What a Decal Package Includes
This package is built for businesses that need identification, contact details and a tidy company presence on the vehicle. It is usually made up of cut vinyl lettering, door logos, side panel graphics, operating hours, website details, licence disc area markings and, where needed, small service icons or trade marks. The layout is kept practical so drivers can park, load, wash and use the vehicle every day without fuss.
For Johannesburg traffic, delivery work and service calls, a decal package is often the right middle ground. It is more visible than plain signwriting and less involved than a full wrap, which helps keep turnaround times and costs manageable. It works well for new business vehicles, branded fleet additions and older vehicles that still present well but need a cleaner corporate look.
- Cut vinyl logos and wording
- Single colour or two-colour graphics
- Door branding and rear contact details
- Small directional arrows or service icons
- Optional reflective elements for higher visibility
Sizes, Layouts and Finish Options
Decal packages are not one-size-fits-all. We size the artwork to suit the model of vehicle, the shape of the door pressings and the amount of flat space available. A standard set may include 400 mm to 800 mm door logos, 50 mm to 120 mm contact text, and rear branding sized for easy reading in traffic. Larger fleet vehicles can take bolder layouts, while smaller cars often need tighter spacing and simpler messaging.
Finish options include gloss, matt and satin vinyl in common corporate colours. If you want a cleaner look on darker paint, a light-colour logo and phone number can improve legibility. For light-colour vehicles, darker text often gives the best contrast. We also offer basic numbering for fleet control, unit codes and trailer or bakkie tailgate markings where needed.
- Compact door sets for cars and hatchbacks
- Full door logo plus contact strip for vans and bakkies
- Rear door or tailgate decals for delivery vehicles
- Fleet unit numbers and vehicle s identification marks
- Custom sizing to match panel shape and door handles
Where a Decal Package Works Best
This product suits businesses that need clear identification on the road and at the customer site. It is a good fit for plumbers, electricians, couriers, technicians, gardeners, security firms, mobile food operators, rental fleets and local service companies. If your vehicle is used in suburbs, industrial parks, estates or municipal areas, a well-planned decal package helps people see who you are and how to contact you.
It is also useful for companies that operate in different parts of Gauteng, the East Rand, Midrand, Sandton or Pretoria and want a common fleet standard. Decals make it easier to keep vehicles consistent across branches and crews. For coastal work in Durban or humid inland conditions, the material choice and edge finishing become important, especially where vehicles are washed often or parked outdoors.
- Daily service vehicles and work bakkies
- Small business fleets and contractor vehicles
- Delivery vans and local distribution cars
- Temporarily branded hire vehicles
- Vehicles that need a professional look on a sensible budget
Installation, Site Requirements and Power Needs
Decal installation is done on a clean, dry surface after proper surface preparation. We remove dirt, polish residue and road film, then position the artwork carefully before application. On most vehicles this is a straightforward fitting job and does not need special power or gas supply. If the vehicle is coming from paintwork or a fresh respray, curing time must be respected before fitting, otherwise adhesion can suffer.
At our Kya Sand base and at selected wrap bays nationwide, the process is planned around vehicle downtime so you can keep vehicles moving. For larger fleets, we can stagger units to suit operational schedules. If the vehicle is fitted on site, the area should be sheltered from dust, strong wind and direct rain. No electrical feed is normally required for decal work, although good lighting helps with accurate alignment.
- Clean, dry and fully cured paint surface required
- No dedicated electrical or gas supply needed
- Shade or indoor space recommended for fitting
- Vehicle should stand for the advised curing period after installation
- Fresh paint usually needs more time before application
Care, Washing and Ongoing Servicing
Decals are easy to live with, but they still need proper care. Wash the vehicle with clean water and a mild automotive soap. Avoid harsh thinners, strong degreasers and abrasive pads near the edges of the vinyl. High-pressure washing is acceptable if you keep the nozzle back from the decal edge and do not aim it directly into corners or joins.
For vehicles that run in dusty industrial areas or along coastal routes, regular cleaning helps the lettering last longer and keeps the message readable. Check the edges now and then, especially around door handles, fuel flaps and curved panels. If a decal gets damaged in a minor scrape, it can often be replaced without redoing the whole vehicle s branding. We also assist with removal when a vehicle changes owner, colour or role.
- Wash by hand when possible
- Do not scrub edges with hard brushes
- Keep pressure washer distance sensible
- Inspect after gravel damage or panel repairs
- Ask for touch-up or replacement sections if needed
What to Check Before You Order
To avoid delays and rework, check the wording, phone numbers and spelling before approval. A decal package is only useful if the contact details are correct and easy to read at speed. Make sure you know whether the vehicle number, branch name or service area should appear on both sides, only on the doors, or also on the rear.
It helps to confirm the vehicle make, model, year and body style so sizing is accurate. Also check the paint condition, especially if the vehicle has chips, repairs or a textured surface. If the vehicle is shared between teams, decide who signs off on layout changes. Our team in Kya Sand works with fleet managers, owners and operations staff to keep the ordering process practical from first quote to final fitting.
- Vehicle make, model and year
- Exact wording, numbers and branch details
- Preferred colours and logo placement
- Whether you need reflective or standard vinyl
- Installation timing and vehicle availability
