What Is a Custom Window Decal?

Before we discuss how business window decals can help your business, let’s examine what a custom window decal is. A window decal is a sticker you can apply to a window or any smooth, flat surface. Usually, vinyl gets used for manufacturing decals.

A custom window decal follows the design of your choice. Business decals usually include but are not limited to a business name, logo, and slogan. Business decals also often incorporate other imagery for use in the retail and service sectors.

How We Make Our Business Window Decals

How are our custom vinyl window decals made? And what sets them apart from the rest?

The Materials

Each of our window decals is made from top-quality 3M adhesive vinyl. Any images and lettering you require are printed on vinyl with the best fade-resistant UV inks. An extensive range of colors is available. These materials ensure that our decals are durable, long-lasting, and suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

The Construction

You are in creative control of your signage with custom decals. We will design, print, and cut this material to form decals to meet your unique specifications. We can accommodate virtually any size window and can cut your decal’s contours to follow the curved lines of your logo.

The Application

Instead of a static cling application, they have a high-quality adhesive backing. This adhesive layer is pressure activated during installation. Full instructions are provided for installation. Our custom window decals last for years, but can also be laminated for extra longevity.

The Benefits

Every business requires signage and marketing of some sort. High-quality window decals are extremely practical and versatile. Use them for your entrances, exits, windows, office cubicles, and glass doors. They are easy to install, and just as easy to remove. And we provide installation assistance for large decals.

Storefront Window Decals

Appealing Grocery Store Decals

In the retail sector, there are many different types of signage. And there is a vast difference in the purpose of these different types. And grocery stores have even more unique needs. You want to introduce customers to new products, and entice them to buy with appealing images.

The interior signs in your store focus on influencing those people already in the store to buy your product. Whereas your storefront signage aims to bring customers in. This is where window decals can be used to great effect.

Utilize colorful graphics and visuals to market your brand and your products. In this highly competitive sector, brand recognition is extremely important. But few will be able to resist mouthwatering images of your tasty food and beverage offerings.

Street Art Inspired Decals

The clever use of color is an essential part of any window display. Storefront window decals should resonate with your industry, your product line, and your target market.

A store selling sneakers may appeal to the youth with graffiti-style lettering and neon colors. And of course, larger than like sneaker images. Retro Converse styles are always popular. But any image can be brought to life in a professional window decal with our professional UV inks.

You choose the color palette, images, and lettering and we make it happen. But different colors, and color combinations, can have different effects. So always try to keep it in harmony with your overall store theme.

Sophisticated Store Entrance

If you only have a standard-sized front window that you can decorate, make it work for you. In the same way as window decals for glass doors at your store’s entrance, front windows are highly effective marketing tools.

Regular customers are the backbone of your business, but it is just as vital to attracting new customers. It is how your business will grow and thrive. One of the most effective tools at your disposal is to have an attractive business entrance.

Establish authority in your industry right at the door with an impactful decal design. Your upmarket beauty salon would attract more clientele with decals that employ a sophisticated color palette and an elegant calligraphy-style font.

Commercial Window Decals

Product Imagery

To achieve success, a commercial business, no matter which industry it is, has to advertise products. It may be easier if you sell a limited range of niche products. But even if you sell a wide range of products, you can display them to their best advantage with well-designed commercial window decals.

Too many images or words can look overwhelming, so choose only the most relevant data to display. A bakery window display filled with cakes and loaves of bread would not need many images but would benefit from a more descriptive decal. Words like “freshly baked” or “new recipe” would be ideal choices.

Marketing from All Angles

There is usually a focus on the entrance to a business. But don’t neglect the other windows of your retail store. If you are located on a street corner, remember that passers-by could approach your business from either direction. An open space is not only a waste of space but also a wasted marketing opportunity.

An innovative way to attract customers from all angles is to create a theme for all your windows. Perhaps a riddle, with the question on one window, and the answer on the window around the corner. It could be related to the product you sell or the service you provide. This will pique the curiosity of passersby.

Frosted Glass Windows with Branding

If you like the look of frosted windows but don’t have the time to employ this window treatment, we’ve got you covered. Or rather, we’ve got your windows covered. Our frosted glass-look decals offer the privacy of sandblasted glass, with the practicality of a reusable decal.

But if you think frosted decals are limited or boring, think again. Try our frosted vinyl window decals with your company name and slogan in color or clear lettering or images against the frosted background. Any number of exciting combinations are possible.

This type of decal would be suitable for businesses that provide financial or accounting services, or anything in that sector. It will look professional, and the frosting not only provides privacy, but it also reinforces the air of confidentiality.

Promote Your Pop-Up Store

If you are leasing a temporary retail space to launch a new product line, not only are removable office-wall decals ideal but so are removable window decals.

Their fast and easy application allows you to promote awareness of your product as quickly as possible. And because your store is not a permanent retail space, their easy removal is essential. But be sure to introduce some color to draw the attention of potential customers.

