Clean the surface with an alcohol wipe and dry thoroughly. Dry-fit the skin to check alignment, then peel a small portion of backing and align the edge or cutouts. Smooth the exposed adhesive down, peel more backing gradually while smoothing out air bubbles with a soft card or cloth. Use a hairdryer on low heat for tricky curves or edges, then press firmly. For cards, align the magnetic strip/IC area carefully so it doesn’t interfere with functionality.

Lifespan depends on use and conditions. With normal handling, a skin typically lasts 1–3 years before edges show wear or the print fades. High-friction pockets, frequent bending, or exposure to oils/solvents shorten life. We use durable vinyl and UV-resistant inks for longer life, but warranty covers manufacturing defects rather than normal wear.

Wipe gently with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water or isopropyl alcohol for tougher smudges. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or rough scrubbing which can damage the print or finish. For textured or matte skins, use light pressure to avoid lifting edges. Dry with a lint-free cloth.
