Vehicle Application Guide

Where lettering goes on a car or truck, how big it can be, and what the law says about windows.

Panel sizes below are typical. Measure yours before ordering — a compact hatchback and a full-size pickup are not close.

Vehicle placements with their maximum sizes
Placement Panel size Letter height Notes
Rear Window Banner 62" × 26" 3" – 12" Sits across the top of the rear glass. Check your state rules on rear-window coverage before ordering.
Side Door 46" × 30" 2" – 8" Business name and phone number for both front doors. Order as a mirrored pair.
Tailgate 56" × 20" 2" – 10" Full-width truck tailgate lettering.
Quarter Window 20" × 14" 1.5" – 6" Small rear side windows. Usually ordered as a mirrored pair.
Windshield Visor Strip 58" × 14" 3" – 10" Sun-strip lettering across the top of the windshield. Local law limits how far down the glass this may sit.
Bumper 30" × 8" 1.5" – 5" Short slogans and small text.

Anything wider than our 24" vinyl is cut in panels that butt together during installation.

A word on windows

Rules on what may be applied to a windshield or rear window vary by state, and some limit how far down the glass anything may sit. Check your own state before ordering window lettering. We cut what you ask for; we cannot tell you it is legal where you live.

Both sides of a vehicle

Door lettering is normally ordered as a mirrored pair — the same artwork twice, one for each side. The designer offers this as a single tick box on the placements where it applies.
