Your Business Vehicles Are Perfect For Truck Lettering And Full Color Decals

Not only is installing vinyl lettering and logo on a vehicle a good investment, it can even provide a better yield than a wrap. Since there is less vinyl involved, there is less material and labor costs, yet if the graphics are designed well and it is big enough, you will still get attention if done well.


If you have box trucks, it’s a no brainer, you virtually have two billboards, one on each side. Although rivets can be a nuisance, it really is not a problem when the truck lettering is planned right and the correct vinyl is used. With technique and a little heat, it looks fine and will last a long time.

 If you have a van that needs vinyl lettering, give us a call and stop in for measurements and we would be happy to consult and provide a quote. We can either utilize the windows or work around them. Again, it comes down to good planning and the budget allowance.

Vinyl lettering is made by creating shapes or using a font in a design application and sending the final  design to a plotter that has a small knife that cuts the layer of vinyl. The plotter uses the data from the computer application to move the knife and the vinyl around to die cut the shapes. The vinyl sheet is them pulled from the plotter and a sign technician pulls away the unwanted vinyl. The left over vinyl is then transfered via tape to your truck or vehicle.

This is known in the sign industry as weeding. To get custom color or to have continuous tone images used, we can print the images on our digitally controlled wide format printer, apply a laminate and then die cut the shape out. The custom designed and produced decal is then applied to the vehicle.

If you have space available on your vehicle and your fleet is constantly out and about, why not let potential customers know how much you get around by calling Epic Signs & Graphics for a consultation to get an estimate and design ideas for truck lettering..
