Designer Decal Inc.

The state insures Designer Decal's workers under classes for sign painting and lettering inside and outside buildings, plus printing and engraving, which lines up with what the shop advertises: design, production and installation of signs and graphics. Public-works filings run from 2015 to 2025 for agencies including Spokane School District 81, Douglas County PUD and the Spokane Public Facilities District. The crew sits in the 11 to 20 worker band. The shop names 3M materials and lists PDAA and UASG, two decal application groups. It describes itself as family-run, veteran- and woman-owned and second-generation. The state lists Gary Orne as a principal since 2017. The work leans commercial. Fleet wraps are a big piece of it: box trucks, trailers, vans, service trucks and emergency vehicles, with claimed wrap guarantees of three to five years on cars and vans and five to seven on trailers and box trucks. Parking signs, ANSI safety signs, point-of-purchase displays and wall wraps round out the list. Businesses branding a fleet and facility managers outfitting a building fit well here. Residential jobs like home window tinting fall outside that focus. Before a wrap or sign job starts, pin down the scope in writing: which vehicles or walls, which panels get covered, and who handles the design proof. Ask how the shop wants vehicles delivered, since Spokane winters leave trucks caked in road grime and wraps need clean surfaces. Find out how revisions after proof approval are handled and whether they change the price. For signs, ask who removes old signage and patches mounting holes. And get the warranty terms spelled out: what counts as film failure, and whether pressure washing or fading is covered.
