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

Can I reposition permanent decals?
No, you can’t. Our permanent decals are made of a high-tack adhesive material, designed to stick on most surfaces longer than regular decals.
How long will my permanent decal sticker last?
If installed properly, the estimated lifespan of our permanent decals is at least five years.
What type of adhesive is used?
Our permanent decals are made of 3M 180C adhesive vinyl, a very durable and high-quality pressure-activated material. It is designed for long-term use so the decals can last for years. It easily conforms to curves, flat surfaces, and corrugations, so it’s suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The high tack and strong adhesion creates a permanent bond that prevents air bubbles and also makes the decal impossible to simply remove. Removing the permanent decals may damage the surface, especially when new.
How can I remove my permanent decals without damaging the wall?
If you need to remove your permanent decal, the safest way is to apply heat. You can soak the surface in hot water, use a heat gun, or hair dryer. When the decal warms up, gently peel it off and clean the surface with an adhesive remover.

Please Note: For large decals intended to cover entire windows or large surfaces, we recommend professional installation for the best results.
Surface Preparation
- Clean the surface to ensure it is free of debris for proper adhesion. Your main goal is to remove any dirt or grime that may prevent adhesion. A hose or power washer is typically sufficient.
- Avoid applying your graphic to any foreign or loose substances or cracks or crevices that may negatively impact the graphic's ability to properly adhere.
- A mixture of 50/50 to 70/30 percent isopropyl alcohol (IPA) + water can be used for dirty surfaces where adhesion could be difficult. After applying the solution, spray it with a hose and allow it to air dry. This step is rarely needed.
