Comments: Dry transfer decals, also known as rub-down transfers, are ideal for nearly any small or medium-size interior application where lettering, logos, and other graphic elements are needed. They apply neatly in a single step with no water nor additional adhesive required. First-time users find them simple to use and their appearance is high quality. Originally used primarily by industrial designers for product prototypes, their uses have grown exponentially over the years. They also work well for small and medium-size interior signage and can be flawlessly rubbed onto any clean, dry surface whether it's plastic, glass, wood, metal, or wallboard/plaster.
One of the latest significant new uses for custom dry transfer decals is museum wall labels and art gallery exhibit captions because of their high-end appearance. Transfer decals retain exceptional clarity even when reproducing small type fonts (the fine print). Their excellent quality at small sizes also makes them ideal for lines and lettering on electronic circuit boards, instrument panels, clocks and watches, musical instruments (primarily guitars), and small models produced by hobbyists. Because they apply directly to a smooth surface of any kind, custom decals also work well for small-batch product labels, premium packaging, retail displays, trade show booths, and other consumer and business-to-business marketing needs.
