What they needed
National Tiger Sanctuary, a nonprofit wildlife rescue near Branson, wanted durable decals of their animals to sell in the gift shop. Their photographer creates the artwork, so the files were high-resolution images rather than vector art, and they wanted to see a sample before ordering in quantity.
What we did
- Recommended permanent gloss vinyl with a UV and weather laminate, rated for about five years outdoors, so the decals hold up on vehicles, coolers and water bottles.
- Prepared the artwork for die cutting: drew the cut line around the design, cleaned up stray specks that would otherwise be cut out, and added a bleed to smooth tight areas like the tiger's ear fur.
- Sent a digital proof showing the cut line, then printed a sample of their patriotic tiger design so the team could see and feel it in person.
- Offered a nonprofit discount on larger quantities.
The result
The sanctuary got print-ready, die-cut decals of its own photography and a real sample in hand before deciding on designs and quantities for the shop.
