What artwork files do you accept? Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are best for the sharpest results. High-resolution PNG or JPG files also work well, provided they're clear and at least 300 DPI at the final print size. What is vector artwork? Vector files are created using paths rather than pixels, which means they can be scaled to any size without losing quality. This gives you sharper prints and cleaner cut lines compared to raster images like JPG or PNG. Can you fix or set up my artwork? Yes — we can resize, tidy files, add bleed, or create cut lines. For simple adjustments, there's no charge. We'll let you know upfront if more extensive artwork preparation requires a fee. Do I need to supply cut lines? A: No. If needed, we'll create cut lines for you at no charge. Will I see a proof before printing? You can choose whether you'd like to receive a proof when placing your order. If you select this option and artwork changes or adjustments are required, you'll receive a digital proof for approval before we proceed to printing. What is a proof? A proof is a digital preview of exactly how your sticker will look when printed. It shows the final design, colors, sizing, and cut lines, allowing you to review and approve everything before production begins. This ensures the finished product matches your expectations. When will I receive my proof? Your proof will be emailed to you within 24-48 hours of placing your order. Please keep an eye on your inbox and check your junk mail folder in case it's filtered there. If you haven't received your proof within this timeframe, please contact us directly. No work will move into production until the proof is approved via return email. What if my logo or image isn't high enough quality? We'll assess your file and let you know if the quality is suitable for printing. If your artwork is too low resolution, we'll advise you and may be able to help recreate or source a better quality version for a small fee.

Materials & Finishing

What surfaces can these stickers adhere to? Our circle stickers adhere well to most smooth, clean surfaces including glass, metal, plastic, wood, and painted surfaces. For best results, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or oils before application. Are these stickers removable? While our stickers feature strong permanent adhesive designed for long-lasting application, they can be removed. However, depending on the surface and how long they've been applied, some adhesive residue may remain. They're not designed for repositioning once applied. Will the colors fade over time? All stickers will fade over time depending on UV exposure. Our stickers are printed with genuine Roland eco-sol inks that are UV stable and fade-resistant. The 2-year vinyl has a life expectancy of approximately 2 years and will fade faster as the ink is not protected by lamination. The laminated 5-year vinyl offers significantly greater color protection due to its UV-overlaminate layer, making it the best choice if long-term color vibrancy is essential for your application. Can these stickers withstand exposure to oils and chemicals? Yes, our stickers are oil-resistant, and the laminated 5-year vinyl provides enhanced protection against cleaning chemicals and essential oils. If your stickers will be regularly exposed to harsh chemicals, we strongly recommend choosing the laminated option. What's the minimum or maximum size I can order? The minimum order size for circle stickers is 60x60mm. If you need stickers smaller than this, please use our 'Sheet Stickers' product or if you need them to be smaller and cut as singles contact us for a custom quote. How do I care for items with these stickers on them? Our stickers are dishwasher safe and can handle regular cleaning. For hand-washing, simply clean as you normally would. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers directly on the sticker surface to maintain the best appearance over time.

FAQs

Design & Ordering

How do I design my Q Number sticker?
Use our free built-in Sticker Designer on the product page. Click "Design Online" to open the designer in a new tab, enter the name you'd like on your sticker, and choose your preferred font and vinyl colour. When you're happy with your design, click "Finish & Continue" to add your sticker to the product page where you can see a preview of your design before ordering.

How do I order after designing my sticker?
Once your design is added to the product page, you'll see a preview of exactly what you'll receive. Select your quantity and add to cart.

Will my sticker look exactly like the preview?
Yes. When you add your sticker to the cart, your design is automatically run through our production converter tool which creates a print-ready file — no manual setup is required on our end. What you see in the designer and on the product page is exactly what you'll receive.

Can I upload my own artwork or logo?
Q Number stickers are a text-only product — customers use the online designer to enter text and select a vinyl colour. If you need something more custom, please contact us and we'll discuss your options.

Can I choose a different font?
The font is fixed for this product and is shown in the designer. This ensures a clean, consistent, and compliant result suitable for public transport vehicles.

