Arch Deco Glass® fabricates glass with Surface Applied Vinyl. This is commonly used as a lower cost alternative to decorate glass with logo’s and to call attention to glass entryways to enhance safety.
The information below is from an Avery Graphics Product Data Bulletin which can be used to as a reference. Arch Deco Glass supplies Surface Applied Vinyl’s from other manufactures as well. Glass can be supplied with the vinyl attached at our factory or the vinyl can be supplied pre-cut and weeded for field installations.
