1Upload your design
Vector file AI, EPS, SVG or PDF · max 20MB
We cut vinyl along the lines in your file, so it must be a vector cut file: AI, EPS, SVG, or a PDF saved from Illustrator or similar design software. Photos, JPGs, PNGs and most Canva downloads can’t be cut. Only have a JPG or PNG? Contact us.
Decals are one or two colours. Each piece is cut and weeded by hand, then taped so it goes on in one go. For three or more colours, ask us for a quote.
2Colour, size and detail
Number of colours
Two-colour decals are cut as two separate layers, weeded, then lined up on one sheet of tape. Your file needs each colour as a separate solid colour (or layer), with no gradients or shading.
Finished size overall width × height, mm
Up to 580 mm one way and 3000 mm the other. Thin lines and small text should be at least 2 mm wide so they cut and weed cleanly.
Detail level
This sets the hand weeding time. We check every file before cutting and will contact you before going ahead if your design needs a different level.

Before you upload
Getting your file ready
We cut your decal from coloured vinyl along the lines in your file, weed it by hand and tape it so it goes on in one go. Four quick checks and your decal will come out just the way you pictured it. Not sure about your file? Ask us and we'll gladly take a look.
Send a vector cut file
We cut along the lines in your file, so it must be a vector file: AI, EPS, SVG, or a PDF saved from Illustrator or similar design software. Photos, JPGs, PNGs and most Canva downloads can't be cut.
Keep lines at least 2mm wide
Every line, gap and letter is cut and weeded by hand, so make thin lines and small text at least 2mm wide at the finished size. Anything thinner may not cut or weed cleanly.
Use one or two solid colours
Decals are cut from solid coloured vinyl, so use one or two flat colours with no photos, gradients or shadows. For two colours, put each colour on its own layer. Need three or more? Ask us for a quote.
Inside or outside the glass?
For walls, vehicles, boats and the outside of glass, choose Outside surface. For the inside of a window, choose Inside of glass and we'll cut it reversed so it reads the right way from outside.
Which detail level should I choose?
The detail level sets the hand weeding time. We check every file before cutting, and we'll contact you before going ahead if your design needs a different level.
| Detail level | Best for |
|---|---|
| Simple | Bold shapes with only a few pieces |
| Standard | A logo with some text |
| Detailed | Fine lines, lots of small text or lots of pieces |
Vector file checklist
A few quick things to check in your design software before you save your file.
Text Outlined
- Convert all text to outlines (curves), so the fonts can't change.
- Check your spelling, as we don't check it.
Shapes Solid fills
- Use solid, flat colours only, with no photos, gradients or shadows.
- For two colours, put each colour on its own layer.
Size Finished size
- Set your design at the finished size you enter in step 2.
- No bleed or crop marks are needed for cut vinyl.
How to apply your decal
Your decal arrives weeded (the extra vinyl removed) with clear transfer tape over the top, which holds every piece in place while you put it on. For two colours, apply one layer at a time, lining up the second with the first.
1. Prepare Clean & dry
- Clean the surface with warm soapy water, then dry it completely.
- Apply on a mild day, out of direct sun.
2. Position Measure twice
- Hold it in place with a strip of masking tape along the top, like a hinge.
- Step back and check it's straight and level.
3. Apply Go slowly
- Lift it up, peel off the backing paper, then smooth it down from the centre outwards with a card.
- Rub firmly, then peel the transfer tape back slowly, folding it back flat against itself.

Choose Outside surface for walls, vehicles, boats and the outside of windows. Choose Inside of glass if it's going on the inside of a window to be read from outside, and we'll cut it reversed so it reads the right way.
What does weeded and taped mean?
Weeded means we've removed all the extra vinyl by hand, leaving just your design. Taped means there's a clear transfer tape over the top that holds every piece in its place, so you can put the whole decal on in one go.
How do I put my decal on?
- Clean the surface with warm soapy water and dry it completely. Apply on a mild day, out of direct sun.
- Position the decal and hold it in place with a strip of masking tape along the top, like a hinge. Check it's straight and level.
