How to Know If Custom Arcade Graphics Will Work For You
Arcade cabinet decals are one of the simplest ways to bring nostalgic charm into your home, but first you need to decide if custom arcade graphics will work for you. Here’s what you should consider before making a decision.
Where To Buy Decals for a New DIY Project
All across town, there are specialty shops and traditional craft stores where you can find arcade cabinet decals. However, if you’re planning on doing a large project, it’s always helpful to buy in bulk. Decal Makers sell affordable kits in either two or four packs of classic arcade cabinet graphics. This means that there’s no need to shop around town—you can just purchase everything you need right at your local craft store!
What Material Should I Use?
Print arcade graphics are made from one of three main materials: paper, vinal, or plastic. Paper is a good choice if you plan on framing your finished product and hanging it on a wall. It’s also popular among companies looking to add color to their office space. Vinal is a durable option that offers a high-quality look while remaining cost effective. And lastly, plastic provides an easy way to get crisp detail and vibrant colors without sacrificing quality.
What Tools Do I Need?
Making your own custom bartop arcade cabinet or cocktail table arcade will probably require you to have a vector graphic editor like Adobe Illustrator and a vinyl-cutting machine. These can be expensive. Instead, try using readily available design tools to convert your arcade graphics into printable image files like .png (for standard prints) or .svg (for laser/cuttable materials). We’ve made it super simple for you to get started by providing our pre-made vector art in both formats—download them here.
My Unfinished Project, What Now?
A great strategy when you’re stuck on a project is to look at it from another angle. This can help you identify what’s holding you back and get unstuck.
How Do I Design My Own Decal?
There are a few different ways to design your own arcade cabinet graphics. If you’re looking to make some quick and dirty decals for custom-cut vinyl, there are plenty of free programs available online that can help you get started. The best one I’ve found is Caligo. It’s pretty straight forward, but also does a great job of being very user friendly.
What Can I Print On?
If you’re looking to create your own custom bartop arcade cabinet graphics, simply select What can I print on? at checkout and tell us about your creation in our order form. After you give us all of your information, one of our graphic designers will send over a sample graphic within 24 hours.
