Preparing & Applying A Transfer Sticker
How to Prepare a Transfer Sticker:
- First, realize a transfer sticker comes in three parts: 1) The paper backing, 2) The actual vinyl sticker, and 3) Transfer Tape.
- Second, if any air bubbles are present, don't panic. It's easy to remove them. To Fix air bubbles, move the transfer tape from one edge to the middle of the sticker. Then slowly lay it back down on a flat surface using the side of your hand, a credit card, or something with a straight line for large-format stickers. Do the same thing on the other side - see video above for more details.
- Finally, prepare the area for application. Clean the area with soap and warm water, or use rubbing alcohol.

How to Apply a Transfer Sticker:
- First, lay the sticker down flat and use a sponge, squeegee, or a credit card to firmly press all three layers together. This ensures the sticker clings to the transfer tape.
---- NOTE: if the sticker stays on the backing, slowly replace the transfer tape and repeat the last (first) step until the sticker stays with the transfer tape layer (see video)
- Second, place the sticker (now two layers: the sticker and transfer tape) in the desired location. Make sure to go middle-out or one-side to the other so no air bubbles transfer over.
- Third, press firmly down with your squeegee or credit card. Try to make sure it's properly sealed on the new surface
- Fourth, Try to wait 24 hours for proper application
- And Finally, peel the transfer tape off at an opposing angle (start in a corner). See the video above for proper form. Take your time.
That's it! You did it.
