Question 1

I see some bubbles in the artwork of my rented machine

admin · Accepted Answer

When you rent a machine, static decal material has to be applied for your custom artwork. This is the only material solution that allows the supplier to personalize the machine for your event while still protecting original panels and machine parts underneath. Permanent vinyl will damage the machine when removed, so it is not an option for short term rentals.

Will there be bubbles in the decals?
Static decals are thick and removable, they work with little suction cups to adhere to material. They react to changes in temperature and humidity. When a machine is moved from outside to inside, or when temperature or humidity changes at events (often during startup in the morning ) , some bubbles may appear during the first few days. If your artwork has a lot of cutouts, bubbles may appear sooner or more often. This is normal and unavoidable for this type of material and does not indicate a defect.

How can I remove the bubbles?
You can remove most bubbling by simple using your fingers to work bubbles towards the edges of the decals. A soft squeegee is often also provided with your rental machine. Simply use it to gently push any bubbles toward the edge of the decal. For short tradeshows and multi-day events, we recommend doing this once in the morning as part of your setup routine.

Can I get decals without bubbles at all?
Static decals are the only removable option for rentals, and occasional bubbling is simply part of the material’s nature. If a flawless, long-term finish is essential, the only solution is to purchase the machine. Purchased machines are decorated with high-tack, 10-year endurance decals. These adhere permanently, never bubble, and look exactly like factory graphics. However, they cannot be removed without damaging the artwork underneath—this is why they are not available for rentals.
