Product Description

Bumper stickers are more than just an advertising tool – they’re a classic of pop culture. Durable bumper stickers designed for outdoor use have been used to decorate millions of car bumpers and windscreens and are the best choice for virtually any type of car sticker.

But printing bumper stickers is not just for cars. They are often used on laptops, bicycle frames, office equipment, file cabinets, suitcases, bags, suitcases and more. Bumper stickers are not only for drivers. Thanks to our selection of shapes and stocks, it is very easy to find the right combination for any application. The classic rectangular bumper sticker offers plenty of space for logos and text statements and is ideal for placing on any smooth surface that has enough width to accommodate, for example, laptops and, of course, bumpers. We recommend applying UV coating to any stickers on cars and other vehicles. Their length makes them ideal for slogans, jokes and political statements.

Bumper Stickers FAQs

What sizes do your bumper stickers come in?

Three standard sizes: 3" x 10", 4" x 8", and 4" x 12".

Are these bumper stickers outdoor- and car-wash safe?

Yes, printed on weatherproof vinyl with UV-resistant inks; with proper adhesion cure (24–48 hours), they’re car-wash safe and resist sun, rain, and road grime.

What adhesive do you use, and will it harm my car’s paint?

Permanent acrylic adhesive designed for OEM automotive clear coats; apply to clean, fully cured paint. For removal, warm with a hair dryer and peel slowly; remove residue with citrus adhesive remover. Not recommended on matte wraps or fresh repaint (<30 days).

How are they printed, will photos and gradients reproduce well?

Full-color CMYK digital printing for short runs ensures smooth gradients and photo detail. Supply high-res files (300 dpi at size) with 0.125" bleed and vector text outlined for best results.

What quantities can I order?

Standard quantities from 50 to 1,000 per size. Higher volumes are available, request a custom quote.

What’s the production turnaround?

Standard production is 2 business days; allow 2–4 business days for larger runs or during peak load. Transit time is additional.

Do you offer finishing options like lamination or protective coating?

Yes, gloss or matte lamination is available to boost UV, scratch, and chemical resistance, extending outdoor life on vehicles.
