Food Truck Decals: Name and Logo Decals for Doors and Panels

Food truck decals from Work Decals are lettering and logo decals for doors and panels. They are not full-body graphics, not vehicle wraps and not menu boards. If you want your truck name, a logo and a way to reach you on the cab doors or a flat side panel, that is what we do. If you want the whole truck covered in artwork, you need a different supplier.

What a food truck needs from its decals

A food truck is read in two situations. In the line, a customer looks at the serving window, the menu and the name. Down the street, someone sees only a color and a shape. Decals on the doors and body help with the second case, because that is where a name and a phone number or a handle matter.

Keep the roles apart:

• The serving side carries your menu and prices. That is a sign or menu board job, and ours are not menu boards.
• The cab doors carry the truck name and contact details. This is where our decals fit.
• A flat body panel can carry the logo, if there is a clear area.

Catering van decals and food truck lettering

Catering vans are the quieter cousin: they park at venues, not on a busy corner. For a catering van, the doors carry the business name, the word "catering" and a phone number or booking address. A tagline helps if it is true. People who hire caterers want to confirm the van belongs to the company they booked.

• @mapleandsmoke

The first is the Business Name + Phone decal, with its middle line optional. For the second, the Make-Your-Own 5-Line lets you type any text on five lines, and a social handle is a good use of the spare line. Be careful with the phone line: it takes up to 24 characters in the Business Name + Phone decal, and long names shrink everything.

Food truck logo options

The Flame and Fork Food Truck Logo is a tall, stacked design: a red flame over three lines of red capitals, with a yellow crossed fork and spoon underneath. "Street Fire Kitchen" is the sample name, so your own name is fitted to the design and you approve a proof before printing. It is $120 per door.

This is a bold, busy design. It stands out on a dark truck or a plain panel, but the yellow fork and spoon have the weakest contrast against a white or pale truck. Look at the proof against your actual paint. Because the logo is tall, it suits a cab door or a square body panel better than a long, narrow strip.

If your name is long, a lettered decal may serve you better than a logo, since the heavy capitals shrink to fit.

Colors and the contour cut

A food truck can be painted in strong colors, so contrast is the main question. A white sticker with black lettering is easy to read nearly anywhere. Red lettering on a red truck disappears. You can see your choices on a door preview in the door builder before ordering. Our sizing notes are in the door decal size guide.

For logo designs, the optional contour cut is +$10 per door. It cuts the decal to the shape of the logo instead of a rectangle. On a dark truck the red flame and yellow utensils then sit directly on the paint, which looks cleaner. On a red truck the flame would vanish, so pick the rectangle.

Install is a do-it-yourself job with a printed instruction sheet and a video link, and how to install truck door decals walks through it. If you use your own truck only for events, our guide on magnetic signs explains the removable alternative. A trailer-based kitchen has its own panels, covered in trailer decals for business, and box truck decals helps if your kitchen is built on a box.
