Description
Get in front of customers when you’re behind the wheel.
Want to make the most of your time on the road? Our durable and long-lasting car window decals let you deliver your message (and contact info) to other drivers when you’re on the go. From cleaners to plumbers and anything in between, all kinds of businesses can create memorable stickers – with absolutely no maintenance required.
Dos and don’ts for decal design
• Get out the measuring tape – choose a size based on how much window space you have.
• Use large fonts and bright, high-contrast colors to make your custom decal stand out.
• Keep it brief. People only have a few seconds to read your text and contact info.
• Choose the “outside-glass” option if you have tinted windows.
Material options
• Clear decals have a semi-transparent, frosted look that looks great on any kind of glass.
• White decals have a white background that can help with readability.
• Perforated decals have tiny holes that let you create a full-color design (with heavy ink coverage) and still see right through it from the inside. They’re a great option maintaining visibility with thicker text and design elements.
Inside- vs. outside-glass
• Inside-glass (second surface) decals have printing on the cling side, and go inside your car.
• Outside-glass (first surface) decals cling on the back and are applied to the outside of your car. (If you have tinted windows, this is the only option you can use.)
Safety tips
• Don’t use car window decals on your windshield or front windows.
• Avoid placing decals anywhere that blocks your vision when looking behind you.
• Be sure to check if there are any rules and regulations in your town or county.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions
We recommend you follow these 3 easy application steps:
1. PREP: First, wash your vehicle surface with mild soap and water, then let it dry.
2. APPLY: Then peel your decal off its backing and place it on your car door or side panel.
3. SMOOTH: Finally, start from the center of the decal and use a flat edge (like a credit card) to remove any bubbles.
Follow these tips to make the most of your car window decal:
- Place your design or text in the center so none of it is clipped out when installing your decal.
- Use a large font size to ensure your message is visible to others.
- Add contrast by using light colored text on a dark background and dark colored text on a light background.
- If you’re using images, make sure they’re clear, vibrant and have a high resolution (300 dpi).
Back window decals for trucks or cars have an average lifespan of about 3 years.
Yes. You shouldn’t have any issues of the decal falling off or getting damaged.
No. For your safety, we don’t recommend the use of car window decals anywhere that could impede with your driving.
Your car window stickers are made with transparent polyacrylate – a removable, pressure-sensitive adhesive.
The right answer for you depends largely on where you intend to place your custom car window decal. If you want to display your decal on a rear window, we strongly recommend clear or perforated vinyl material – this prevents your view from being impeded as you drive. If you’re adding the decal to a side rear window, our white vinyl may be the right option for you, as it allows for vibrant, full-color printing over the entire decal.
With proper application, the decals should stay in place. See the application FAQ above for tips on our recommended application method.
No, not at this time. For more vehicle signage options, take a look at our car door decals or car magnets.
