What are Custom Car Decals
Car decals, also known as car stickers and graphics, are adhesive vinyl designs that are applied to vehicles. They are budget-friendly additions that businesses and individuals use for advertising, branding, or personalization. Car decal stickers work for all types of enterprises, from small to large. Our car decal stickers can add a custom touch to individual cars with personalized designs as well.
These versatile graphics can cover your vehicle doors, bumpers, and even glass surfaces and can be applied to sedans, vans, trucks, and trailers. With custom designs and professional-quality printing, your vehicle becomes a powerful marketing tool that reaches potential customers throughout your community. Whether you need a decal for your car window, we’ve got you covered.

Car Decal Printing
To make high-quality vehicle decals, we apply full-color printing. The UV curing systems ensure an exact color-match with high resilience against the sun and rain. As a result, you get vinyl stickers for cars in a vibrant look, and they last more than a year without losing their vividness.
Application Options: Standard vs. Inside-Glass
Application Options: Standard vs. Inside-Glass
- Standard: Applied directly to the outer surface of the vehicle. Choose this option for maximum visibility and bold impact. Perfect for body panels, doors, bumpers, and exterior branding. This is the default method for all car decal types.
- Inside-Glass: Mirror-printed on the adhesive side and applied from the inside of the glass. Choose this option for added protection and longevity. Ideal for clear car decals,this method shields your graphics from weather, fading, and scratches. Use them for window displays and contact information.
Types of Vehicle Decals
We offer custom car decals with three different options.
- Clear: This transparent material is ideal for glass surfaces. Use clear car decals for inside-glass installation on windows. It’s also a great option when you want to comply with visibility regulations.
- Non-Transparent: Opaque car decals come with strong adhesion and are suitable for any part of the vehicle. Display them to feature bold graphics on the go.
- One-Way Visibility: Perforated car window decals allow you to see out while blocking the view in. Use them for branded window decals that ensure privacy.
Shape Options for Custom Car Decals
Get decals for cars with custom shapes, specifically cut for your needs. Our digital plotter machine uses blades to cut designs with pinpoint accuracy. Here's how we can cut your car decals:
- Square / Rectangle: This is a classic cut offering pointed corners. This shape works great for logos, text blocks, or straightforward car door decals.
- Rounded: Think square or rectangle, but with rounded corners that result in a smoother appearance.
- Outline: We trim your decal to follow the exact shape of your design. There are no backgrounds or borders. Perfect when you want a custom silhouette.
- Overline: Your design gets cut to shape, but with a thin border around the edge. This creates a sharp contrast and makes your graphics pop.

