My Real Roads Arrived with Creases – What Should I Do?

How do I fix creases or wrinkles in my Real Roads?

If your Real Roads arrived with creases (typically from shipping or packaging), they can usually be flattened with a simple fix.

How to remove creases:

1. Unroll the sheet completely and lay it flat on a clean, smooth surface
2. Place flat, heavy objects on top – books, boards, or other flat weights work well
3. Wait 24–48 hours – most minor creases will settle and smooth out naturally
4. Check the results – the vinyl should relax and lay flat

For stubborn creases:

• Try placing the sheet under a heavier weight for an additional day
• Ensure the surface underneath is completely flat
• Gently smooth the crease with your fingers while applying pressure

What causes creases:

• Real Roads are shipped rolled to protect them during transit
• Occasionally, the rubber band or packaging can create temporary crease marks
• Temperature changes during shipping can also affect vinyl flexibility

Important: If your Real Roads arrived with significant damage (tears, permanent wrinkles, or printing defects) that cannot be resolved, contact us with photos and we'll make it right.
