Why Short Run Labels and Decals Are a Game-Changer for Specialty Projects
Not every project requires mass productionâand thatâs where short run decals and labels shine. Whether you’re running a small business, outfitting a fleet of service vehicles, or customizing equipment with limited-use graphics, Florida Applied Films specializes in high-quality, low-quantity decal production that delivers professional results without the bulk order requirement.
What Are Short Run Labels and Decals?
Short run refers to small-batch productionâtypically between 10 to 500 piecesâof custom vinyl graphics, identification stickers, or branded labels. These are perfect for businesses, hobbyists, and individuals who need precise, durable, and fast-turnaround printing without committing to thousands of units.

Client Example
A local fabrication company needed 25 part-numbered badges for a custom metal job. We delivered gloss black decals with silver lettering and clear lamination, all numbered sequentially. A food truck owner requested just 30 promotional logo decals for a local festivalâdelivered and installed within 48 hours.