What type of sticker is this?
Q number stickers are supplied as custom cut vinyl lettering (also called transfer vinyl). This means there is no background — just clean, individual characters applied directly to the vehicle body for a professional, compliant finish.

My Q number has changed — can I update my sticker?
Because these are transfer stickers with no background, we can produce just the individual elements that have changed — you don't need to replace the entire sticker. Simply contact us with what needs updating and we'll sort it out for you.

Can I order in bulk for a fleet?
Yes — if you need Q number stickers for multiple vehicles, please contact us directly and we'll be happy to discuss bulk pricing and production options.

Materials & Durability

What material are the stickers made from?
Q number stickers are cut from premium pre-coloured vinyl rated for 5+ years of outdoor use. Pre-coloured vinyl is the highest rated vinyl for withstanding UV exposure, heat, and outdoor conditions.

Are Q number stickers weatherproof?
Yes. Our vinyl is fully waterproof and UV stable, designed to withstand sun, rain, and long-term outdoor exposure in daily service conditions.

How long will they last?
Standard outdoor vinyl lasts up to 5–7 years. Actual lifespan can vary depending on UV exposure, surface colour, and conditions.

What surfaces can Q number stickers adhere to?
These stickers adhere best to clean, smooth surfaces including painted metal and fibreglass body panels. They do not stick well to rough or textured surfaces, porous materials, or silicone-treated areas. For best results, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any grease, grime, or cleaning product residue before application.

Will vehicle door stickers adhere to ceramic coated or Raptor coated surfaces?
Unfortunately no — these stickers are not suitable for either ceramic coated or Raptor coated surfaces. Ceramic coating creates a slick, hydrophobic surface that vinyl adhesive cannot bond to reliably, while Raptor coat's textured finish prevents the sticker from making full contact. If your vehicle has either of these coatings applied, we'd recommend against ordering as the stickers will not adhere correctly.

Are Q number stickers suitable for all surfaces?
These stickers are not suitable for ribbed or textured surfaces, or any surface that curves in two directions simultaneously (such as a compound curve). This is a cut vinyl, not a wrapping vinyl, and will not conform to complex surface profiles. If you're unsure whether your surface is suitable, please contact us before ordering and we'll be happy to advise.

Are Q number stickers removable?
Q number stickers feature permanent adhesive designed for long-lasting application. While they can be removed, depending on the surface and how long they've been applied, some adhesive residue may remain and the vinyl will not be reusable.

It's worth noting that over time, UV exposure can cause the paint around your stickers to fade, while the area beneath the sticker remains protected. This can result in a "shadowing" effect — where the outline of the sticker becomes visible once removed. To minimise this, we recommend removing stickers after 3 years, polishing the surrounding surface, and re-applying fresh stickers.

How do I apply Q number stickers?
Your sticker arrives with transfer paper (application tape) applied over the design, holding all characters in position. Clean and dry your surface thoroughly, position the sticker with the transfer paper still attached, apply pressure to adhere it, then carefully peel away the transfer paper to reveal your Q number. Detailed application instructions are included with your order.

Production Times & Shipping

How long does it take to produce Q number stickers?
Q number stickers are produced within 24 hours on business days (Monday – Friday). If a proof has been requested, production begins once the proof has been approved via return email.

When will my order be shipped?
We ship every Tuesday and Thursday when our local postie collects from us. Your order will be dispatched on the next available collection day after production is complete.

Can you rush my order if it's urgent?
Yes! We can produce Q number stickers faster than our standard turnaround time if you have urgent requirements. Please contact us directly to discuss your timeline and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.

Who do you use for shipping?
We use Australia Post for all our deliveries, ensuring reliable and trackable shipping across Australia.

How long will delivery take once my order ships?
Delivery times depend on your location and the Australia Post service used. Standard delivery typically takes 2–6 business days for metro areas and 3–10 business days for regional areas. You'll receive tracking information once your order is dispatched.

Do you offer express shipping?
Yes, express shipping options are available at checkout.

If I order multiple different products will my entire order arrive together?
