-If you have ever purchased a graphic kit or are thinking about it, feel free to read about the different options available in the vinyl decal world.
I've heard a lot of complaints about overpriced wraps. I think this could open the custom graphics world to more people.
Thanks for taking the time to read,

Option 1- Budget Level- Intermediate Vinyl with Intermediate Laminate. This material is only intended to last for 2-3 years outdoors (UV's from the sun is what kills the digital graphics that our solvent machine prints) It does have an air release liner that allows the air to escape so it can be installed bubble free, even by a decal virgin
Compared to the next two options, the adhesive is less tacky and the material shrinks more when exposed to temperature changes (hot trailer to cold ride) Start here if you need to save money and look good.
Option 2- Hi-Performance level- Hi-performance 3M Vinyl with High Performance 3M laminate. Same material we use for vehicle wraps. 5-7 year life. Air Release liner with repositionable adhesive = can be placed lightly over and over without it sticking on ya. Once you have it in the right place squeegee it down and all the air escapes leaving a bubble free graphic! Great all around product - we use it for race sled number plates and it has held up great for multiple seasons. (this is the material that all of our kits are currently made with) Easiest to install!
Option 3- Extreme level- Thicker High Performance material with thicker High Performance laminate and a crazy aggressive adhesive. 5-7 year durability. Wherever it touches, it is stuck. Take care and time when installing to work the air out. Once installed you've got a kit that will withstand some serious abuse. Most expensive and longest lasting option due to the adhesive and the thick laminate. Trickiest to install because of the tackiness.
Is there a need for three levels? We think so, let us know what you think and poll which option you would buy. Thanks again.
