Office Frost Vinyl Jobs - Transfer and Pricing

[Tint World E Ft]

So we've recently done a frost vinyl job in an office where we designed a pattern, cut it out on a plotter and installed it - Haven't done too many of these and although the job came out great the process seemed very slow and frustrating.

 

The full pattern was 60" wide - 30" strip in the center with 9 1-2" strips on top and bottom going horizontally. The pattern was weeded and installed using a medium tack transfer tape. The transfer tape was difficult to remove and our strips took a while to align and finish.

 

We already have a referral as a result but I'm looking for some insight on how we can improve our technique - The first thing that comes to mind is a low tack transfer tape - will that help?

 

What are you guys getting on these types of job per sq ft? Do you charge a separate setup fee for design and prep or do you integrate that into the price?

 

 

Appreciate any input! Thanks in advance!

I would have just cut them individually and hung them 1 by 1.. probably 3 hours of work.

Do what Tom said. Specifically, have your film supplier slit the rolls down to the exact band widths you need. In your case 30" & 9 1/2". I'd also have them slit some material that can be used as a spacer for the clear gaps (1/2", 1", 5 1/2". etc.) Level and install the middle band all the way across and then use the spacers(reusable) to set the top and bottom bands.

 

We custom slit for customers all he time. We have free spacer material that can be used as well.
