Recent Purchase was good. but a few issues

21 Sept 2026 | Tim M. |

I've had some compliments about the signage. Unfortunately the Window Decal was a failure. Following the instructions i put too much water on the window and the water spots made me panic and 20 minutes later a decision had to be made that the whole decal was unsalvable. so that sucked. Also my private business card has bleeding issues and the alignment of the dot in the bar that goes through the middle did not line up with the letter 'i'. so that was a fail. kind of annoyed about all of that. but the corflute is up and looks good

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thank you for your review submission. We are sorry you had issues applying the window decal to the window which caused the decal to become damaged. We are also sorry to hear that there were bleed and alignment issues with the business cards. While we are unable to make things right with the decal, we are happy to look into the printing issue with the business cards. Please reply to this email with a photo displaying the bleed and alignment issues, so we can process a replacement or explore other suitable options. We look forward to your response.

We don’t recommend doing so. While our custom window decals can be
repositioned easily, transporting and storing them for events can lead to
dust and debris, which causes bubbling.

To create a completely clear background, it’s important to ensure there are no artwork components featured within that section. If you add artwork or design elements to the background, the surrounding areas will include white ink – meaning it won’t come out completely clear.
