A vinyl installation process where a cut vinyl image, the carrier liner, and the transfer tape are placed on the target surface; a piece of masking tape is then attached to the top edge of the transfer tape. The liner is then slowly rolled off from the top edge and then the transfer tape (and vinyl image) are slowly smoothed onto the surface. A variation of this is to leave an exposed strip of transfer tape above the top edge of the liner, instead of separate piece of masking tape, to act as a hinge.

Procedure where a strip of tape (Filmoplast) folded and attached to the artwork and then to the backing board or mat board. As a rule you want to use a tape that is weaker than the artwork so that if the artwork is pulled the tape will tear, not the artwork.

Vinyl installation process where a cut vinyl image, the carrier liner, and the transfer tape are placed on the target surface; a piece of masking tape is then attached to the top edge of the transfer tape. The liner is then slowly rolled off from the top edge, and the transfer tape (and vinyl image attached to it) are slowly smoothed onto the surface. A variation of this is to hinge the graphics in the middle, lift one side of the transfer tape, cut the paper liner on that side, and smooth that side of transfer tape and vinyl onto the surface. Then repeat for other side.

Hinge placement on a window or door.
