Transform your stairs with full-color, digitally produced stair decals! Decals for stairs adhere to the face of the stair and provide a unique branding or sponsor signage opportunity in an unconventional but high-traffic area.
AMI Graphics’ stair riser decals are made from a proprietary material designed to stand up to wear and tear. The material is also designed to withstand temperature changes, allowing stair riser decals to be placed in areas such as an ice arena.
Stair riser decals are perfect for stairways leading into your facility or within the facility itself. In arena settings, fans will be able to see your stair decals whether they’re at the game or watching from home.
Stair decals can be designed for a repeating message or logo on each step, which is common for smaller staircases or staircases in the seating bowls of arenas. Stair riser decals can also be printed in smaller images so they combine into a single visually stunning image, which is typical for larger staircases or staircases in lobbies.
For colleges and universities, stair riser decals present a fresh and exciting way to breathe life into underused areas, turning them into eye-catching visual displays. In athletic facilities or academic buildings, our decals serve both practical and aesthetic purposes, blending directional signs with branding, recognition, and/or a touch of artistic expression.

Stair riser decals are a fantastic way to show team spirit, promote sponsors, or celebrate achievements. A particularly smart spot for these decals is the stairs right behind the team benches, an area that often gets national TV/streaming attention. By placing decals here, you ensure your branding is front and center for both live fans and those watching at home.
The designs can feature repeating logos or even come together across several steps to form a cohesive mural. Here are a few creative ideas to consider:
These installations strengthen the program’s legacy and influence.
Stair riser decals aren’t just for sports. They can really spruce up everyday spaces all over campus:
Residence Halls: Why not use decals to share important dorm safety rules or to add a modern touch with school logos and friendly messages? You can even put up temporary decals for move-in days, open houses, or seasonal celebrations.
Dining Areas and Student Centers: Give those busy staircases a makeover and turn them into vibrant, branded spaces that feel fresh and inviting.
Academic Buildings: Add some inspiration with motivational quotes, subject-themed graphics, or helpful wayfinding info to help students and visitors find their way around campus.
These are budget-friendly ways to breathe new life into high-traffic areas without the need for extensive renovations.
No and yes. The proprietary material that our stair riser decals are printed on would NOT be suitable for decals on the treads of stairs. However, there are other material options that could be suitable for the tread of your stairs. Your Account Manager can help you determine the correct material for your application.
All of our stair riser decals are customized and printed specifically to your needs, so the size of your stairs should not limit your ability to use decals for stairs.
We recommend taking ½” off of the height and width of the stair face measurements to prevent the stair decals from going over the edges and peeling back.
Stair riser decals are digitally printed, so there are no additional costs with adding multiple colors, images, or any other design elements. We would be happy to discuss your stair riser decal project in more detail and provide you with specific pricing information.
You should clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol to make sure that the surface is clean and dry before applying your stair riser decals.
Stair decals are an innovative and impactful way to utilize an often-overlooked space for branding, promotional messaging, or creative design. By transforming stair risers into eye-catching displays, you can turn everyday foot traffic into an opportunity for powerful branding. Whether used in sports arenas, corporate offices, educational institutions, or retail environments, custom stair decals offer a unique and memorable way to communicate your message.
Stair decals can serve a variety of purposes depending on your venue or event needs. They are ideal for:
Branding and Advertising: Display your logo, showcase a sponsor, or promote a specific product. Stair decals ensure your branding is visible from multiple vantage points, capturing people’s attention as they ascend or descend.
Wayfinding and Directional Signage: Use stair decals to guide visitors. Colorful arrows, floor numbers, or instructional text can make navigating your space easier and more intuitive.
Event Promotion: Promote upcoming events, sales, or seasonal campaigns. Event-specific stair decals can create a dynamic entrance or highlight a key area of your venue.
Thematic Decor: In schools, museums, or creative spaces, stair decals can be used for educational purposes to display facts or artwork, or with thematic designs that enhance the environment.
One of the greatest advantages of stair decals is their design flexibility. Decals can be customized to fit any size or style of staircase, and the designs can vary widely depending on the desired effect. You can choose from:
Repeating Patterns: A repeating logo or message on each stair creates a uniform look that reinforces your brand.
Panoramic Images: When applied correctly, stair decals can combine to form a single, large-scale image. This technique is especially effective for grand staircases in lobbies or public spaces, where the combined image creates a striking visual effect.
Bold Colors and Graphics: High-quality printing allows for vibrant, full-color designs that catch the eye and maintain their appearance despite high foot traffic.
Stair decals are designed to withstand the rigors of high-traffic areas. Made from durable, weather-resistant materials, they are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. In ice arenas or areas with fluctuating temperatures, AMI Graphics offers proprietary materials that maintain their integrity and adhesion. Regular maintenance involves simple cleaning with non-abrasive products to keep your decals looking fresh and professional.
For the best results, consider the sightlines in your space. Stair decals are most effective when they are visible from popular gathering spots or as visitors approach an entrance. Strategic placement ensures your message is not only seen but remembered. Additionally, pairing stair decals with other signage elements, such as wall graphics or floor decals, can create a cohesive and immersive experience.
With custom stair decals from AMI Graphics, you can transform your staircase into a dynamic display that enhances your space, reinforces your brand, and engages your audience in a fresh and creative way.
Think beyond logos. Stair decals can serve as a fantastic canvas for storytelling, whether it’s showcasing your institution’s history, celebrating student achievements, or presenting themed educational content. By using the stair riser format for curated lists, stunning murals, or timeline designs, you can transform the everyday act of moving through a space into a memorable visual journey.
Our decals are crafted from a unique material that can handle the hustle and bustle of high foot traffic. They’re tough enough to resist fading, peeling, or lifting, making them ideal for arenas, stadiums, college campuses, and public transit hubs. No matter how busy the location, our decals hold up beautifully.
From chilly arenas to steamy outdoor staircases, our decals are built to take it all on. They can handle a variety of environmental conditions, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings, even in places where temperature and humidity can change frequently.
Every staircase has its own character, and our decals are custom printed and cut to fit your specific dimensions. For the best results, we suggest sizing the decals just inside the edges of the stair face to ensure a strong bond and a polished appearance.
