Wall decals are made using a process called computer-controlled vinyl cutting. Here's how it works:
-
Design: The first step is to design the decal using specialized graphics software. This can include text, images, and shapes.
-
Cutting: The design is loaded into a computer-controlled vinyl cutter. The cutter uses a sharp blade to cut the design out of a sheet of vinyl.
-
Weeding: The excess vinyl around the design is removed by hand using a tool called a weeder. This leaves only the design on a sheet of transfer tape.
-
Application: The transfer tape is used to apply the decal to the wall. The adhesive on the back of the vinyl sticks to the wall, while the transfer tape is removed.
-
Finishing: Finally, any bubbles or wrinkles in the decal are smoothed out, and any excess vinyl is trimmed away using a utility knife.
The result is a high-quality, long-lasting wall decal that can be easily applied and removed without damaging the wall underneath.
