Work Van Decals: Name, Phone, Website and Trade Logo

Work van decals usually draw on four things: a business name, a phone number, a website and, if you have one, a trade logo. They do not all have to share one decal. A workable split puts the name and phone on the doors and the website or logo on another panel, so every line stays large enough to read.

Name and phone on one decal

A sample for a repair business, with made-up details:

• HOLLISTER HOME REPAIR
• Doors, decks and drywall
• (555) 555-0187

That is the Business Name + Phone Number decal, $30.99 per decal. Line two is optional, and it earns its place only if a stranger could not tell your trade from the name. The name and tagline lines take up to 32 characters each and the phone line takes 24, so keep every line short and the letters can stay big. Include the area code, and print only a tagline you can back up, because "Licensed and insured" must be true.

A website line

The Business Name + Website Decal is $27.99 and pairs the name with an address, for example HOLLISTER HOME REPAIR over hollisterrepair.example. Type the address as a customer would, without https:// or www, and check the preview to see how it reads. A domain with a hyphen or a digit is harder to say aloud, so think about whether someone could find it from a glance at a passing van.

Want the phone and the website on the same decal? The Make-Your-Own 5-Line takes any text you type, at $51 per decal.

A trade logo on the door

A logo shows the trade at a glance. The Wrench and Drop Plumbing Logo is an example: blue capitals beside a crossed wrench and a water drop. Our ready-made logo designs are $120 per door, your company name is fitted to the design, and you approve a proof before anything prints. An optional contour cut, $10 more per door, trims the decal to the shape of the logo instead of a rectangle.

Browse all custom logo designs, or see the plumbing truck decals page for one trade in detail. A simple layout is the logo on the front doors and a separate name-and-phone decal on a flat side or rear panel.

Does the van need USDOT lettering?

The name, phone and website decals carry no USDOT number. Whether a van is covered by the federal rules turns on its weight rating, passenger count and use (49 CFR 390.5T). If it is covered, the marking rule asks for the carrier's legal name or a single trade name and the USDOT number on both sides (49 CFR 390.21), and the Custom USDOT Logo puts them on one decal. The cargo van and Sprinter van guide walks through the weight test, and who needs a USDOT number covers the rest.

Colors, panels and install

Pick lettering to match your brand. Red or blue lettering on a white sticker reads clearly and ties to a mark like the blue plumbing logo. In the builder, red or blue lettering is $2 more per decal. On a white van, a white sticker blends into the paint while a yellow one stands out. On a dark van, a white sticker gives a bright block. The truck lettering fonts and colors guide shows which pairings to avoid.

Vans often have pressed creases and recessed sections, so tape out the rectangle and check that it sits on one flat plane. Keep it off door seals, trim and textured plastic, which may not hold vinyl the way painted metal does. Then follow how to install truck door decals. The door decal size guide covers choosing a width, and the door builder previews your lines.
