For example, you can place them six feet apart as an effective visual reminder of the proper safety distance to maintain in your workplace. Our floor safety signs are created to withstand constant foot traffic, no matter the climate or surroundings.

How to install our wall stickers?

We use transfer stickers which consist of 3 layers of material. The bottom layer is the paper backing of the sticker, on top of that is a vinyl sticker and on top of the sticker is a transfer tape that holds the individual components of your sticker design in place once you remove it from the paper backing.

Steps:

1. Clean the area when the sticker will be applied.

2. Remove sticker from the vinyl backing by peeling away the transfer tape. The tape will hold the individual pieces of your sticker design in place while you position it on your desired surface.

3. Once your sticker is positioned correctly you can press the transfer tape onto a surface to adhere it.

4. Next, use a card or squeegee to apply pressure to the entire design to make sure it's fully adhered and get rid of any unwanted air bubbles.

5. Finally, slowly peel the transfer tape away at a 180 degree angle to leave the sticker adhered.

If your design is especially delicate, let it sit for 24 hours before removing the transfer tape. This gives your sticker time to adhere more strongly to the surface and makes it easier to remove the tape while leaving the design intact.
