Vehicle Graphics & Magnets in Sacramento
Your work van drives past thousands of people a day. We design, print, and cut the lettering that makes those miles count, right here at 1835 Fulton Ave, with a proof in your hands before anything touches the vehicle.
Vans, trucks, trailers, and the doors in between
- Handyman, plumbing, and HVAC vans that need services and phone numbers readable at a stoplight
- Appliance repair and service trucks showing the brands they work on
- Enclosed trailers turned into rolling billboards for contractors and mobile businesses
- Magnetic door signs for personal trucks that go back to being personal on weekends
- Real estate and delivery vehicles that change use, leases, or drivers
- QR codes on the back doors so the driver behind you can scan while parked
- Fleet lettering kept consistent across every vehicle you add
Lettering, printed graphics, or magnets: picking what goes on the vehicle
| What goes on the vehicle | Best for | Good to know | How it's priced |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cut vinyl lettering | Company name, phone, services, license numbers on doors and rear | Individual letters cut from solid-color vinyl; clean, classic, and the most budget-friendly way to letter a work vehicle | $7 per sq ft of finished graphic |
| Printed vinyl graphics | Logos, photos, gradients, and multi-color artwork | Full-color print on adhesive vinyl, so your actual logo goes on the van instead of a simplified version | $7 per sq ft of finished graphic |
| Magnetic signs | Doors of leased, shared, or part-time work vehicles | Full-color printed magnets go on and come off in seconds; store them flat and clean, never fold them | Quoted at the counter |
| Full vehicle packages | Both sides plus rear doors, lettering and graphics together, matching apparel | Sized to your exact vehicle panels from measurements or photos | Quoted fast and free |
- A proof of the layout on your actual vehicle before anything prints
- Design help from our desk, working from your card, logo, photos, or a sample you like
- Your art kept on file, so the next vehicle or replacement magnet is one phone call
- A real person on the phone during business hours, and easy parking in the rear for drop-offs
What vehicle lettering costs, worked out in square feet
Vinyl print and lettering: $7 per square foot of finished graphic.
Example: a 2x8 ft lettering run down one side of a van = 16 sq ft × $7 = $112.
Magnets and full vehicle packages are quoted at the counter, fast and free, and quotes are good for 30 days.
“Ace is my go to for my printing needs. They have done business cards, raffle tickets, yard signs, and even vinyl graphics for business van. Can't recommend them enough.”
From parking lot to lettered van
Talk through the vehicle
Call, or pull around back and walk in. We ask what the vehicle does, who needs to read it, and from how far away, then look at photos or the vehicle itself.
Measure and mock it up
We size the layout to your actual door and panel dimensions, not a generic template, and our design desk can build the art from your card, logo, or a photo of a sign you already like.
Approve the proof
You see exactly what will go on the vehicle before we print. If we ever miss versus the proof you approved, we reprint it free.
Print and cut it here
The owner's own statement: 95% of what we sell is made in-house on Fulton Ave. That's why revisions and reprints don't disappear into someone else's queue.
Install it or hand it off
Magnets you take with you. Lettering and graphics are applied by appointment on a timeline we quote when you order, since vehicle work is fitted to each job rather than rushed through a same-day window.
Jobs like yours, already on the wall.
AFG Handyman Service: a Ford Transit that answers questions before the phone rings
Full vinyl lettering package on a white Transit: company name, tagline, a list of services down the side, two phone numbers, and a QR code so anyone parked behind it can scan straight to the business. We printed matching polo shirts for the crew, so the person who steps out of the van looks like they belong to it.
Quality Repair Services: brand logos doing the selling
Appliance repair customers want to know you work on their brand before they call. This van lettering package puts the appliance-brand logos right on the vehicle alongside two phone numbers, so the van parked in a driveway reassures the whole street. The ladder rack still clears everything; graphics are laid out around how the vehicle actually gets used.
FROM THE WORK WALL
Real vehicle graphics jobs.
Why the second van always comes back to Fulton Ave
The proof protects you
Nothing gets applied to a $40,000 vehicle on a guess. You approve the layout first, and if we err against that approved proof, the reprint is on us. Defects reported within seven days get a reprint or refund.
Made on the premises, not brokered out
95% of our products are made in-house, the owner's own words. When your van is sitting in our lot, the people printing and cutting your graphics are in the same building.
Customers come back with the next vehicle
Angel M on Google started "first with business cards, then some cool magnets for my truck and now some very cool graphics and lettering for my trailer!" Casey L. on Yelp ordered "business cards, raffle tickets, yard signs, and even vinyl graphics for business van." That progression is our whole business model.
Your art stays on file
Add a second van next year and it will match the first one exactly, from one phone call. Businesses that reorder regularly can set up a trade account with priority turnaround and monthly invoicing.
Same-day starts before 10 AM.

Questions drivers ask at our counter
How much does it cost to letter a work van?
Vinyl print and lettering is $7 per square foot of finished graphic, so a 2x8 ft run of lettering along one side is $112. Most vans combine several elements, so we quote the full package at the counter, fast and free, and the quote is good for 30 days.
Should I get magnets or permanent lettering?
Magnets suit leased vehicles, shared vehicles, or trucks that are personal on weekends, because they come off in seconds. Permanent lettering costs less over time, can cover more of the vehicle, and never blows off or gets left in the garage. Plenty of customers start with magnets and move to lettering once the business settles into one vehicle.
Can you make my graphics from a business card or an old photo?
Yes. Our design desk builds art from samples and photos all the time, so bring in your card, a photo of your old truck, or a competitor's look you want to beat. You approve a proof before anything prints.
Do vehicle graphics get same-day turnaround?
Vehicle graphics are one of the jobs we quote a timeline for rather than run through our standard same-day window, because they are measured and fitted to your specific vehicle. Simpler items like magnets move faster; call (916) 944-7195 and we will give you a real date when you order.
Will vinyl lettering damage my paint?
Quality vehicle vinyl is designed to be removable and behaves well on sound factory paint. Repainted, oxidized, or damaged surfaces are less predictable, so tell us about the vehicle's history and we will look at it before quoting.
Do you do trailers and box trucks too?
Yes. Flat trailer walls are actually the easiest surface we work with and give you the most billboard for your money. One longtime customer came in for business cards, added truck magnets, then had us letter the trailer.
Do I need any kind of permit for vehicle graphics?
Sacramento does not require a sign permit for graphics on your own vehicle the way it does for building signage. What matters more is your own trade's rules: some California licensing boards require certain information, like a contractor license number, displayed on commercial vehicles. Confirm your board's requirement and we will set it at a size that stays legible.
What happens when I add a second vehicle?
We keep your files on record, so the next van matches the first from one phone call, even years later. Businesses that reorder can open a trade account: art on file, priority turnaround, and a monthly invoice instead of paying per job.
