Custom Holographic Transfer Decals

Our holographic vinyl transfer decals are rated for up to 5 years of outdoor use. The material is durable, weather-resistant, and designed to maintain its vibrant, reflective appearance in a range of conditions.

Yes, you can get your full-color design printed on holographic stickers. This allows your design to stand out with the eye-catching, reflective quality of holographic material, adding a unique and vibrant touch to your stickers.

Holographic stickers typically last 6 months to a year, offering a brilliant and eye-catching display during that time.

Unlike standard color vinyls, holographic vinyl reflects light in a rainbow spectrum that shifts with viewing angle. It adds motion, shine, and visual interest to your design—perfect for custom lettering, logos, or graphics that need to stand out.

No, holographic transfer decals are cut from the vinyl itself and applied with transfer tape. This means your design has no background—only the letters or shapes you choose—giving a clean, professional finish once installed.

No, this material does not include an additional laminate layer. The reflective effect is built into the surface of the vinyl itself, which offers natural shine and durability without lamination.

Holographic vinyl works best on smooth, clean surfaces like glass, painted metal, plastic, or sealed wood. It's commonly used on windows, laptops, vehicles, and display cases for an eye-catching, premium look.

At Carstickers.com, we measure and price all our stickers based on square inches. To calculate the square inches of a sticker, simply multiply the width by the height. For example, a sticker that is 4'W x 4'H (4 inches wide and 4 inches high) and a sticker that is 2'W x 8'H (2 inches wide and 8 inches high) will cost the same because both are 16 square inches.

These measurements are based on the widest and tallest areas of the sticker's shape, measured from left to right and top to bottom in a straight line.

Please note: The measurements are taken when the design is upright and in the same position as it will be applied. This ensures that the sticker you order will fit in the intended space. For example, while a diamond-shaped sticker could theoretically be rotated 45 degrees and measured as a square, a 3'x3' diamond and a 3'x3' square rotated 45 degrees are not the same size and will not fit in the same space.

Transfer tape, also known as application tape, is a clear plastic film used to make applying stickers easier. It allows the installer to see exactly where they are placing the sticker on the substrate, which is the material or surface the sticker is being applied to, such as a window, car door, or plastic sign.

At Carstickers.com, we use high-quality clear plastic transfer tape for our transfer stickers. This clear tape is perfect for cut-out stickers with multiple parts, as it maintains the positions of all the letters and artwork in your design, ensuring precise placement.

Our clear transfer tape is made from non-porous plastic, which is why it's important to apply the stickers on a clean and dry surface. The transparency of the tape allows for easy placement, as the surface beneath, such as a car windshield or laptop, remains visible during application.

Here's a step-by-step process of how we produce transfer stickers:

Step 1

After selecting one of our premium graphics, uploading your own design, or creating something new using our custom sticker maker, you'll choose the color and size of your transfer sticker.

Step 2

Our Graphic Design team then prepares the design for processing, ensuring it will look great when printed and cut.

Step 3

Our skilled processing team runs a sheet of your selected vinyl color through a plotter, a machine that cuts the vinyl to match your design's shape.

Step 4

Once the graphic is cut, our team carefully weeds the excess vinyl using specialized tools. Weeding involves removing the small pieces of vinyl from the spaces between letters or intricate designs, called picks. For more information on picks, visit our Counting Picks on a Transfer Stage page.

Step 5

After weeding, we apply our high-quality clear plastic transfer tape over the graphic, sandwiching the sticker between the vinyl backing and the transfer tape. The sticker is then cut to the specified dimensions and is ready for application.

Holographic transfer decals are made from our specialty holographic vinyl for transfer decals, a 3.0 mil thick film with a shimmering, rainbow-reflective finish. This material is ideal for designs that need a unique, color-shifting look with no background.
