Build quality
Built better than a sticker.
Handcrafted in Portland on outdoor-grade cast vinyl, sealed under UV laminate, and made in small batches — so the art stays sharp and stuck for years, not one rainy week.

Decal, not a sticker
Why ours actually hold up.
"Sticker" and "decal" aren't the same thing — and the difference is the whole point.
PDX Decal
- Premium outdoor-grade cast vinyl
- UV-laminated — holds color 5–7 years
- Waterproof, eco-friendly inks
- Precision contour-cut to the art
- Clean on, clean off — no residue
- Handcrafted, unique, limited runs
Every design is handcrafted, unique, and limited — once a drop's gone, it's gone. The exceptions are our Bedrock staples (like PDX Sasquatch) we keep in the lineup for good.
Outdoor-grade cast vinyl
Printed on premium cast vinyl (Oracal 3651/3951) — made for bottles, cars, laptops, coolers, bikes, and daily carry. Rain, sun, scratches, and normal wear are part of the job.
UV laminate · 5–7 year life
Sealed under an outdoor UV laminate (Oraguard 210/215) rated for a 5–7 year outdoor lifespan — it defends the art from fading, scuffs, water, and everyday handling.
Waterproof, eco-friendly inks
Printed with waterproof, eco-friendly inks — vivid color that won't run in the rain, and easier on the planet than solvent-heavy sticker printing.
Tested in real weather
Portland rain, road grime, cold mornings, and sunny windows are the test bench. If it cannot handle daily use, it does not belong in the run.
Install and care
Apply to a clean, dry surface. Press from the center out, wait before washing, and avoid harsh solvents around the decal edge.
Premium finishes.
Every decal is a premium build — think glossy laminate, holographic, prismatic, metallic, glow, foil, epoxy, color-shift, and chrome. We don't make basic flat-matte stickers. Here's what we run most:
Foil
Mirror-bright metallic that catches every light — the Rose City signature.
Holographic
A prismatic rainbow shift as it moves. PDX Sasquatch in the sun is a whole event.
Matte
Premium durable matte — scratch-tough and UV-stable, not a basic flat sticker. Easy on, easy off, no sticky residue.
1-year replacement promise
If your decal cracks, peels, or noticeably fades within one year under normal use, email hello@pdxdecal.com and we will make it right.
