The Twelfth Major Zurich Axiom: On Preparation

disagreements} that could lead to legal action being taken against your firm.

Company Administration.

If informal agreements and voluntary company agreements are not possible,you could consider entering into company administration. In these instances,you hand over all the dealings of your firm to an administrator who takes charge of the company to restore its ability to trade. They could well restructure the business or realise some assets to pay any secured creditors. Once you hand the operation to an insolvency practitioner,the creditors are not allowed to make any legal action to get back their monies,without the court’s permission. However,the practitioner will have to be sure that the company will produce better results when put under administration.

Myth One

Myth:Wall decals are stickers

Reality:No. A “true” wall decal is cut from vinyl. Vinyl is a synthetic material that appears like a thin plastic,but it is not plastic. A decal will have a backing paper and a low tack application tape on the front. It will be very thin so it appears hand painted.

Vinyls are self adhesive,much thinner than a sticker,and are able to withstand heat which can be used to ensure it sticks properly to the surface. A sticker would just bubble,but vinyl likes the heat and will contour to the surface.

Stickers are on a sheet,and you peel up the corner of the design and pull it off the backing paper and then stick onto another surface. Basically a sticker is a print onto paper which has adhesive. Sometimes this paper is glossy,sometimes it is plastic coated etc. They can be made of vinyl,but are much thicker and don’t look like they are hand painted. Generally stickers look cheaper and more temporary than a true decal.

Myth Two

Myth:Decals are only for walls

Reality:No. In fact,decals are best applied to the hardest,flattest surface possible. They love drywall,glass,formica,painted wood,steel,plastic. Can be applied to painted plaster,(might require heat to assist in application),and absolutely does not work with stucco and brick surfaces.

In reality,decals and surface graphics can be applied to any surfaces that you imagine as long as they fit with the above. Try applying decals to a ceiling! A floor! A fridge! A filing cabinet! A reception desk! Decals and surface graphics work on many surfaces.

Myth Three

Myth:Wall decals and surface graphics are as easy as PEEL AND STICK.

Reality:No. This is not true. Wall decals come with a backing paper and a low tack application tape. These are used to assist in applying the pre-spaced letters and designs to the surface. You need to follow the instructions,work slowly and often require two sets of hands to complete the application. However,once applied they are absolutely worth the effort!!!!

Myth Four

Myth:Surface graphics ruin the paint.

Reality:Mmmmm. Always a hard one when it comes to paint. If your paint is poorly applied or old,anything will ruin it,not just decals. Bubbling paint will lift simply by running your hand over it,so never mind having something stuck to it.

We always recommend using heat to remove the decals or surface graphics. Heat will loosen the adhesive and make removing the vinyl a simpler task. If you paint was good to start with,it will survive having a surface graphic placed on it.

Myth Five

Myth:Decals can only be used inside.

Reality:Decals and surface graphics can be used inside and outside. The rule is that decals won’t stick to rough surfaces,so if you are trying to apply to a rough surface outside,no,it probably won’t stick. But,if you are sticking the decal to the outside of a garden shed,or applying the decal to an outdoor patio as a feature,then absolutely it work. Exposure to UV,rain and other environmental elements will be okay for the vinyl for up to 7 years (depending on the level of exposure).

Myth Six

Myth:Wall decals are reposition-able.

Reality:No. They are not. Many companies claim they are,but the fine print is they accept no responsibility if they don’t. Very convenient for those companies. You have already paid your money for something you think will restick and then it doesn’t.

Decals are made of self adhesive vinyl. Good decals are made of ultra thin vinyl. So if you can imagine lifting a very thin sticker off a hard surface,it will most certainly be damaged where a) you have picked at the corner to lift it and b) where it stretches as it is lifted away from the hard surface. Plus,some of the adhesive is left on the surface,so the next time you apply the stretched,damaged decal,it won’t stick for very long.

The team at Cool Art Vinyl know their stuff. When purchasing wall decals or surface graphics,think of it as a single application purchase and you won’t be disappointed.

Myth Seven

Myth:Decals look like hand painted murals and designs on the surface.

Reality:Right On! Well-made,good quality decals are absolutely fantastic as a decorating item. Generally they are low cost and beat the price of someone hand painting or doing calligraphy on the wall. We regularly do comparison quotes against painters and our prices are a third if not a half of the competition.-

A document shredding machine is a piece of equipment used to shred paper into fine pieces or strips. Most businesses, government agencies, and private people also use document shredders to do high security shredding,CPNI standard,private,sensitive,or otherwise private document shredding. The original paper that you choose will affect how quickly the documents will be shredded. You can get a machine that will shred paper as quickly as possible or one that may take longer depending on the type of paper. If you are using paper for your document shredding needs you need to decide which type of paper you need to purchase and how many pages you would like the machine to shred. There is nothing worse than finding yourself in the emergency room with a very large stack of shredded papers.

One type of paper that can easily be purchased for document shredding is cardstock. This type of paper will make your job a lot easier because it is very absorbent. This is great because if there is a fire or other disaster and you need to store the paper for emergency purposes,the paper will be safe,it will not go up in smoke or get wet. If you choose a paper that is more absorbent and easy to manage,you may find that you need more paper than you anticipated. If this happens,you can always have a more appropriate machine in the back of the truck to take care of the extra paper. Paper that is more absorbent will cost more but you should make sure that you have enough before buying the paper. The same goes for a paper that will take longer to shred.

An important factor when purchasing paper for your document shredding needs is its durability. You want paper that will stand up to the abuse that is put on it during your document shredding. Paper that will last longer should not be an issue if you choose a durable paper type. You also want to make sure that you have the machine in the back of your truck to ensure that you do not need to travel to get your paper. Make sure that you choose a paper that will meet all of your requirements for document shredding.