Emphasize this with words like ”all-new product”, “latest technology” or “innovative design” in bold lettering. Focus less on intricate images, and adopt a minimalist approach instead. Geometric designs also work well in this category.

Full-size Window Decals for Businesses

Larger Than Standard-Sized Windows

Do you have very large windows? That’s no problem. Our decals are designed to fit your required measurements and can even follow the contours of your logo. And you won’t have to sacrifice any business hours to install them. Our team will take care of this for you.

We can assist you with the measurements of the construction to the installation. All that you have to do is decide where they will make the most impact. Large window decals can also be used as company wall decals. Any blank space has the potential to be a canvas for your business’ marketing.

Personalized Office Windows

Does your business head office have very large front windows? Our office glass decals are perfect for bringing these large expanses to life. Welcome visitors to your headquarters with custom decals that harmonize with your company image.

Display managers’ names and titles on the glass windows in the doors to their offices. Choose a simple font and neutral color for the lettering, for an understated and sophisticated look. If one of them leaves the company or moves to another office, simply remove the decal and have a new custom decal made.

Pull Everything Together in One Full-size Decal

If you have lots of information to convey to potential customers, let your window banner decals do the talking. Does your business have a slogan or catchphrase? Make it stand out in your front window. Or incorporate it, along with your business name and logo, into a full-size window decal.

For the best results, create harmony between these with a suitable window decal design. Elements that tie them together such as the style of lettering, a color theme, etc. Too many colors and different design styles in one place can be jarring. But this is highly dependent on your brand and your target market.

A One-Way View into Your Business

While there are advantages to both opaque and transparent decal designs, there is a third option that offers the best of both. For maximum versatility, opt for a perforated window decal. This is useful when you want full-size window displays with lots of color and imagery, but need to retain a measure of privacy.

Custom-designed perforated vinyl window decals allow potential customers a glimpse into your business ideals without seeing into the premises. But you will have a view of the outside, all the time. So you can address your needs for privacy and security without compromising your marketing needs.

Adverts for Your Business

If you are a well-established business with a good reputation, you may think you don’t need to have much store signage. But sometimes, having only custom full-door decals is not enough to get noticed. So put full-size window decals to work marketing your business.

Integrate the name of your company or store, business hours, and even contact information. And you don’t have to obscure the view to do this successfully. A transparent decal with your name, the year your business was established, and other details in black or a bold color will look understated and professional.

But keep details like contact numbers, office hours, etc positioned lower down and in smaller lettering. Include a retro line art drawing depicting the service you provide. For example, a large vintage printing press if you offer printing services.

Tips for Exterior Window Decals

Stand out from the Rest

Convenience store window decals need to be unique. It is a very competitive sector, and you want your store to stand out from the rest. Customers respond well when convenience stores offer items or services that others typically don’t, or at much lower prices than their competitors.

Convey this in a fuss-free design with an emphasis on the product. It’s more about the info than the artwork. But that does not mean that there is no room for creativity. An interesting design, attractive typeset, and appealing color palette will work together to draw in the crowds.

Rebrand Your Business with Ease

When a business is taken over by new owners or management, many changes can ensue. One of these is a rebranding of the business. Have you recently taken over the reins of an existing business?

The best way to get your new business image out there as quickly as possible is with new exterior window decals and matching commercial decals for your walls.

Allow existing customers to become familiar with your new signage quickly. Try to retain a semblance of familiarity. Include something in the font or the colors of your signage relating to the previous branding. Don’t make it too obvious. It is more a matter of establishing a connection than mimicry.

Make an Impact Front and Back

Does your store have a separate entrance and exit, with large glass automatic doors at the front and rear? Or perhaps just large glass windows at the back?

Many people may become interested in your business simply by seeing your rear window business decals. They will entice them to visit your store in the future. So think about how passers-by perceive your store from the outside, on all sides.

Choose a motif that represents your business, and continue it on the back windows or glass doors. With custom decals on all of your business’ glass areas, every inch of your store will become a marketing platform.

Business Window Decals FAQ

How long will my business window decals last?

Under ideal conditions, our business window decals can last for 5-7 years. But they will last for 3 years in most outdoor conditions and even a bit longer in most indoor conditions.

If you want your decals to last as long as possible, or you are exposing them to harsh conditions, we highly recommend our lamination service.

You can apply our business window decals to windows, mirrors, glass doors, and numerous other non-porous surfaces. They can even be used on certain riveted or rounded surfaces, although smooth surfaces offer the best results.

What happens if my business window mural gets wet?

Feel free to use our custom business window decals in interior and exterior applications. They are weather and water-resistant. But take care not to saturate them with water, as this could weaken the material.

For extra longevity and protection from the elements, consider our lamination service. It adds a protective, glossy layer to your decal with no damage to your design.
