Hinge Method Made Easy

Making the Cut – The Hinge Method

First, roll back enough liner paper to insert both guards of the knife. Then insert the knife and make an edge-to-edge cut where you want a hinge.

If you use material with an air-egress liner, the liner over the hinge will fall off easily after making the cut. Simply add a piece of tape wider than your cut to both sides of the hinge. Now you can safely transport the graphic to the application site.

Installation

Position the graphic with tape and then remove the liner hinge. Add a small amount of tension below the hinge to prevent it from pre-tacking. Now, install the hinge.

Next, remove the top piece of liner and begin the installation. Then roll back approximately 10 inches of the remaining liner. Complete the application.

Once across, two slices, and you’ve got the perfect hinge.

The hinge method is perfect for installing on flat substrates, vehicles, and more.
