Options

Die Cut

Die cut stickers are designed to match the exact shape of your design, with no background and no visible border. The cut follows the outline precisely, allowing the sticker to appear sharp and visually defined once applied. The result is a finished look that feels purpose-built, rather than standard or generic. With custom die cut stickers, attention remains fully on the design. Logos, lettering and detailed shapes are trimmed to closely follow the original contour, resulting in a clean and accurate outline. This cutting method allows precise control over the final appearance and keeps the visual free from unnecessary elements.

Kiss Cut

This cutting method keeps the sticker attached to its backing, making handling and application more controlled, especially for larger formats commonly used on trucks. The cut passes only through the top vinyl layer, while the backing paper remains intact, allowing kiss cut stickers to stay positioned on a square or rectangular sheet. This makes them easier to transport, store and apply on vehicle surfaces without distortion.

Transfer Cut

Transfer cut stickers use a cutting method where only the visible elements of the design remain after application. Letters and shapes are cut individually, then held in place with a transfer tape that preserves spacing and alignment. During installation, the full layout is applied in a single step, after which the tape is removed. With transfer cut decals, the surface underneath becomes part of the final look. The absence of surrounding vinyl allows the design to appear integrated rather than layered. This approach is often chosen for text-focused graphics where edge accuracy and readability are essential. Designs produced this way are also commonly described as no background decals, due to their minimal and direct appearance.

Rounded Corners

Rounded corner stickers use a cutting style that replaces sharp angles with smooth edges on other shapes, like square or rectangular ones. This type of cut reduces stress points at the corners, helping the sticker maintain its shape during handling, application and also long-term use. The rounded cut also supports a smoother application process. Smooth edge stickers align more easily during placement and adapt better to minor surface imperfections.

Reflective

Reflective stickers are designed to improve visibility when light reaches their surface. The material redirects light back toward its source, creating a clear and noticeable response in reduced lighting. This makes high visibility decals especially valuable for vehicles operating during early mornings, evenings or nighttime hours. On fleet vehicles, night visibility stickers play an important role in identification and safety. They remain understated in daylight and become clearly visible once illuminated by headlights or work lights. Light reflecting stickers help ensure that markings, numbers and warnings stay readable when standard materials would be difficult to see, supporting safer driving and maneuvering in low-light environments.

Materials

Car Vinyl

Heavy duty stickers are made primarily for demanding environments where durability and consistency are critical, to be used on different types of commercial vehicles. This premium 2.4 mil vinyl allows for smooth application and precise positioning. The vinyl structure is thicker and more robust, providing high durability vinyl that can withstand regular exposure to harsh conditions commonly faced by fleet vehicles. Weather resistant decals made from this material maintain strong adhesion and visual stability despite ongoing contact with various conditions on the road.

Trailer Decals

Trailer decals help any trailer look sharp and professionally branded. They are especially well suited to commercial and utility use and help businesses maintain a strong and recognizable brand image. Produced from durable, weather-resistant materials, these decals withstand harsh road and climate conditions. Their reliable adhesion ensures a smooth application across multiple surfaces, while high-quality colors remain vibrant over time.

Trailer decals offer a reliable way to increase visibility and support brand recognition on the road. Designed for long-term use, they keep key information clear and easy to read in any driving condition. Built for durability, these decals help trailers stand out wherever they travel.

Which material is the best for trailer decals?

The right decal material ensures durability and proper adhesion to the trailer surface. Cast vinyl is often preferred for its flexibility and smooth appearance. It conforms easily to both flat and gently curved areas and delivers dependable performance over long periods outdoors, with stable color quality.

Calendered vinyl offers an alternative for projects with more limited demands. It provides a cost-effective solution and works well for temporary or short-term use. Its reduced flexibility and shorter lifespan make it a practical choice, especially for trailers that change graphics often.

For trailers used regularly on the road, additional surface protection becomes essential. Vinyl with a protective laminate offers an extra layer that protects the decal and its appearance over time. This finish helps reduce surface wear and supports color clarity. Reliable adhesion is equally important. Strong adhesives allow decals to bond securely to common trailer surfaces and remain in place during daily use. When durability and appearance matter most, cast vinyl combined with a protective laminate stands out as the most dependable option for long-term trailer decal applications.

Tips for cleaning and maintaining business decals

Proper cleaning and maintenance keep decals looking their best. Dirt and dust can reduce adhesion and cause colors to fade. Regular care protects the surface and the design. Simple cleaning helps decals last longer and stay vibrant over time.

To keep decals in excellent condition, follow these simple tips:

• Clean surfaces gently and consistently;

• Avoid abrasive tools or strong chemicals.

• rinse thoroughly to remove residue;

• Allow decals to dry naturally.

Whenever possible, choose locations with less direct sun exposure to help limit long-term wear. Removing dirt quickly protects the surface and keeps graphics easy to read. Regular care stops dirt and residue from affecting adhesion and keeps colors bright over time. Simple maintenance protects fleet decals and ensures they represent the brand clearly on every journey.

With proper attention, such vehicle advertising decals stay reliable, visible, and professional, even after repeated road use.

Easy installation for professional results

Professional results with trailer graphics begin with simple and careful installation. The process is simple when the surface is properly prepared and quality materials are chosen.

Vinyl with a smooth surface allows precise placement and prevents air bubble creation. Flexible material and clear instructions make it easier to align decals accurately on flat or slightly curved areas.

A clean and dry surface is quite important before applying any graphics. Accurate measurement and thoughtful positioning ensure the design looks balanced. Use a soft cloth to prevent damage and to protect the decal’s surface.


Correctly applied decals create a uniform finish that improves the trailer’s appearance. Trailer stickers installed this way present a professional look. This method delivers desired outcomes and keeps graphics vibrant and visually prominent over time.

Trailer Decals File Preparation

Design Guidelines

Have a design file ready for print? We recommend that you review the following guidelines before placing your order.

Dimensions Required

Please select your product's width and height above to view the design guidelines and file setup specifications.

Understanding File Setup

Bleed AreaAdd 0.125in.

Extend your background to fill the full "bleed area." This will make sure you do not end up with white edges when your product is cut.

Finished Project SizeWhat you selected on this page

This is where we aim to cut your final product size.

Safe ZoneInset 0.125in.

Keep all of the important elements of your design-text, logo, icons-inside this area. It's okay for backgrounds and images to run all the way to the bleed area.

What type of files will you accept?

We recommend vector-based .PDF design files. Most major design applications can generate a print-ready .PDF by using the Save As feature and selecting "Adobe PDF." If you are unable to obtain a .PDF file for your design, the best are those in .EPS or .AI (CS3 or higher) format with all text converted to outlines.

Recommended file types:

Vector-based .PDF, .PS, .PSD, or .EPS. Vector-based Adobe Illustrator .AI

Other accepted file types:

.PNG, .TIF, .BMP, .GIF, or .JPG
