vinyl, frosted, and one-way films. Common applications include storefronts,
offices, and retail, with professional installation often available to ensure high-
quality application.

meeting rooms while allowing natural light through.

advertising, promotions, and brand awareness.2

showcasing graphics on the outside, often used on storefronts.

storefront branding.

regulations to prevent collisions on large glass areas.3

promotions.

from fading.

Window Branding FAQs
What is window branding?
Window branding uses self-adhesive vinyl graphics to add interest to your
windows. Window branding can be applied to any clean, smooth window surface
that has been properly prepared.
What type of window branding should I order?
The type of window vinyl that is suitable for your purposes will depend on a
number of factors such as the finish that you are looking for, the application, and
how long you intend to have the branding in place. Our advisers can talk you
through the options if you are unsure.
How do I install my window branding?
We offer an installation service and advise customers ordering large or
complicated window vinyl to consider this option for the very best results.
However, it is possible to install your own window branding if you follow these
simple steps:
• Make sure the installation surface is absolutely clean and free of
contamination by washing it thoroughly with a solution of warm water and
washing up liquid.
• Wet the application surface. Remove the backing layer from your window
vinyl and put into position – the wet surface will allow you to move the
vinyl until it is in the right position.
• Using a squeegee gently remove any liquid or air bubbles. Take care not to
stretch or damage the vinyl when doing this.
• Allow the vinyl to air dry for at least 24 hours.
How do I measure up for my window branding?
Measure the area that you want your window branding to cover and provide this
information to Printers Media Plus, LLC. Please note that we advise you to order
your vinyl with an excess of a few millimeters to account for surface variations.8
We also advise that your finished vinyl has an excess of 3mm (1/8”) to account for
factors such as trimming, lamination and the effects of temperature.

No, we can print vinyl window branding as large as you would like, but your

resistant UV LED inks.

option that will cover it completely?

decide if you would like backing on your graphic (backing blocks visibility of the
surface beneath it).
