Making Your Custom Laptop Skin, Laptop Stickers, and Laptop Decals Fit

This blog entry is to help people who either 1) want a fully covered laptop skin look 2) ordered a laptop skin that is too big for their laptop or 3) wants to turn a large sticview into a custom laptop skin, laptop stickers or laptop decals. Sometimes we make mistakes, and sometimes you might accidentally enter in the wrong dimensions when ordering a custom laptop skin from sticviews.com. When this happens, there is an easy remedy for trimming your sticview to fit your laptop exactly. You might also decide to order a sticview for one purpose (a poster, perhaps) and decide later that you want to stic it on something else other than what you originally intended. Because sticviews stic on anything and come off clean, it would be entirely possible to turn sticviews window stickers into laptop skins!

Below, we have put together a series of images and instructions on how to trim to fit a laptop:

(A boring looking laptop and a custom laptop skin that’s over sized.)
Step 1: Apply the sticviews laptop skin like you would normally.
Align the center of the laptop skin to the center of the laptop
(check our previous blog article for specific instructions, or watch our video tutorial).

(See how the laptop skin extends beyond the length of the laptop?)

Step 3: Gently tug and peel the excess
If you want to be perfect, continue to use the ruler – place the ruler down on top of the parts of the skin you want to keep, and peel the excess along the edge of the ruler.

(The final product. See how we cut it to fit around corners?)
