Custom Window Graphics in Evansville, IN

Frequently Asked Questions About Window Graphics & Window Clings

​

Where can I get custom window graphics made in Evansville, Indiana?

JVA Prints & Signs creates custom window graphics, window decals, perforated window vinyl, and window clings in Evansville, Indiana. We produce graphics for storefronts, offices, restaurants, retail locations, vehicles, events, and other commercial applications.

​

What is the difference between a window cling and a window decal?

A window cling typically attaches to glass without permanent adhesive and is often used for temporary promotions, seasonal messages, store hours, or reusable displays. A window decal normally uses adhesive vinyl and is better suited for longer-term applications. JVA Prints & Signs can help determine which option is best based on how long the graphic will be displayed and where it will be installed.

​

What is perforated window vinyl?

Perforated window vinyl, often called window perf, is a printed material with small holes throughout the surface. It allows a full-color graphic to be visible from the outside while still allowing people inside to see through much of the window.

​

Can you see through perforated window graphics from inside?

Yes. Perforated window vinyl is designed so people inside can usually see through the window while the printed graphic is visible from outside. Visibility depends on lighting conditions, the perforation pattern, and whether laminate is used.

​

Can window graphics provide privacy?

Yes. Certain window graphics can provide partial or full visual privacy. Frosted vinyl can create an etched-glass appearance while reducing visibility through the glass, and printed or solid window graphics can cover larger portions of a window. Perforated vinyl provides advertising coverage while still allowing some visibility from inside.

​

What is the difference between inside-glass and outside-glass window graphics?

Inside-glass graphics are installed on the interior side of the window and viewed through the glass. Outside-glass graphics are applied directly to the exterior surface. The best option depends on the type of material, glass tint, visibility, weather exposure, and the appearance you want.

​

Can you make window graphics that are installed inside but read correctly from outside?

Yes. Certain graphics can be produced in reverse or configured specifically for inside-glass installation so the design reads correctly when viewed from outside. We can recommend the appropriate printing and material setup for your window.

​

Are window graphics good for storefront advertising?

Yes. Window graphics are an effective way to use existing glass space for branding, promotions, store hours, products, seasonal advertising, logos, contact information, or privacy. They can transform a plain storefront window into a large advertising surface without installing a traditional sign.

​

Can JVA Prints & Signs create custom storefront window graphics?

Yes. We can create custom storefront graphics using your logo, colors, products, photos, promotional messages, business hours, and other branding elements. We can also help prepare the design if you do not already have print-ready artwork.

​

Can you print store hours and business information for a glass door?

Yes. JVA Prints & Signs can produce custom vinyl lettering and graphics for business hours, logos, phone numbers, websites, social media information, entrance doors, and other glass surfaces.

​

Are window clings good for temporary or seasonal promotions?

Yes. Window clings are a good option for temporary advertising, seasonal promotions, sales, holiday messages, special events, and other graphics that may need to be removed or changed more frequently than permanent adhesive vinyl.

​

What is frosted window vinyl used for?

Frosted window vinyl is commonly used for offices, conference rooms, clinics, reception areas, glass doors, and other spaces where additional privacy is desired. It creates the appearance of etched or frosted glass and can also be customized with logos, patterns, lettering, or cut designs.

​

Should window graphics be laminated?

Laminate can help protect printed window graphics from scratching, cleaning, sunlight, moisture, and general wear. Whether laminate is recommended depends on the type of material, how long the graphic will be installed, and whether it will be exposed to outdoor conditions.

​

Can you install window graphics in Evansville and the surrounding area?

Yes. Installation is available for many window graphic projects in Evansville and the surrounding Tri-State area. For an accurate quote, we may need the approximate dimensions, photos of the windows, installation location, and information about the type of glass.

​

How do I measure a window for custom graphics?

Measure the visible width and height of each glass panel and note any frames, handles, dividers, locks, or other obstacles. Photos of the window are also helpful. For larger or more complex installations, JVA Prints & Signs can help confirm measurements before production.

​

What information should I send to get a quote for window graphics?

Send the approximate window dimensions, number of windows, photos of the installation area, the type of graphic you want, whether the project is temporary or long-term, and whether installation is needed. If you already have a logo or design, you can send that as well. If you are unsure which material you need, we can recommend an option based on your project.
