Three generations of New Jersey trucks

Pickups, vans, box trucks, heavy equipment, trailers, signs and the odd vending machine.

What you are looking at

Every photograph on this page is a real job, photographed at the customer’s yard or job site after we fitted it — not a rendering and not a stock image. The lighting is whatever the weather was doing that day.

That is deliberate. Vehicle graphics look uniformly excellent in a studio render and tell you nothing about how the work survives contact with a real panel: how the film sits over rivets, how a layout reads on a dirty truck in flat light, whether the edges are still down after a winter.

The range is broad because the work is: pickups and service trucks, box trucks and trailers, excavators and loaders, dumpsters and containers, storefronts, windows and site boards. Different vehicles, the same materials and the same preparation.

Want something similar?

Send a photograph of your own vehicle and describe what you want it to say. We will lay the design out on your actual truck and send it back before anything is cut.

It is easier to work from an example. If a job on this page is close to what you are after, say which one — it saves a lot of describing, and it tells us the level of coverage and the material you are picturing.

How to read a lettering photograph

Look at the edges, the spacing and the curve. A clean job has no lifted corners, even letter spacing that stays even across a door seam, and vinyl that follows body lines instead of fighting them. Those three things are visible in a photograph; price is not.

Edges are where a vinyl job fails first, and where a photograph tells the truth. Film laid over grease, dust or a cold panel lifts at the corners within a season, and the corner is the part a camera picks up. If the corners in a photograph are flat and tight against the paint, the surface underneath was prepared properly.

Spacing is the part sign painters call letterfitting, and it is the reason two identical fonts can read completely differently on the same truck. Letters are not spaced by equal gaps; they are spaced so the area between them looks equal, which means an A next to a V sits closer than an H next to an N. Software does not do this well on its own. When a name reads smoothly at a glance rather than as a row of separate characters, somebody adjusted it.

The curve matters on anything that is not a flat panel — cab corners, tailgates, rounded box edges, the compound curve over a wheel arch. Vinyl can be persuaded around all of these, but only with heat, patience and film chosen for it. Graphics that stop just short of a curve, or that wrinkle as they cross one, are the shortcut.

What a photograph cannot tell you is how long the vehicle was off the road, whether the shop came to the yard, or what the job cost. Those are the questions worth asking us directly.

What kind of work shows up in here

Mostly working vehicles: contractor pickups, box trucks, service vans, landscaping trailers and equipment. Alongside those, the shop signs, banners and window lettering the same customers order once the vehicles are done.

Contractor pickups and vans

Door lettering, phone numbers, license numbers and USDOT markings on trucks that work every day. The most common job we do. Truck lettering.

Box trucks and straight trucks

Large panels, which means the design decision is how much of that panel to use. Partial wraps and full wraps both live here. Vehicle wraps.

Fleets in numbered sets

Ten identical trucks with unit numbers, lettered in one visit at the yard rather than one at a time. Fleet lettering.

Trailers and equipment

Landscaping trailers, dumpsters, skid steers and mowers, marked so they can be identified on site and on camera. Custom signs.

Shop and site signage

Building signs, site boards, window lettering and door graphics for the same businesses. Indoor & outdoor lettering.

Banners and event graphics

Job-site banners, sponsorship banners and temporary signage, printed on material sized to how long it has to last. Banners.

Gallery questions

Are these photographs of your own work?

Yes. Everything shown was lettered, wrapped or printed by us, most of it at the customer’s own yard.

Can you reproduce something you have done for someone else?

We can work in the same style and use the same methods, but we will not copy another business’s design, name or marks. Bring us a photograph of what you like and we will design something that is yours.

Do you have work in my town?

Very probably. We cover eight New Jersey counties on a normal schedule — pick your service area and ask.

Will my truck be photographed?

Only if you are happy for it to be. We ask before a job goes in the gallery, and a vehicle can be left out or removed later without any fuss.
