Custom Rear Window Decals

Use these buying points to choose the right Custom Rear Window Decals configuration.

1. Solid Opaque Graphic Versus See-Through Rear Window Visibility

   Here's the thing: this decal bonds white PVC to your rear glass, so the printed face is fully opaque. Your driver cannot see through it. That works for most business branding and personal graphics where rear visibility comes from side mirrors alone. But if you need to see through the glass from inside the cab, go with perforated vinyl under our Window Decals category instead. Perforated vinyl gives you 70 percent print coverage outside and 30 percent open holes so the driver keeps a sight line.

2. Single Vehicle Order Versus Fleet Order Across Multiple Vehicles

   A single vehicle order is straightforward: enter your size, upload your file, approve the proof. Fleet orders across 5 or more vehicles need a different approach. Contact us before ordering so we can lock in consistent sizing templates and apply volume pricing to your full quantity. Skipping that step on fleet orders typically means mismatched sizes across vehicles.

3. Standard Rectangle Shape Versus Custom Die-Cut Shape

   Standard rectangles suit text-heavy designs: a URL, a phone number, a simple wordmark. For a logo with a complex outline or a mascot silhouette, choose die-cut. The vinyl trims to the exact edge of your artwork, so no white border shows around the design on the glass.

4. Sizing Fit for Die-Cut Shapes

   Your design must fit within 58.5 in wide. Designs wider than 58.5 in ship in multiple pieces with alignment guides. Plan your layout inside that boundary if you want a single-piece application.

5. Self-Application on a Small Decal Versus Large-Format Decal Needing Two People

   Decals under roughly 24 in wide are easy one-person applications using the included squeegee. For decals approaching the 58.5 in maximum width, bring a second person to hold one end flat while you squeegee from center outward. And do not skip that step: a decal that wide will fold onto itself mid-application without a second set of hands.

File formats we accept: PDF, AI, PNG, and JPG. Vector files (AI or PDF) are the strongest choice for logos because they scale to any size without losing edge detail.

Resolution

Resolution matters more than most buyers expect. The floor is 150 DPI at your final print size. For decals under 24 in wide, go with 300 DPI because viewers get close enough to spot a soft edge on anything lower. Set your color mode to CMYK before exporting. CMYK is the 4-color printing process (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) that matches how our UV press reproduces color. RGB files shift when we convert them, so colors on screen won't match the finished decal.

Bleed

Add 0.25 in of bleed on all sides and keep logos and text at least 0.5 in inside the trim edge. Sharp details stay safe that way.

Artwork setup

For die-cut shapes, supply your artwork on a transparent background. We cut to the exact design outline with no white border around the graphic.
