Printed vinyl, cut vinyl and outdoor stickers

Vinyl stickers, printed or cut, and what weather does to each

Vinyl is sold two ways that look alike on a quote and nothing alike on a door. Printed vinyl carries an image in ink; cut vinyl is coloured film with the letters cut out of it, and no ink at all.

Vinyl sticker printing in Singapore, in one paragraph

EZ Print prints vinyl stickers in Singapore, and has done since 2017. Printed vinyl is white or clear film printed in full colour, left bare or laminated matt or gloss, then trimmed, kiss-cut or die-cut. Cut vinyl is solid-colour film with letters cut from it, weeded and taped to transfer in one piece, with no print to wear away. Both are waterproof, because vinyl does not take in water the way paper does. Outdoors, the laminate and the adhesive decide how a sticker ages. Cut lettering is weeded from 25 mm letter height with 2 mm strokes, and container or roller-shutter graphics are panelled with a 25 mm overlap. EZ Print quotes from the specification and does not publish prices.

The specification a vinyl sticker is quoted from

Printed or cut, indoor or outdoor, the surface, and the size. Those four set the film, the laminate and the adhesive. Say how long the sticker has to stay as well, because a campaign and a permanent marking are different films.

A vinyl sticker is not drawn here, because the range has no one size worth drawing: a small outdoor label starts at 20 mm wide and a roller-shutter graphic is a set of panels. What a vinyl job is built to is a set of working limits rather than a trim — 25 mm letter height and 2 mm stroke for cut lettering, 25 mm overlap between panels, 5 mm type on large printed pieces — and those are stated below.

25mm

The smallest letter height that is weeded and taped as cut vinyl lettering, with strokes at least 2 mm thick. Below it, the letters arrive cut but still in the surrounding film.

Printed vinyl: White or clear vinyl printed in full colour, unlaminated or with a matt or gloss laminate.
Cut vinyl: Solid-colour gloss or matt film, plus chrome, brushed-metal, holographic, reflective, fluorescent, sparkle, wood-grain and frosted films.
Adhesives: Permanent, removable, and a grey adhesive that stops a dark surface showing through a white film.
Cutting: Trimmed square or rectangular, cut round, kiss-cut on a backing, die-cut to the outline, or both.
Sizes: Small labels 20 to 297 mm wide; printed panels 148 to 1220 mm wide; trimmed pieces up to 3000 × 1500 mm.
Weeding: Cut letters weeded and taped from 25 mm high with 2 mm strokes. Smaller letters arrive cut but unweeded.
Panels: Container and roller-shutter graphics split into panels with a 25 mm overlap at each join.
Turnaround: Standard is generally 7–14 working days. Express is quoted per job.

The material

Printed films, cut films and the surfaces they meet

Every vinyl here is a face, an adhesive and a liner, like any sticker. What differs is whether the colour is printed onto the face or is the face, and that one fact decides how it is cut, how it is fitted and how it ages. Nothing here is a sheet from the caliper table, so nothing carries a caliper.

Printed white vinyl

Also sold as PVC vinyl sticker, white vinyl sticker, outdoor sticker, weatherproof sticker.

A white PVC film with a permanent adhesive, printed in full colour. It is the face for any vinyl sticker that carries an image, a photograph or a gradient.

Under ink: Two routes: UV-cured ink left unlaminated, which dries matt and resists water and scuffing, or print with a matt or gloss laminate over it for harsher exposure and heavy handling.
Best for: Outdoor notices, equipment and machinery, hoarding panels, door and shopfront graphics.
Avoid for: Type under about 5 mm high on a large piece. Large-format inkjet softens small letters.
On the schedule: Laminated before it is cut, so the blade goes through the laminate rather than under it.

Printed clear vinyl

Also sold as transparent vinyl sticker, clear outdoor sticker, glass sticker.

The same film without the white pigment, for glass and painted surfaces where the background is meant to show through the design.

Under ink: White prints as clear unless a white ink layer is laid behind it. On a large clear piece, a clear border of 5 to 20 mm around the design keeps the edges from curling and lifting.
Best for: Glass doors, shopfront glazing, vehicle windows, clear signage.
Avoid for: Dark surfaces with no white layer, where the colour sinks into the background.
On the schedule: A white layer is an extra pass, and it is planned at artwork stage.

Solid-colour cut vinyl

Also sold as cut vinyl lettering, vinyl lettering, plotter-cut sticker, die-cut lettering.

Coloured film with nothing printed on it. Letters and shapes are cut through the face, the waste between them is weeded away, and application tape holds the result in place for transfer.

