What are dry transfers?
A custom dry transfer/rub-on transfer is a semi-permanent application that can be applied quickly and effortlessly to a number of substrates. It is created by printing a special ink—backed with adhesive on a transfer paper that can be rubbed off without the use of water or other solvents. The image can be transferred onto any smooth surface, including wood, metal, glass or plastic.
Corporate clients use our dry transfers for product prototypes and visual art installations calling for logos, text or precise visual details. For the art world, transfers can be used for museum wall labels and are fast and easy to apply. They produce letter-perfect results. Similar wall decals are ideal for art galleries, efficiently producing a much cleaner appearance compared to paper labels. Luxury retailers often use custom dry transfers for glass display case product information and window installations. We have even been a source for brides and grooms to personalize items like their Wedding Day Guest Books.
Transfer Decals Make Ideal Wall Labels for Museums and Art Galleries
Rubdown custom lettering looks perfect on museum walls next to the artwork. They are superior to other methods both in terms of appearance and ease of application. For all situations where visual standards are exacting and subject to scrutiny, the peace of mind knowing that you're controlling content and appearance by creating the artwork is one of the significant advantages of custom dry transfers. It explains why museum and art gallery labels are among the fastest-growing uses for this technology — and why reactions and reviews have been so favorable for those projects already completed. The white-cube environment of galleries and many museum spaces place every detail in the spotlight, and it requires media that works perfectly every time and has a durable, precise look. Ordering is as easy as drag and drop art, choose the color, choose the shipping and get an instant receipt. The final product is usually shipped within 24 to 48 hours—with you receiving your artwork in the color you chose—ready to apply. Application is easy—just position and rub down transfer with a supplied burnisher.

Industrial Design Applications are Ideal for Custom Dry Transfer Lettering Decals
Custom rub down transfers are the gold standard for adding lettering, logos and any other graphic element to product prototypes, package design, and comps. They work equally well on items that are 3D printed or molded and are perfect for use as labels on jars, cans, bottles, and tubes. Recent clients also have included vintners who need elegant lettering and visual elements to customize their sample wine bottles. Even in the automotive and aircraft industries, dry transfer decals can be used to sample up a wide range of objects such as the faces of analog gauges and speedometers. Guitar makers add dry transfers to customize their instruments and give them a professional look. Dry transfer technology means the decal is fully customizable and will appear as if it was printed directly on nearly any plastic, glass, wood or metal object. Since the adhesive is only on the image area, after application, it will look like your artwork is printed right on the substrate you apply it to with no adhesive residue. The process is simple and straightforward to complete. You can count on an easy-to-apply decal with a finished result that looks outstanding.