Common Uses of Vehicle Decals
Vehicle decals put miles to work, whether you're spreading the word about your business or adding a stamp of personality. Below are the ways drivers make the most of them.
Business Advertising
Use cost-effective business car decals to advertise your services wherever you drive. Display your logo, contacts, and a QR code for customers to get in touch with you whenever they need you. One car decal puts your brand on every road, parking lot, and job site you visit.
Team Support
Attach a car decal with your team’s logo to show support on the road. Carry your team pride, display its colors, and let everyone know who you root for. Every graphic pushes your team identity from the stadium all the way home.
Political Campaigns
Put your candidate’s name on your car to reach thousands of voters daily as you drive. Let your supporters display your decal and make your name available to neighborhoods, districts, and communities. The more car decals you place, the wider your message spreads.
Safety Purposes
Turn your vehicle into a safety reminder for everyone on the road. Display speed limits, emergency contacts, or hazard warnings so people know how to behave. Prevent an accident before it happens with custom-made decals for cars that are large and bright.
Placement Options for Vehicle Decals
Need to maximize your brand visibility and reach potential customers while driving? Our customizable car decals can be placed on any part of your vehicle to help you achieve your individual goals.
Car Graphics for Bumpers
Apply your design to your car bumper to make your business name and logo visible to hundreds of potential customers. Promote your services or add personality with a funny quote, giving your vehicle instant recognition. For impressive promotional messaging, consider designing bumper stickers. Make your own vehicle decals for business using our free sign design tool.
Vehicle Graphics for Doors
Car door decals provide the possibility for your business to be seen from both sides of your vehicle. These placement areas help you attract attention from pedestrians and nearby drivers. Decorate your car doors with eye-catching personal or business car decals featuring bold shapes and colorful styles.
Car Graphics for Windows
Window decals let you take advantage of otherwise unused glass space. This placement is especially effective for showcasing your brand to people behind you or walking past your parked vehicle. Use smaller vinyl graphics on windows to avoid blind spots while driving.
Notice: Each state has its own regulations regarding windshield, rear window, and side window decals for business and personal vehicles. Before applying car window decals, check your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or transportation authority for specific requirements in your area.
Size Recommendations for Vinyl Car Decals
To choose the best size for your car decal, measure the specific area of your vehicle where you want to apply the decal. Be sure to account for any curvature in the surface, keep important elements like text and logos away from creases, curves, and door seams, as the decal will need to be cut in these areas, which can interrupt your graphics.
How to Install Custom Decals For Vehicles
Dry Installation
Step 1: Wash the surface where you intend to apply your decal. Let it dry thoroughly.
Step 2: Use tape to temporarily position your decal and make sure it’s in its right spot.
Step 3: Peel away the back sheet from the bottom and pull it all the way off.
Step 4: Put the decal onto the surface. Once applied, you can't move it, so take your time.
Step 5: Press with your Squeegee to make sure all air gets out.
Step 6: Peel away the clear top sheet slowly. Pull at an angle. Press it back down if the decal lifts with it. Squeegee again and try to pull from a new angle.
Wet Installation
Step 1: Wash the application area and then wipe it down to remove any grime. Completely dry it with a paper towel.
Step 2: Position your decal with tape to make sure it’s level. Wet both the car surface and the sticky side of the decal with a soapy water mixture.
Step 3: Peel off the backing paper. Make sure the vinyl graphics stay attached to the clear transfer tape.
Step 4: Place the wet decal onto the wet surface. It will be slippery, allowing you to slide and adjust it into the position you want.
Step 5: Hold the decal steady. Use your Squeegee to press the water out from the center to the outer edges.
Step 6: Let it dry for 15-20 minutes and peel the clear transfer tape off at a sharp angle.
Step 7: Lay the tape back down in the area with your Squeegee if any letters or edges lift up.

Care for Custom Auto Decals
Rinse the debris off first with a spray of water. Wash your car sticker decals regularly by hand with a sponge and mild detergent. Saturate thoroughly with clean water to finish. Use a clean microfiber cloth to dry.
Store the vehicle indoors whenever possible. Use a cloth car cover to protect your graphics from the sun if a garage isn’t available.
Don’t let fuel spills, tree sap, or bird droppings sit on the graphic for any period of time. Avoid holding the nozzle of a pressure washer at an angle to the edge of the graphic. Hand-washing is the safest option.

- We deliver all our products to any location within the USA and Canada. Check our terms and policies page to see if this product qualifies for special offers or shipping discounts.
- People sometimes use these terms interchangeably. But there are differences everyone should know before ordering. Car decals are larger and more professional products than stickers. They adhere to the car doors, panels, and windows to identify businesses and advertise their services. They can handle outdoor conditions for a long time.
Stickers are smaller prints serving more as personal expression rather than business branding. They are simpler in construction and do not always withstand weather shifts. - Yes, but you’ll need to wait for the paint to dry completely before applying your car decal.

- Smooth, non-porous surfaces are ideal for holding vehicle vinyl decals. Enamel-painted car metal, smooth plastic, and auto glass are on the list.

Choose matte lamination if you want a clean and professional look without the shine. Matte lamination reduces glare. This makes text easier to read under direct sunlight. It’s ideal if you need to print minimalist logos, political campaigns, and designs where readability matters more than visual impact. - Yes, we offer the option of obtaining the Squegee. You need to choose this option while making your order via our design tool.
- No, you can order as many graphics as you need.