Under ink: No ink at all. The colour is the film, so it is chosen from film colours rather than built in CMYK, and there is no printed layer to scuff or wear.
Best for: Door and glass lettering, one-colour logos, vehicle names and numbers.
Avoid for: Photographs, gradients and fine detail. A letter under 25 mm high or with strokes under 2 mm is not weeded.
On the schedule: Cut, weeded and taped. Where weeding is not wanted it is supplied kiss-cut on one continuous roll, not as separate pieces.

Special-effect vinyl films

Also sold as chrome sticker, reflective sticker, fluorescent sticker, frosted sticker, wood-grain sticker.

Films with a surface effect built into them: chrome, brushed metal, holographic, reflective, fluorescent, sparkle, wood grain and frosted.

Under ink: Mostly cut rather than printed, like solid-colour vinyl, so the effect is the film itself. Reflective white film can also be printed in full colour.
Best for: Safety and night-visibility markings, feature lettering, frosted cut-outs on glass.
Avoid for: Textured surfaces. A smooth surface gives the adhesive far more to hold than a textured one, where the bond drops sharply.
On the schedule: Cut, weeded and taped like any cut vinyl.

Container and roller-shutter vinyl

Also sold as container sticker, roller shutter sticker, shutter graphic.

Printed vinyl in panels for a ribbed or slatted steel surface, split into strips with a 25 mm overlap at each join so the graphic reads as one piece.

Under ink: Printed, with a laminate offered over it; the laminate is the layer that takes the weather on a container or a shutter.
Best for: Containers used as stores or site offices, shopfront roller shutters.
Avoid for: Repositioning after the film touches the surface. Once applied it cannot be adjusted, which is why fitting takes a practised hand.
On the schedule: Panelled to the measured surface. Fitting, where it is wanted, is arranged separately from production.

Name the surface and whether the sticker is indoors or out — painted steel, glass, a ribbed container wall, a powder-coated shutter — and say how long it has to stay. The film, the laminate and the adhesive are chosen against those answers.The materials library

Weeding is lifting away the film between the letters by hand, so only the lettering is left on the liner. Application tape then holds every letter in position while the whole piece is transferred to the surface. Below 25 mm high or 2 mm thick, letters are too small to weed reliably and arrive cut but unweeded.

Laminating, cutting and weeding

Printed vinyl is printed, laminated and then cut, the same order as any sticker. Cut vinyl skips the print and the laminate and goes straight to the cutter, then to weeding, which is the step that sets how fine a letter can be.

Vinyl sticker finishing: each operation, the working days it adds, and whether its cut file is kept

Scroll the table sideways to see every column.

Every operation here is quoted inside the standard window. What changes between a first order and a second is the tooling: a die, a block or a screen is made once and then kept on file with your approved artwork, which is why the reorder of a job carrying one is a different job from the first.

Printed vinyl can carry anything a file can hold. Cut vinyl can only carry what a blade can follow, and in return there is nothing printed on it to wear away.

Pairings that work

Printed white vinyl with a gloss laminate on a painted steel door outdoors. The laminate takes the rain and the rubbing, and the print stays under it.
Solid-colour cut vinyl for door and glass lettering over 25 mm high. It weeds cleanly, transfers on tape, and has no print to scuff.
Clear vinyl with a white layer behind the colour and a clear border around the design. It reads solid on glass and the edges stay down.
Container vinyl split into panels with a 25 mm overlap. The overlap hides each join and the graphic reads as one piece across the wall.

Combinations that fail

Cut vinyl lettering under 25 mm high or with strokes under 2 mm. It cannot be weeded, so it arrives as a sheet of cut film to pick out by hand.
A photograph or a gradient sent for cut vinyl. A blade follows a vector path, and an image placed in an Illustrator file is still not one.
A paper label on an outdoor door because the enquiry only said "sticker". Paper takes in water at its cut edge, and outside it lifts and stains.
An ordinary adhesive on a textured surface. The film touches only the high points, and the bond is a fraction of what it is on a smooth face.
Small type on a large printed piece. Under about 5 mm high it prints soft, and a QR code under 25 mm square may not scan.

Sizes, by what is being made

Vinyl stickers run from a label a thumb covers to a graphic that covers a shutter, and each kind has its own working limits.

