Product Description

As an OEM water slide decal manufacturer, we print fully custom water-transfer decals for brands, importers, promo agencies and factories worldwide. From single-color logos to full-color photographic artwork with spot white and Pantone-matched colors, every job is produced in our own print facility - design review, plate-making, printing, varnishing, die-cutting and quality control all happen under one roof.

Clear base or white base - we print both

Choosing the right base is the single biggest factor in how your decals look on the finished product:

  • Clear (transparent) base for white or light-colored surfaces - the film virtually disappears and only your artwork shows.
  • White opaque base for colored, black or transparent surfaces - a white underprint keeps colors vivid and true.
  • Spot white can be printed behind selected elements only, so one sheet can combine white-backed and clear-backed decals.

The ultra-thin carrier film conforms to curves, recessed panel lines and compound shapes, then disappears under clear coat for a painted-on, professional finish.

Materials, inks and compliance

Decals are printed on premium waterslide film with CMYK plus spot white and optional varnish or specialty effects. RoHS- and EN71-compliant ink options are available for toys, kids' products and markets that require documentation. We support gloss and matte finishes, custom die-cut sheets, individual logo cuts and full-wrap designs.

Typical applications include plastics and ABS parts, metals, wood, helmets, baseball bats and other sporting goods, consumer electronics, cosmetics packaging, drinkware, toys and promotional giveaways.

How custom orders work

  1. Quote within 24 hours - send artwork, sheet size, quantities and target surface.
  2. Free prepress review - our team checks dimensions, resolution, registration and white areas.
  3. Digital proof and physical sample - samples typically take 5-7 days, and samples are confirmed before mass production.
  4. Production - most bulk runs ship in 7-15 days depending on process and quantity; digital printing supports fast short runs, while offset printing gives the sharpest unit price at volume.
  5. Export shipping - experienced with courier, air and sea freight documentation worldwide.

MOQs are flexible and small runs are welcome - ideal for testing a new product line before scaling up. Send AI, EPS, PDF or high-resolution image files; if your artwork needs adjustment, our designers can help set it up for print.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MOQ for custom water slide decals?

MOQs are flexible and small runs are welcome. Digital printing makes short pilot runs economical, while offset printing offers the best unit price for large repeat orders. Tell us your quantity and sheet size and we will recommend the most cost-effective process.

How long do samples and bulk production take?

Physical samples typically take 5-7 days after artwork approval, and bulk production usually runs 7-15 days depending on quantity, printing process and finishing. Exact timing is confirmed on your quotation; rush jobs can sometimes be scheduled - please ask before ordering.

Should I choose clear or white base decals?

Use clear base on white or light surfaces where only the artwork should be visible. Use white base, or spot white behind selected elements, on dark, colored or transparent surfaces - printed inks are semi-transparent and need a white layer to stay vivid.

What artwork file format do you need?

Vector files in AI, EPS or PDF are preferred, with fonts outlined and Pantone colors specified where matching matters. High-resolution flattened artwork (300+ DPI at print size) also works. Our prepress team reviews every file free of charge before production.

Are the decals compliant with RoHS, EN71 or REACH requirements?

Compliant ink options are available for RoHS and EN71 toy-safety requirements, and we can support REACH-related documentation for suitable material combinations. Tell us your target market and compliance needs at the quote stage so we produce on the correct material.

How are the decals applied and protected?

Cut out the decal, soak it in water, slide it onto a clean surface and position it. Once fully dry, clear-coat over it with your chosen lacquer or enamel - the film edge disappears and the decal becomes a permanent, durable part of the product.
