At GD Print, we have over 40 years of experience in high-quality decal printing and vinyl sticker printing, serving businesses across Bournemouth, Southampton, and the wider South Coast. Whether you need wall decals, custom vinyl stickers, or large-scale wall sticker printing, our expert team delivers durable, eye-catching solutions that stick—literally and figuratively.



What Is Large Format Brick Vinyl?

Large format brick vinyl is a durable, weather-resistant adhesive material designed for high-impact signage and advertising. Think of it as a giant, flexible vinyl sticker—strong enough to adhere to rough surfaces like brick, wood, glass, metal, and concrete, while still offering vibrant, full-colour graphics.


Perfect for outdoor wall decals, window decals, or temporary indoor wall stickers, brick vinyl combines flexibility with strength. It’s waterproof, UV-resistant, and suitable for long-term installations or short-term promotional use. Whether you’re applying graphics directly to brickwork or mounting onto a rigid surface, this type of vinyl sticker printing is ideal for businesses looking to stand out with bold, eye-catching displays.



Understanding Adhesive Types

Selecting the right adhesive is essential for a clean, long-lasting application—especially when working with vinyl stickers, wall decals, or custom window decals. Whether you’re applying graphics to glass, brick, or painted walls, the adhesive type affects not just how it sticks but how long it lasts. Here’s a breakdown of the most common adhesive types used in vinyl sticker printing and decal printing:


Static Cling Vinyl

    •    Best for: Smooth, non-porous surfaces like glass or metal

    •    Key feature: Clings using static electricity—no glue required

    •    Removability: Easy to remove and reposition, making it ideal for seasonal wall stickers or temporary window decals


Cast Vinyl (Self-Adhesive)

    •    Best for: Curved, rough, or textured surfaces like brick walls, vehicles, or stone

    •    Key feature: Ultra-flexible and conforms to complex shapes

    •    Lifespan: Long-lasting and durable—ideal for outdoor decals and campervan decals


Monomeric Adhesive Vinyl

    •    Best for: Flat indoor surfaces like signs or smooth walls

    •    Key feature: Affordable and easy to install

    •    Lifespan: Medium-term (up to 3 years), great for temporary stickers and wall stickers for bedroom use


Polymeric Adhesive Vinyl

    •    Best for: Longer-term applications on flat or gently curved surfaces

    •    Key feature: More flexible and durable than monomeric options

    •    Lifespan: Up to 5–7 years—perfect for custom vinyl stickers, nursery wall stickers, and permanent wall decals




When and Where to Use Brick Vinyl

Thanks to advances in vinyl sticker printing and decal printing technology, large format vinyl is now a go-to solution across a wide range of commercial and retail settings. Whether you’re planning a temporary promotion or a permanent installation, these versatile graphics work beautifully in both indoor and outdoor environments.


    •    Wall Graphics & Stickers

Ideal for wall decals, brick vinyl signage, murals, privacy screens, and branded displays in offices, showrooms, or retail stores.

    •    Window Decals

Use transparent window decals, one-way vision prints, or custom window stickers to attract customers while letting in natural light.

    •    Vehicle Wraps & Campervan Decals

From full vehicle wraps to fleet branding, cast vinyl decals deliver high durability and eye-catching designs for vans, cars, and campervans.

    •    Retail & Event Signage

Perfect for pop-up displays, trade show booths, and overlaminated wall stickers, combining bold graphics with long-term performance.


Whether you need nursery wall stickers, bedroom wall decals, or shop window vinyls, large format vinyl offers an adaptable, high-impact solution for every surface.
