When looking for graphics, signs, banners or decals there are a few things to keep in mind. We have been in business for several years and often see what looks to be a great deal but there is always that fine print. The number one thing to look for is the brand of vinyl used. There are several vinyl manufactures out there and all are good for some things but not others. For an example we use Avery vinyl 90% of the time for our signs, vehicle graphics, banners and decals simply because it is durable and remains intact through all weather conditions. This vinyl costs a little more than some of the others but in our minds it is well worth it to know when we sell a decal or apply a graphic, it will stay. Avery has very little fade from the sun. Now don't misunderstand me on this, all vinyl will fade over time but Avery seems to take longer than most of the others. Along with Avery we use 3M and FDC vinyl because we have found the same results with these brands. There are several "cheaper" brands out there that will peel and fade a lot quicker than the ones we have mentioned here. Hundreds of graphics and decals sell every day on eBay but if you look most don't tell you about the vinyl being used only the time it should hold up for. We all work hard for our money and you as well as I want to spend it in the most cost effective way possible. Don't be afraid to ask the seller questions about the vinyl. See what they will answer you and if they give you a direct answer or a drawn out run around for the answer. The same goes for banners, magnetic signs and so on. We don't expect a seller to tell you their supplier but they should always tell you the brand they use. Feel free to contact us for any questions you may have whether you are buying from us or some one else we will give you the answer you are looking for or tell you where to go to see it for yourself.

Thank you for taking the time to read this article and good luck.
