Types of Truck Lettering

What is Truck Lettering?

Vinyl truck lettering is a long lasting way to identify or advertise on a vehicle. You can see our work throughout New York City and beyond, with lettering and wraps on all sides of trucks on the road.

Commercial vehicle lettering is custom cut from heavy-duty vinyl film created by Avery Dennison or 3M. The vinyl is backed with a paint safe adhesive so that letters can be easily installed and removed on vehicles. Available vinyl lettering options include:
  • Truck Lettering – Custom vinyl lettering can be created to show a company name, contact details, or other information and easily installed on the side or door of vehicles.
  • Truck Door Decals – Great for single-colored logos or graphics, a vinyl decal can be placed on the door to offer more customization or identify a fleet vehicle.
  • DOT Number Signs – Vinyl lettering is ideal for the number of signs required on commercial vehicles by the Department of Transportation.
Each letter or decal is cut directly from the vinyl and can be customized in many different ways. Some of the examples of customization include:
  • Color – We stock over 20 colors of factory-colored vinyl film, including gold and silver leaf for metallic lettering. We also have ways to create custom lettering prints in essentially any color.
  • Font – Vinyl lettering is machine cut by a CNC router that can make small, precise cuts so any custom font is possible.
  • Size – Letters can be made in any size, and customized to fit a specific vehicle’s dimensions.
  • Finish – Gloss and matte finishes are available for truck lettering.
Our team of expert designers can work with your specific vehicle or fleet to create lettering and determine which customization options will work best.
