Applying preprinted designs or images to ceramics with a ceramic decal

A ceramic decal is a pre-printed image or design that is applied to ceramic dinnerware, ornamental ware and tiles, and glass containers using a transfer technique. Colored patterns that can be added to glazed work to add designs are known as decals. A decal is a decorative sticker with three layers: paper on the back, the decal itself, and paper on the front. It can be moved from one surface to another. Stickers/labels are often smaller in size and are used on smaller items. Decals, on the other hand, are bigger and go on bigger things. Most decals contain a strong adhesive that allows them to stick to surfaces for extended periods of time. Ceramic Decals are manufactured with a unique water slide and heat release paper that transfers images from paper to ceramics or glass. Ceramic decals can be used on a variety of materials, including candles, soap, pebbles, painted surfaces, wood, metal, and plastic.

A decal is a type of transfer that is used to apply personalised designs or graphics to a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, ceramic, and even glass. After that, the design is imprinted on the surface using heat or pressing. Ceramic decals are known for their durability, making them a perfect choice for both residential and commercial applications. The main benefit of employing these decals over other materials is that they have an infinite number of designs and possibilities and can be applied by almost anyone, regardless of their skill level. Ceramic decals are applied to ceramic tiles, decorative ware, and even glass containers to apply designs or printed pictures. The top layer, or real image layer, contains the original ornamental pattern; a protective layer, which can include a low-melting, anti-glare clear coating; and a backdrop layer, which helps to achieve a smooth, matte surface.
