Layering is service we offer here at The Art of Stickers, but “What does layering mean?” we hear you ask. Layering is exactly as the word suggests; multiple different coloured vinyl cuts placed on top of one another to create a single image. Once all the pieces come together, they create a more unique and interesting design than just a single colour decal, and sometimes at a lower cost than printing the design. However, layering doesn’t work for all designs, such as ones with lots of small lettering, or more than two to three colours, and is, generally, more likely to be used for adding a border to a current design. An example of a recent sticker we made using the layering technique is this custom cut banner decal . There are three colours to this design; shiny gold metallic, black, and white, and the final product looks just amazing once applied. You never know what kind of decal you could come up with that uses layering, but don’t forget that your friendly Stickerart store will be happy to make it just for you.

What are layered decals?

If you have noticed on the Art of Stickers homepage a Picture Gallery was added to it.

If you go to the Vinyl Cut Decals Gallery, you will see in the title of some products it mention they are layered.

What is a layered decal/sticker?
This is how the first photo was created.

First of all a black piece of vinyl was cut slightly bigger for the outline of the nickname and  it was also insured that the correct sections were cut to give the bright yellow depth.
The bright yellow was then cut to a smaller size, the vinyl was weeded and then a layer of clear application tape was applied.
After lining the yellow up correctly with the black, the yellow was placed onto it to create the final product.
This customer was after their nick name in bright yellow and wanted something different so it would stand out. I think this was achieved.

The same technique was used for this light green and black DC custom sticker.

To look at more layered stickers, be sure to look through the Vinyl Cut Stickers section of the Picture Gallery. Make sure to keep an eye out for the other custom layered products we have created.
