How to Apply Lacrosse Back Name Strip Decals – Step-by-Step Guide

Applying decals correctly ensures a professional look and long-lasting durability. Follow these steps carefully for the best results.

Before You Begin: Proper Storage

• Store decals in a cool, air-conditioned place to maintain adhesive strength.
• Prevent curling by placing decals upside down and setting a flat, heavy object on top.

Application Steps

1. Clean the helmet thoroughly using mild soap and warm water to remove residue, dirt, oils, and debris. Let the helmet dry completely before applying decals. Proper cleaning helps ensure strong adhesion and prevents peeling.
2. Apply the back name strip by centering it horizontally on the rear of the helmet. Use vent lines or molded shell details as guides to keep the strip straight and level.
3. Starting at one end, press firmly and smooth across to the opposite end using even pressure to prevent bubbles or lifting along the edges.
4. Final Touches & Care Tips
   • Double-check all edges to ensure they are firmly pressed down.
   • Allow the decal to set for several hours before using the helmet.
   • Avoid excessive heat, such as storing helmets in hot cars, as it can weaken the adhesive.
   • When cleaning, use mild soap and warm water—avoid harsh scrubbing around the decals to prevent peeling.

By following these steps, your lacrosse helmets will have a clean, professional finish, helping your team look game-ready every time they take the field.
