At Safety Decals, we take immense pride in being an innovative, family-owned American company dedicated to providing high-quality safety decals, stickers, and reflective vinyl solutions. As a division of Tye’s Incorporated, our roots run deep — our story began in 1947 when Marion Tykoski opened a small neon sign shop after returning from World War II. Over the decades, our family has carried forward his vision, work ethic, and commitment to craftsmanship, transforming that humble business into the dynamic, trusted partner we are today.
Now in our third generation of family leadership under Nicholas Tykoski, we combine decades of expertise with state-of-the-art production technology to deliver exceptional products and services to industries across the country. As a proud American manufacturer, we believe in investing in our people, our equipment, and our community — and we stand firmly behind the Build America, Buy America (BABA) initiative. This commitment not only supports local jobs and the U.S. economy, but also ensures that our customers receive products that meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and compliance.
Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of serving a wide variety of industries and clients — from aviation and aerospace companies that rely on precision safety markings, to large-scale manufacturing facilities that need durable decals for machinery, to city and government agencies that depend on our signage to keep communities safe. Whether it’s airside operations, industrial warehouses, municipal fleets, construction sites, or public facilities, our team understands the unique needs and compliance requirements that each sector demands.
One of our proudest points of distinction is our ability to print on highly retroreflective vinyl — a capability that only a handful of companies worldwide possess. This specialized process allows us to meet the most demanding industrial and civil safety standards, including compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) regulations. This level of performance is critical for applications like emergency vehicles, roadway safety signs, equipment labeling, and any environment where visibility can mean the difference between hazard and safety.
But our expertise doesn’t stop at standard products. What truly sets Safety Decals apart is our flexibility and willingness to tackle almost anything our customers envision. We take pride in being a service business first and foremost, and a product provider second. Even if a customer comes to us with an idea we’ve never done before, we’re happy to roll up our sleeves and do everything we can to bring that vision to life. Our team thrives on problem-solving and finding unique, intuitive solutions that other companies might shy away from. From unusual materials and complex designs to innovative applications that push the limits of what’s possible, we welcome the challenge — because for us, there’s no greater satisfaction than turning a customer’s idea into a finished product they’re proud to display.
In addition to advanced vinyl production, we offer a diverse suite of multimedia services — including custom vinyl design, laser etching, routing, engraving, embroidery, and heatseal applications. This range of capabilities means that whether you need custom control panel labels, engraved equipment signage, embroidered uniforms, or branded promotional items, we can deliver it all under one roof. For larger organizations with complex branding and procurement needs, we even offer company portal creation — an easy, centralized way for your teams to order uniforms, branded swag, and safety materials with consistent quality and design.
As a family-run company, we believe that our greatest strength lies in our people and our dedication to doing business the right way. We know that every sticker, sign, or label we produce carries our name and reputation, so we refuse to cut corners. From sourcing the best materials to investing in cutting-edge equipment and training, we make it our mission to ensure that each product we deliver will withstand the harshest conditions — whether it’s scorching sun, industrial solvents, or daily wear and tear in the field.
Equally important to us is our commitment to personalized customer service. We treat every customer — big or small — like a valued partner, not just an order number. Our clients know they can pick up the phone and speak directly with our team, including our leadership, at any time. We believe that building long-lasting relationships and understanding your specific needs is the best way to deliver solutions that make a real difference.
While we continue to grow, our family values and dedication to American manufacturing remain at the core of who we are. We see ourselves not just as a vendor, but as a trusted partner invested in our customers’ success. Whether you’re in aviation, manufacturing, construction, logistics, city planning, or any industry that demands high-quality safety and branding solutions, we’re here to help you protect your people, your property, and your reputation.
