  • Help customers recognize your vehicle on-site
  • Add your phone number, website, logo, and services
  • Create consistent branding across multiple vehicles
  • Turn daily driving into repeat local exposure
Cut Options

Vehicle Decal Cut Options

Depending on your design, your vehicle decal may be die-cut, kiss-cut, or transfer-cut.

Die-Cut Vehicle Decals

Cut through both the vinyl and backing so the decal is shaped to the contour of your design.

  • Great for logo-shaped vehicle decals
  • No extra backing around the shape
  • Clean professional finished look

Kiss-Cut Vehicle Decals

Cut through the vinyl layer only, leaving the backing intact for easier peeling and handling.

  • Good for smaller decals
  • Easier to peel and apply
  • Helpful for detailed shapes or grouped decals

Transfer-Cut Lettering

Best for phone numbers, website URLs, door lettering, unit numbers, and no-background vinyl designs.

  • Extra vinyl is removed from the design
  • Transfer tape holds individual pieces together
  • Vector file format is required
  • Best for clean vehicle lettering and logos
Transfer-Cut Guidelines

Important Rules for Vehicle Lettering

Transfer-cut vehicle lettering requires clean, simple artwork because small details must be picked, weeded, and held together with transfer tape.

  • Simple and open fonts are recommended
  • All text must be at least 1/2" tall
  • Space between characters and design elements should be at least 1/8"
  • Main strokes, line weights, or art elements should be at least 1/8"
  • Minimum pick size is 1/8"
  • Requesting a proof is recommended for transfer-cut vehicle decals
  • Vector file format is required, such as EPS or Adobe Illustrator AI
Artwork Guidelines

Prepare Your Vehicle Decal Artwork the Right Way

Clean artwork makes a huge difference with vehicle decals. If your file is not ready, we can help clean it up, resize it, prepare cut lines, and make sure it is production-ready.

  • Set up files proportionate to the exact finished size
  • Convert all text to outlines or curves
  • Include or embed all placed images
  • Indicate the cut line clearly for decal products
  • Keep important text and graphics away from trim edges
  • Use high-resolution artwork whenever possible
  • Acceptable files include EPS, PDF, JPG, and TIFF
  • Vector files are preferred for logos, lettering, and cut lines

Vector Files

Vector files are best for vehicle decals because they can scale cleanly without losing quality.

  • EPS files
  • PDF files
  • Adobe Illustrator AI files when available
  • Fonts should be converted to outlines or curves

Raster Files / Images

Raster files are pixel-based. If they are enlarged too much, they can become blurry, especially on large vehicle graphics.

  • JPG high-resolution files
  • TIFF high-resolution files
  • 100% scale at 100 DPI
  • 50% scale at 200 DPI or higher
  • 25% scale at 300 DPI or higher
  • 10% scale at 600–1200 DPI recommended
