Choose the bundle that matches your work

• Essential Install Kit - $24.99: 5 in x 10 ft (12.7 cm x 3.05 m) professional application tape, one 4 in (10 cm) felt-edge installation applicator, and a printed installation guide. Best for common 2-4 in lettering and smaller cut-vinyl graphics.
• Complete Install Kit - $39.99: 12 in x 10 ft (30.5 cm x 3.05 m) professional application tape, one 4 in felt-edge installation applicator, surface-preparation wipes, and a printed installation guide. This is the most popular choice for wider graphics and a complete single-job setup.
• Contractor Install Kit - $64.99: 12 in x 25 ft (30.5 cm x 7.62 m) professional application tape, two 4 in felt-edge installation applicators, surface-preparation wipes, a measuring tape, and a printed installation guide. Best for repeat work, fleets, and multiple wide graphics.

When application tape is needed

Professional application tape holds unmasked cut-vinyl lettering together while it moves from the release liner to the installation surface. A finished decal that already arrives premasked normally needs the felt-edge installation applicator, not a second layer of tape. Printed stickers and labels generally do not use application tape.

Dry application method

1. Confirm that the decal film, adhesive and surface are suitable for dry application. Follow the instructions supplied with the decal when they differ.
2. Clean and dry the smooth application area using a method approved for that substrate. Use the supplied surface-preparation wipes only on compatible surfaces. Measure the position and hold the graphic with a low-tack tape hinge.
3. Peel the release liner away from the graphic construction rather than pulling the graphic away from its liner.
4. Press with firm, short, overlapping strokes from the centre toward an edge, continuing past the graphic edge.
5. Peel the carrier tape back on itself at a low angle, close to 180 degrees. If vinyl lifts, lower the carrier and press the area again.
6. Press every edge again after carrier removal. A tiny persistent air pocket can be released at one edge with a pin; do not use a razor or knife.

Fit and limits

The applicator is intended for smooth, clean, stable surfaces and pressure-sensitive vinyl graphics. Painted surfaces should be fully cured. Temperature, wet-versus-dry method and post-install wait time depend on the film, adhesive and substrate; this kit does not replace the instructions supplied with the graphic.

Use it across the compliance catalog

The Essential bundle fits common CVOR and fleet lettering, boat registration numbers and UTV ID decals. Choose Complete for wider one-off graphics and Contractor for repeat work. Measure the finished graphic and confirm whether it is already premasked before choosing a tier.
