A type of computer graphics file. Vector images, also called object-oriented or draw images, are defined mathematically as a series of points joined by lines. Vector images are composed of lines or line based objects rather than dots as in a bitmap image. Unlike bitmap images, Vector images can be easily edited, modified or scaled, and are the preferred types of images for most manufacturing processes. Examples of Vector images are created by such programs as Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator.
See Bitmap Image and Art & Design/File Conversion.

Polyvinyl chloride (or Vinyl) is the most common plastic in use in the world. PVC is extruded or cast as sheet or film goods. These substrates are available in a variety of colors and thicknesses and are weather and chemical resistant. Vinyl film is typically backed with an adhesive that will create a strong bond when pressure is applied.
See types of Vinyl Film on our Materials Reference Chart.

When producing pre-spaced vinyl letters and graphics, a sheet of vinyl is first kiss cut using a plotter. The next step, weeding, is the process of peeling away extraneous vinyl from the liner leaving only the sections representing the final image(s).
