Best place to order exterior lettering or decorations

newcamp · June 2022

Looking primarily for text, but I would like some options like different font sizes in the same design.

If that is not available, I could also create a design on my own and turn into a PDF or JPG for printing and cutting.

Which company is good to work with?

Is vinyl stickers the way to go or is there some better option?

Thanks,

I used a local sign shop (Fast Signs) that specializes in vinyl wraps. I was able to select from a variety of fonts, colors and sizes. They sent me a mockup for approval before printing. Installation was easy - like hanging wallpaper without the mess. Make sure you have a really clean surface first.

@newcamp, I have not personally used these providers, but I kept the links in case someone asked:

A couple other sites I made a note of are: “JadeDecals” (Etsy); “VinylDisorder” (California)

And @pthomas745 provided a link for a number of decal discussions in the following discussion thread:

I use this off Amazon for all my text decals. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LDPBNJ2?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_1DQP8EJW4JPX3A3VFDSD

@newcamp I bought lettering from RapidVinyl on Etsy. It came out perfect and they had a large selection of colors and fonts at a great price. For reference the height of the lettering I purchased is 5”. It was pretty easy to apply too. Holding up well but it has been on only 4 or 5 weeks.

Looks great Flybone. I love the font you chose. What is it?

We just installed this vinyl decal the other day and got it from StickerChef.

Here is the vinyl lettering we used. It has been on for just over 2 years and still looks new. I have to check with the boss to see where we got it since it currently is slipping my mind. Like many things these days!

@Sprocket on RapidVinyl’s preview site it was Font #25. I don’t see a name just a number. Here is the preview site: https://preview.rapidvinyl.com/651/ . I tried to get it to match the font of the movie poster for which our ship is named…

The only negative with this font was it had thin lines, so I did have to go real slow when applying it. But the backing came off easy which helped.

The color was Dark Red so if you or anyone has the new red trim - you can see it matches the trim color perfectly!

Thanks for all the suggestions!

I got a bit sidetracked by other stuff, but all these look like great places...

I ordered off of Amazon, also sticker as well. Fast shipping

My “seize the day” decal came from here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/JadeDecals

Easy to work with. She was willing to tweak colors, fonts, and wording (went back and forth a couple of times on Latin vs English, and she made several revisions to get proportions right).

Three years in, it still looks new. Would absolutely buy again.

Theirs or design your own... https://finishingtouchvinylart.com/

@Flybone89. Thanks!

I see by your post that you ordered the letters. Is there a reason I should order just letters vs a word printed on rectangular transparent vinyl?

Transparent vinyl doesn't stay transparent. Cut vinyl looks a lot better in the long run than stickers.

Thank you SLJ

Got our vinyl name on the tab today! We bought it from posterburner.com

They will print from an image you supply. Fantastic customer service. We didn’t order the cutout version. So I contacted them, and even though it was a few days later, they switched our order for us. They responded very quickly to questions.

We used Finishing Touch at https://finishingtouchvinylart.com/. Carson was great to work with, and we ended up with a unique custom design stylizing Vermont in sugar season. I applied the mountains first and the placed the trees and cows individually. Very reasonable.
