHAT KIND OF WARRANTY DO YOU OFFER?

We cannot offer any warranty, in relation to the application of the decal. While we can provide some advice, we cannot take responsibility for the physical application method used.
