“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.

Transfer tape is a clear application film that holds your decal together during installation. It keeps letters and design elements aligned so you can position the decal accurately.

Once the decal is applied to the surface, the transfer tape is removed, leaving only the vinyl design behind.

Vinyl lettering decals adhere best to smooth surfaces such as glass, metal, painted vehicles, plastic, and finished wood. Rough or porous materials may reduce adhesion.
