Renowned Museums Use Transfers Decals for Their Wall Labels

As visitors are viewing artworks, museum wall labels captioning the work are essential. Their role in improving the experience can't be underestimated. It's why museum professionals today are in search of the highest quality types of wall captions. Increasingly, custom dry transfers are one of the methods quickly gaining favor. They produce an exceptionally high level of readability and elegance with a simple one-step application. If you aren't yet aware of rub-on decals, they deserve your attention. They apply easily on walls, display cases, pedestals – any clean surface that is dry and smooth.

Custom dry transfer wall labels for museums achieve a perfect final appearance that's compatible with the artwork being described. When asked, many viewers assume they were painted of printed directly onto the wall – they look that good. Their flawless appearance complements and never detracts from the works of art. Also, because captions appear throughout an exhibit, they need to be clear and easily readable to avoid frustrating visitors. If they're difficult to read, it's an instant annoyance that will affect visitors and critics alike. Anyone who has ever struggled to read a wall caption will tell you so right away.

The most frequently used color is black printing on a white painted wall. But dry transfer wall labels look equally good in a reverse type effect where white lettering is used on a darker wall. Whichever you choose, it is a high contrast design that works well only with lettering of superior clarity and quality. It's also easy to order transfer decals because they're made directly from your digital files, which helps remove any guesswork. The wall labels you receive back are precisely the text and format you submitted, which guarantees they will look as you planned. It's added peace of mind when you're on a deadline.

One-step application is another outstanding feature of dry transfer decals. All you need to do is place the transfer sheet in the correct position for the wall label, and rub it on. If you've had experience with Letraset lettering, it is a similar process but even easier. The final appearance is much more precise that the look of stick-on vinyl lettering and better than cards that are laser printed. Transfer decals are made with a unique adhesive-backed lacquer ink that easily rubs off the transfer paper onto clean, smooth surfaces. The quality level is consistent and dependable, with delivery as fast as 24 to 48 hours.
