Janitorial Van Decals: Lettering and Logo for Cleaning Crews

Janitorial van decals work like a name tag for a crew that does most of its work after an office has emptied. A property manager, a security guard or a tenant who walks past your van in the lot should be able to read the company name and a phone number at a glance. This page covers janitorial truck lettering, a mop and bucket logo and how to match several vans.

Who reads a janitorial van

The audience is different from a contractor's pickup at a curb. Your van is mostly read by people who are standing in a parking lot, not by drivers rolling by:

• A property or office manager who is deciding whether to keep or replace a cleaning vendor.
• A guard or front-desk worker who wonders why a van is in the lot at night.
• Tenants who arrive early and see the crew loading up.

Those readers have more than a glance, so a short extra line can earn its place. Keep the name large anyway.

Janitorial truck lettering: what to print

• Company name, matched to the name on your contracts and invoices.
• "Janitorial" or "Commercial cleaning," whichever term your clients use.
• Phone number, with area code.
• Optional: "Offices and commercial buildings," or a service area, if it is accurate.

If you hold a business license, check with your state licensing board whether it wants a number shown on the vehicle. We print the exact text you provide, so a number can go on its own line.

Layouts for one van or a small fleet

All text here is made up.

One van, simple. The Business Name + Phone decal is $30.99 per decal. It is the simpler choice when the door should say only who you are:

• Northgate Janitorial
• Commercial cleaning
• (555) 016-3350

One van, more detail. The Make-Your-Own 5-Line decal is $51:

• Northgate Janitorial Services
• Offices and Commercial Buildings
• Serving the Tri-County Area
• northgatejanitorial.example
• (555) 016-3350

Several vans. Use the same text and the same colors on every vehicle, so the crew reads as one company. If you number vans for dispatch, see our guide to fleet unit number decals.

Janitorial truck logo: mop, bucket and sparkle

The Mop and Bucket Janitorial Logo costs $120 per door. A blue bucket with a slanted blue mop sits above two lines of navy capitals, and a small green sparkle floats above the bucket. The sample reads "Brightshift Janitorial," with the second word smaller. Your name is fitted to the design, and we send a proof for approval before printing.

The sparkle is the smallest part of the picture, so do not count on it at a distance. The bucket and the navy name carry the message. The logo does not include a phone number, so add that on a separate decal.

Die-cut letters or a rectangle?

Our decals are printed rectangles with a solid sticker color behind the words, not individual cut letters. The guide on die-cut letters vs rectangular decals explains the trade-off. For logo designs, the optional contour cut (+$10 per door) cuts the decal to the shape of the logo instead of a rectangle. Navy lettering then sits straight on the paint, which works on a white or light van and gets lost on a dark one.

Colors for parking-lot lighting

Lot lights change how colors look after dark, and contrast is what survives. Dark navy or Black lettering on White or Yellow holds up. Thin pale lettering on Silver can fade. The fonts and colors guide compares more pairings, and the door builder shows each one on a truck door. We sell decals, not wraps.
