What Affects the Cost?
Amount of Text
Price follows the complete finished size, coverage and finish rather than a separate line count. A standard 24 × 8 in matching name-and-phone pair starts at CA$179.95.
Logo vs Text Only
Text-only lettering is cut from single-colour vinyl — clean, durable, and affordable. Logo graphics require full-colour printed vinyl, which costs more but gives you a complete brand presence on each door.
Vehicle Size
Standard pickup trucks and cargo vans use the base pricing above. Box trucks, trailers, and oversized vehicles may cost more due to larger lettering requirements. We quote based on your specific vehicle.
Reflective vs Standard Vinyl
Standard vinyl is included in all base pricing. Reflective vinyl (visible in headlights at night) is available for commercial vehicles and adds approximately 50% to the base price. Popular with fleet operators who drive at night.
DIY Install vs Professional Install
Every order includes everything you need to install it yourself. But here is how the options compare.
| DIY Install | Sign Shop Install | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free — included with every order | $150–$300 per vehicle at a sign shop |
| Time | 20-30 minutes | Drop off + pickup = 2-3 hours of your day |
| Tools needed | Squeegee (included) + rubbing alcohol | None — shop handles it |
| Skill level | Beginner-friendly. Instructions included. | N/A |
| Scheduling | Do it on your own time | Must book appointment, may wait 1-2 weeks |
| Quality | Same vinyl, same result | Same vinyl, same result |
Most of our customers install their own lettering. Trades people especially — you already have steady hands and an eye for straight lines.
How to Save Money on Truck Lettering
Order Online Instead of a Sign Shop
Local sign shops charge $300-$600 for basic door lettering because they include design time, shop overhead, and installation labour. One-door kits start at CA$89.95 and matching pairs start at CA$149.95 before optional finish and proof upgrades.
Install It Yourself
A sign shop charges $150-$300 for installation. Our lettering comes with transfer tape, alignment marks, a squeegee, and step-by-step instructions. Installation takes 20-30 minutes. You save the entire install fee.
Start With Text, Add Graphics Later
A standard 24 × 8 in matching name-and-phone pair starts at CA$179.95. You can always add a logo, rear window graphic, or tailgate lettering later. Start simple, upgrade as revenue grows.
Order Fleet Packages for Multiple Vehicles
Ordering matching lettering for 3+ vehicles gets you volume pricing. We create a master template and cut identical sets for each vehicle. Consistent branding at a lower per-vehicle cost.
Save $200-$500+
Ordering online + DIY install vs a local sign shop. Same vinyl. Same result. Fraction of the cost.

Our recommendation: Start with door lettering. It is the highest-ROI marketing investment for trades businesses. If your revenue grows to the point where a full wrap makes sense, we can help with that too — contact us for a quote.
