Custom Specialty Decals

Unique Materials, Textures & Finishes for Custom Decals

Not every design calls for standard vinyl. Specialty decals bring the material, texture, and finish into the design itself, creating effects that can change how your artwork looks and feels once applied. Add shifting color with holographic vinyl, introduce natural grain with wood, create a raised finish with domed decals, or bring sparkle into your artwork with glitter. Each option offers its own distinctive appearance for logos, product branding, packaging, promotional graphics, and creative applications. Explore the different materials and find a finish that gives your design something standard vinyl can't

Discover a Different Kind of Decal

Sometimes the material itself is part of the design. Specialty decals introduce finishes, textures, and dimensional details that aren't possible with traditional printed vinyl, giving artwork another way to catch attention. Instead of choosing solely by shape or size, you can pick a material based on the effect you want the finished decal to create.

  • Holographic Decals shift through different colors as light and viewing angles change, making them well suited for artwork where you want the material to remain noticeable.
  • Wood Decals incorporate real wood grain into the finished design, giving logos, labels, and decorative graphics natural variation and texture.
  • Domed Decals cover printed artwork with a clear, raised dome that adds depth and creates a smooth, dimensional surface.
  • Glitter Decals add visible sparkle throughout the material, giving printed designs a finish that changes subtly as it catches the light.

The biggest difference isn't simply how these decals are printed—it's what the material adds to the artwork after printing. Color, lighting, texture, and depth can all become part of the finished design, allowing the same piece of artwork to take on a noticeably different character depending on the material you choose.

Design With the Material in Mind

Specialty materials work best when the artwork gives their unique characteristics room to show. Rather than covering the material with printed artwork, certain designs can use open or transparent areas to let holographic shine, glittery sparkle, natural wood grain, or domed depth become an intentional part of the graphic. The result is a decal where the material and printed artwork work together instead of competing for attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

|
What are specialty decals?

Specialty decals use unique materials, finishes, or dimensional features to create a different look than traditional printed vinyl. Our specialty decal collection includes holographic, wood, domed, and glitter options, giving you a choice of reflective color, natural texture, raised dimension, or sparkle.

What types of specialty decals are available?

How do I choose the right specialty decal for my design?

Start with the effect you want your finished design to have. Holographic decals are a good choice for shifting color and shine, wood decals add a natural textured appearance, domed decals create noticeable depth and dimension, and glitter decals add sparkle that catches the light.

Can specialty decals be custom cut to my design?

Yes. Specialty decals can be produced in custom shapes based on your artwork and the options available for the material you choose. This allows logos, illustrations, lettering, and other graphics to be cut into a shape that complements the finished design.

Where can specialty decals be used?

Specialty decals can be used for business branding, product labels, packaging, promotional graphics, equipment, giveaways, and decorative designs. Recommended surfaces and environments vary by material, so check the individual product specifications when choosing a decal for a particular application.

Are specialty decals waterproof?

Water resistance and outdoor durability vary between specialty decal materials. Some options are designed to handle exposure to moisture and outdoor conditions, while others may be better suited for controlled or indoor environments. Review the specifications for the individual product before choosing a specialty decal for regular exposure to water or weather.

Can I request a sample before choosing a specialty decal?

Yes. We offer free material samples so you can see and feel decal materials before placing an order. Comparing specialty finishes in person can be especially helpful when deciding between qualities such as shine, texture, sparkle, and dimension.
