What are thermal die cut decals?

 

Thermal Die Cut Decals~or~The Painted on Look

Thermal die cut decals is a process using a die made from zinc which is the exact image of what the customer wants the image to look like.  This die is heated to 300-350 degrees Fahrenheit then the die with pressure strikes the vinyl material and literally burns through the material leaving the image cut in the vinyl. 

Then the die cut image is weeded of all the material that is not the image leaving only the image on the release liner.  The next step in the manufacturing a thermal die cut decal, a type of masking or application tape is laminated to cover the cut out image with this material effectively sandwiching the die cut image between the masking and the back liner. 

When the end user applies this decal they strip away the liner leaving the die cut image on the masking or application tape.  Then the person that is applying the decal arranges the decal where desired and using pressure by using an edge of a credit card or a squeegee applies the decal to the surface.  Then the person applying the decal removes the application tape leaving the die cut image on the surface and the image looks like it is painted on. 

Thermal die cut decals can use many different colored vinyls so a company logo can be one color and various colors such as red, green, blue, etc can use utilized to make the one color logo. 

If a company has a logo with multi-colors the decal can be screen printed matching each color to a Pantone color equivalent, then die cut as above.

Now also available we can digitally print a decal and plotter cut the desire image without a die cutting tool.  This process is not thermal die cutting but it achieves the same result.  This process is usually used only for small quantities.

If you are looking for these types of decals call The Decal Factory® and ask one of our sales reps. for information, samples and a quotation.

Ask Mr. Decal he has the answers!