Small vinyl labels · 20 to 297 mm wide: Kiss-cut or die-cut on a sheet. Films include permanent, removable, grey-adhesive and polymeric vinyl.
Printed vinyl · 148 to 1220 mm wide: Trimmed square or rectangular, cut round, kiss-cut or die-cut.
Trimmed printed pieces · up to 3000 × 1500 mm: Supplied as single pieces, not on a sheet, for hoarding and signage panels.
Cut vinyl lettering · 25 to 1200 mm wide: Weeded and taped from 25 mm letter height and 2 mm stroke.
Vehicle stickers · 148 to 1320 mm wide: Printed film with a laminate over it, cut to the design.
Container and shutter panels: Split into strips with a 25 mm overlap, sized to the measured surface.

Vector for anything cut, resolution for anything printed

A vinyl file is one of two things. Printed vinyl is an image with a cut path around it; cut vinyl is nothing but the cut path. The second cannot be made from a picture.

The file

Format: PDF/X-4 or Illustrator with live vectors. A photograph placed inside an Illustrator file does not become a vector.
Cut vinyl: Outlined type and closed shapes only, with the film colour named for each.
CUT layer: For printed vinyl, the cut path as a closed vector on its own layer, in a spot colour, never printed.
Two depths: Where a sticker is both kiss-cut and die-cut, each depth goes on its own named layer in a different spot colour.
Panels: For container and shutter work, panel splits marked with a 25 mm overlap at each join.
Surface: A photograph and the measurements of the actual surface, ribbed or flat.

The colour, and the detail

Colour mode: CMYK for printed vinyl. Cut vinyl is chosen from film colours, not built from ink.
Small text: 5 mm high, about 14 pt, on large printed pieces; 4 mm, about 12 pt, on small labels.
Text on clear vinyl: 7 mm high, about 18 pt, as the smallest recommended size, with a white layer behind it where it must read solid.
QR codes: Above 25 mm square on any vinyl sticker.
White on clear: Supplied as a separate vector layer under any colour that has to stay opaque.
Clear border: 5 to 20 mm of clear film around a large transparent design, so the edge does not curl.

Say indoors or out, the surface, and whether the job is printed or cut. A file built for one rarely works for the other, and saying so first saves a redraw.

Turnaround

Print, laminate, cut, weed

Standard
Standard turnaround is generally 7–14 working days.
Standard orders. The schedule for specialist finishing is confirmed in your quotation.
Express
Same-day and urgent printing available.
Subject to artwork approval, payment, print type and production availability. Timing confirmed per job.

What sets the date: The number of steps. Printed vinyl is printed, laminated and cut; cut vinyl is cut, weeded and taped; a panelled container graphic adds the split. All of it is quoted inside the standard window.
What a reorder skips: The cut path and the panel split, kept on file with the approved artwork. A second set for the same door, shutter or container reprints straight to those figures.
If the date is tight: Send the size, printed or cut, indoor or outdoor, and the surface, and ask for an express quotation. EZ Print confirms the specification, production schedule and next steps in the quotation.

Standard is generally 7–14 working days, and express is quoted per job. Fitting, where it is wanted, is arranged separately from production because it depends on access to the surface rather than on the print.

Questions asked about vinyl stickers

Are vinyl stickers waterproof?

Yes. A vinyl face does not take in water, so it holds up where a paper sticker would wick and lift. Outdoors, a laminate over printed vinyl protects the ink from rain and rubbing, and the adhesive has to suit the surface it goes onto.

What is the difference between printed vinyl and cut vinyl?

Printed vinyl is a white or clear film with the design printed on it in full colour, then cut out. Cut vinyl is a coloured film with letters or shapes cut from it and no print at all. Printed vinyl carries photographs and gradients; cut vinyl carries lettering and solid shapes.

Do outdoor vinyl stickers need lamination?

Not always. Printed vinyl can run with UV-cured ink and no laminate, which already resists water and scuffing. A matt or gloss laminate is the choice for harsher exposure and heavy handling. Cut vinyl has no print on it, so it needs no laminate.

What is the smallest cut vinyl lettering?

Letters are weeded and taped from 25 mm high with strokes at least 2 mm thick. Below that the letters are still cut but not weeded, so they arrive sitting in the surrounding film.

Can vinyl stickers go on a container or a roller shutter?

Yes. The graphic is printed on vinyl and split into panels with a 25 mm overlap at each join. It cannot be repositioned once it touches the surface, so fitting needs a practised hand.

Will a vinyl sticker stick to a textured surface?

Less well than to a smooth one. On a smooth surface the adhesive touches everywhere; on a textured one it reaches only the high points and the bond drops sharply. Name the surface with the enquiry so the film is chosen against it.

Can my logo image be used for cut vinyl?

Not as an image. A cutter follows vector paths, and a picture placed in an Illustrator file is still a picture. The logo has to be supplied, or redrawn, as closed vector shapes before it can be cut.
