Oneway Vinyl Sizes

Contra vision rolls are typically 1.37m wide and comes in various lengths. We load these contra vision vinyl rolls into our printer to print and cut any design as you require. Should your design be bigger than a roll, we will print your design as panels and once applied, it will form your design.

Contra Vision Sticker Installation

The application process is very easy. In the case of patterns, a transfer tape will be applied over the vinyl to keep the pattern in place. Once the etched vinyl sticker is applied onto the glass, you can remove the transfer tape.

Due to the holes in the contravision, the sticker is easy to apply as it will not trap any air to form bubbles.

The steps are:

• Wipe the windows of any oil or dust that may get trapped between the vinyl and the window.
• Make sure there is not draft of air to blow more dust onto the windows.
• Cut away any waste around the edge of the contravision printing to match the shape of the window.
• Position the one way sticker on the window and peel back only the top 5cm
• Cut the backing paper still on the window
• Use the flat object like a credit card to push the exposed contra vision sticker flat to stick and hold the rest of the sticker in place.
• Roll the oneway vinyl up from the bottom
• Pull the backing paper from underneath, down while applying the vinyl from the top down.
• Be careful not to use any sharp objects on the vinyl to prevent any scratches
• Don’t use any strong chemical to clean the sandblast and only use a lint free cloth to white it
