Fleet & Commercial
One branded truck gets you noticed. Four that match get you taken seriously. The difference between a fleet and a few trucks with stickers is consistency — and consistency is a filing problem as much as a design one.
What's covered
Whether it's two units or twenty.
Multi-vehicle branding programs
One layout, adapted to each body style so the whole fleet reads as one outfit rather than four separate jobs.
Business vehicle branding
Name, trade, phone and licence numbers laid out so they're legible from the next lane, not just up close.
Fleet decal kits & partial wraps
The middle ground. Most of the visual weight of a wrap, at a cost that works across several units.
Dealer promotional decals
Lot graphics, window pricing and delivery decals — the short-notice work dealerships tend to need.
Fleet refresh & updates
New number, new website, a unit sold off. We hold your artwork, so changes are simple and they match what's already out there.
New units, later
Add a truck in two years and it comes out matching the first one — same layout, same materials, same placement.
Materials
Matching across units is the hard part.
Getting one vehicle right is straightforward. Getting the fifth one to match the first — two years later, on a different body style, after a material change — is where fleet work is actually won or lost.
Printed vinyl
Photographic and gradient workAnything with a photo, a gradient or more than a couple of colours gets printed and laminated. Colour is repeatable batch to batch when the file and the profile stay the same.
- Handles any artwork complexity
- Consistent when the file is controlled
- Laminate chosen for the exposure
- Best for full-colour logos and imagery
Cut vinyl
Solid colour lettering and shapesSolid-colour film cut to shape — no print, no laminate. Sharper edges, longer life, and the sensible choice for lettering and simple marks.
- Crisper edges than printed equivalents
- Longer outdoor life
- Ideal for names, numbers, phone and web
- Cheaper per unit at fleet quantities
Printed vinyl and cut vinyl are made by different processes and will never match each other perfectly. If your layout mixes both — and most fleet layouts do — we'll tell you where that shows up before it's on the truck, not after.
We keep your artwork, panel measurements and material spec on file for every unit we do. That's not a courtesy — it's the only way the fourth truck matches the first, and it's why repeat fleet work costs less than the first one did.
What it costs
Priced per unit, quoted as a program.
Fleet work isn't just the same job multiplied. Some of what you pay for on the first vehicle — layout, artwork, working out what fits around the door handles — doesn't repeat on units two through six. That should show up in the quote, and it does.
- Number of unitsAnd how many are the same body style. Five identical F-250s is a very different job from five different vehicles.
- Coverage per vehicleDoor decals, partial, or full. It can vary across the fleet — flagship unit wrapped, the rest lettered.
- Artwork statusPrint-ready vector, or something that needs building from scratch.
- SchedulingWhether units come in together or one at a time as they're free. Both work; they cost differently.
We come and measure. On a mixed fleet that visit usually pays for itself — body styles that look interchangeable from the road rarely have the same usable panel.

How the job runs
Four steps, and one of them is yours.
We measure the fleet
We come to you and measure each body style once. Panels, obstacles, usable space — recorded so it never has to be done again.
Design & proof
One layout, adapted per body style, proofed before anything is printed. Design is a paid step and a line item on your quote — on fleet work it's the part that makes the whole thing look deliberate.
Production
Approved artwork goes into production on the material we specced, laminated for the job it has to do, then ships to Bridge Lake.
Install, unit by unit
Booked around your schedule. Most vehicles are back with you the same day.
Timeline Fleet jobs move at the speed of your operations more than ours. We'll book installs around when each unit can actually be off the road, and we won't confirm dates until production and freight are locked. If you're pulling several units at once, tell us early — it changes how we sequence the whole thing.

Questions we get asked
The ones that come up every time.
Do all our vehicles have to be done at once?
No, and most aren't. Fleets usually come through one or two at a time as units can be spared. Because we hold your artwork and measurements, a truck done next spring will match the ones done this fall.
What if we add a vehicle in two years?
That's the normal case, and it's the reason we keep files. New unit, same layout, same materials, same placement. It costs less than the first one did, and nobody can tell which was done when.
How long is each vehicle off the road?
Most decal kits and partials are a same-day job. Full wraps need longer, and in cold months the vehicle needs to be somewhere warm enough for the vinyl to bond. We'll give you a realistic window per unit rather than an optimistic one.
Can you match the graphics on trucks another shop did?
Usually close, sometimes exactly — it depends what we have to work from. If you can get the original artwork files, we can match properly. Working from photos of an existing truck we can get near, but we'll be honest about the gap before you commit.
What about leased vehicles?
Worth telling us upfront. On a lease you'll likely want everything to come off cleanly at end of term, which affects what we recommend — and magnets or a lighter decal kit sometimes make more sense than anything permanent.
Do you handle licence and DOT numbers?
Yes. Regulated markings have size and placement requirements, and they're easy to get subtly wrong. We'll lay them out to spec as part of the job.
