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.

Turn your ute tray into a moving billboard with a custom full colour signage decal designed to fit neatly within the flat panels of a ribbed aluminium ute tray. Whether you're a tradie wanting to get your business noticed on the road, or just want a sharp, professional finish on your tray — this is the cleanest way to do it.

Supplied as a full colour rectangle cut to size, these decals are specifically designed to sit within the flat panel sections of a standard ribbed aluminium ute tray — not over the ribs. Supply your own artwork, have us set up your file, or let us create something from scratch.

Each decal is digitally printed onto premium 5 year outdoor vinyl and finished with a matching 5 year outdoor overlaminate for a durable, UV-stable result that handles the elements and daily use. No background, no border — just sharp, professional branding right on your tray.

FAQs

Design & Artwork

What artwork files do you accept for ute tray signage decals?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG) 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 results compared to raster images like JPG or PNG.

What types of designs work best for ute tray signage decals?
Full colour printing works best when your design has good contrast and bold elements — think solid fills, clear outlines, and legible text at the size you're ordering. Very fine lines, thin script fonts, and small detailed text can lose definition once printed, so we recommend keeping text and line weights chunky enough to hold up at size.

Can I include images or logos?
Absolutely — there are no limits on colours, so you can include logos, graphics, gradients, and even photographs alongside your business details.

Can you fix or set up my artwork?
We offer a "Make My File Print Ready" service that includes resizing, adding bleed, and preparing your file for production — with no changes to your actual artwork. If your design needs modifications or corrections, please contact us for a custom quote.

What does "I Have Print-Ready Artwork" mean?
This option is for files that are ready to go straight to production with no changes needed. Your file is considered print-ready if the artwork is supplied at final size, includes bleed, and all text is converted to outlines. If no proof is requested, print-ready files will proceed straight to production.

What does "I Need a File Created" include?
If you don't have artwork, we offer a flat rate design service for simple layout creation. This includes basic layout using your specifications and includes two design proofs. If your design is more complex, please contact us for a custom quote.

What if my design is complex?
We allocate design time based on the quoted price. If your artwork requires significantly more work than anticipated, we'll reach out before starting and provide a custom quote. If you'd prefer not to proceed at that point, a full refund will be issued.

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.

Will I see a proof before production?
When placing your order, you'll select whether you have print-ready files, need file setup assistance, or need a new file created. Based on your selection, you'll see how many design proofs are included. For print-ready artwork with a proof requested, we'll prepare your file and send a digital proof for approval but won't make changes to your design. If your file isn't set up correctly, we'll notify you so you can make the necessary changes.

What is a proof?
A proof is a digital preview of exactly how your ute tray decal will look. It shows the final design, sizing, colours, and layout, allowing you to review and approve everything before production begins.

When will I receive my proof?
Your proof will be emailed within 24–48 hours of placing your order. Please check your junk mail folder in case it's filtered there. If you haven't received it within this timeframe, contact us directly. No work will move into production until the proof is approved via return email.

Materials & Durability

What material are ute tray signage decals made from?
Ute tray signage decals are digitally printed onto premium 5 year outdoor vinyl and finished with a matching 5 year outdoor overlaminate for a durable, UV-stable result built to handle daily use and outdoor conditions.

Are ute tray signage decals waterproof?
Yes — the vinyl and overlaminate are fully waterproof and UV stable, designed to withstand sun, rain, and long-term outdoor exposure.

How long will they last?
The vinyl and overlaminate are both rated to 5 years outdoors. Actual lifespan can vary depending on UV exposure, surface colour, and conditions.

What surface are these decals designed for?
Ute tray signage decals are specifically designed to be applied to the flat panel sections of a ribbed aluminium ute tray — the smooth, flat areas between the ribs. They are not designed to be applied over the ribs themselves. For best results, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, grime, or wax before application.

Will these decals work on my ute tray?
These decals are designed for standard ribbed aluminium ute trays and are sized to fit within the flat panel sections. If you have an unusual tray configuration or are unsure whether your tray is suitable, please contact us before ordering and we'll be happy to advise.

Are ute tray signage decals removable?
Ute tray signage decals feature permanent adhesive designed for long-lasting application. While they can be removed, the vinyl will not be reusable.
