How are “picks” counted on a transfer decal?

“Picks” refer to the small pieces of vinyl that must be removed from inside a design during production, such as the centers of letters like “O,” “P,” or “A.”

After cutting, these sections are removed by hand in a process called weeding. Designs with more picks require additional time and precision, especially for detailed lettering or intricate artwork.

This process ensures clean edges and a professional, background-free appearance once applied.
