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.

Materials
Single Color Vinyl
This high-quality calendered vinyl is designed for long-lasting performance across a wide range of applications.
With excellent dimensional stability and a strong, reliable adhesive, it delivers clean results on flat surfaces including vehicles, windows, signs, and more.
This material offers vibrant color, easy handling, and lasting durability, making it an ideal choice for business owners, installers, and creatives who expect premium results at an accessible price.
Printable Vinyl
Easy apply stickers are developed to support efficient installation on large vehicle surfaces while maintaining a clean and controlled finish. The adhesive layer incorporates an air-release structure that allows trapped air to escape during application, which helps prevent bubbles and uneven adhesion. This makes bubble free vinyl decals particularly suitable for truck panels, doors, and side sections where accuracy matters. Air release stickers move smoothly across painted and glass surfaces, giving installers time to align graphics correctly before final pressure is applied. The vinyl responds predictably to light handling and allows adjustments without any stretching or distortion.
Truck Unit Number
Keep Your Fleet Compliant and Organized with Unit Number Stickers
Every commercial vehicle in your fleet plays a critical role — and needs to be clearly identified not just for your internal use, but also for DOT compliance and roadside inspections. These custom truck unit number decals are designed specifically to meet federal guidelines while giving your fleet a clean, unified look.
Why Unit Number Stickers Matter
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) recommends displaying unique unit numbers on each commercial motor vehicle. This helps:
- Law enforcement and DOT officers identify a vehicle quickly during inspections
- Dispatchers coordinate logistics across multiple trucks
- Maintenance teams assign service records by vehicle
- Insurance and safety audits verify fleet data easily
DOT-Compliant Sizing & Legibility
To ensure compliance, each unit number is:
- Printed in block letters/numbers
- Sized at a minimum of 2 inches in height
- Created using high-contrast colors (black, white, or others) for maximum visibility
These specifications are aligned with DOT standards for fleet marking and ensure the number is legible from the required viewing distance typically at least 50 feet under normal lighting conditions.
