Decal Specialists

Australia's largest supplier of open stock decals. Our company has been supplying water slide transfers to the Australian market for over 10 years.

A decal consists of several layers of materials. A bottom layer of backing paper with its glue-like substance, an intermediate layer of printed colours and a top layer of lacquer coating (cover coat ). The backing paper is porous so it will absorb water. This softens the glue and releases the printing (which is held intact by the top coating). This allows the design to be transferred from the paper on which it was printed to the surface being decorated.

CERAMIC DECALS are usually applied on fired glazed finishes. Most of these surfaces are white, ivory, or pastel colours. Most are not opaque enough to provide good results against dark backgrounds.

GLASS DECALS may be applied to transparent or opaque glass surfaces. These are stronger in colour and may be used on dark backgrounds.
