What Are Permanent Decals?

Permanent decals are similar to other decals but are designed for long-term commercial and industrial use. They use 3M’s Controltac™ and Comply™ v3 and have been created for both indoor and outdoor purposes. As a result, they can stick to surfaces such as wood, brick, metal, cement, and more.

These high-adhesive decals are built to last in even the toughest of conditions. If you’re looking for a decal that can be exposed to rain, dirt, and/or the sun, these are the decals for you.

At Signs.com, we offer permanent decals in any size. You can also choose from the following shapes available:

  • Square
  • Rectangle
  • Circle
  • Oval
  • Rounded Corners (¼")
  • Rounder Corners (1”)
  • Custom Shape
  • Custom with Border

Installation

To install these permanent decals, begin by removing the back liner and place your decal on the intended flat or slightly curved surface. Once your decal is placed, use a plastic squeegee to press them firmly against the substrate. As you squeegee, the decal will release its adhesive residue for permanent installation. Allow 24 hours for the decal to fully adhere to the surface.

Care

Whether you are using your decal indoors or outdoors they are susceptible to being covering in dust or dirt. To clean, wipe them with soap and water. Permanent decals are safe for most car washes.
To remove, use a blow dryer or other heat source to loosen the decal. You will then want to gently peel it away from the surface. See the FAQ for more information on the potential for surface damage due to the permanency of these decals.
