Glow Adhesive - Specialty Vinyl

When will my order ship? Do you offer rush options?

Our current PROCESSING time varies depending on what you are ordering. If an item we offer takes longer than one business day to be ready to ship, you will see MTO with a time frame in the title. This is the processing time for this item. If you order multiple items, all items will be shipped after the longest listed processing time. Most pattern vinyl ships within 3 business days. Custom items take longer. If your order is scheduled to ship on a holiday or weekend, it will ship the next business day.

If you would like to rush your order  please contact us here to upgrade to the RUSH option. This option is not available at checkout and you must contact us to arrange this option.

What are my payment options?

Our payment processing is setup through Shopify, Sezzle, and Paypal.

Our printed vinyl is available in 6x6, 12x6, 12x12, and 12x24 inch sheets for each of our pattern listings. If you are looking to order larger rolls by the foot, please check out our roll options here. We can only make printed vinyl in one foot increments.

Do you offer wholesale or bulk orders?

Does the Heat Transfer Vinyl Sheets come with the mask/carrier sheet?

Yes! When you purchase our HTV sheets, you will also receive the masking you will need.

The masking sheets can be reused multiple times so your order will include one (1) carrier sheet per 3 sheets of HTV ordered.

For example, if you order 1-3 sheets of 12x12, you will receive one 12x12 mask.

Also, if you order one 12x24 sheet and two 12x12 sheets, you will receive one 12x24 mask.

If you would like to order more masking, it can be purchased here.

Does your printed vinyl need to be laminated? How long does it last?

Our printed vinyl is rated for 3 years of outdoor use with no lamination, 6 years of outdoor use WITH lamination, 5 years of indoor use without lamination, and 200 years of indoor use without lamination if out of direct sunlight.

The ink we use has an anti-scratch agent which provides a high level of scratch resistance on smooth media (vinyl). Although this helps to decrease the likelihood of scratches, we would recommend adding laminate to vinyl that will be in contact with other items for products like key chains, drinkware, jewelry, etc.

Glitter Laminate can be found here.

Clear Laminate can be found here.

Instructions on how to apply laminate can be found at: http://howto.smashinginkvinyl.com
