Automotive Printing Collection

Automotive Printing For The Desk, The Lot And The Loaner

This collection covers the five pieces a dealership, body shop or detailer puts to work between the service desk and the street. 4OVER4.COM has printed for more than 150,000 businesses since 1999.

Cards, Banners, Flags, Signs And Decals

Automotive Business Cards, in four sizes from a 2 by 2 square to the standard 2 by 3.5 inches plus a custom size, do the close-up work at the sales desk and the parts counter. Automotive Banners and Automotive Flags, with a stake or cross base, carry your name across the lot. Automotive Signs anchor the showroom and the service bay, and Automotive Decals go on windows, loaners and other smooth surfaces.

Dealerships, Body Shops And Detailers

On the dealership side, every rep needs a stack of cards, and a 16pt soft touch or 24pt ultra thick card feels more solid than a thin one. Add a 3 by 8 foot banner on the fence and 11 foot flags along the frontage.

A body shop or collision center can hang signs in the waiting room that explain estimates and warranties, and a mobile detailer can leave cards on a doorstep after a job. A parts store or tire shop running a seasonal sale needs storefront signs in bold, high-contrast type that a driver can read from the road.

Contrast, One Next Step And Outdoor Stock

Showrooms, outdoor lots and bright service bays wash out timid colors, so use bold brand colors on clean backgrounds that read from across the room.

Give every piece one clear next step, such as booking a test drive or calling for a free estimate, and put it where nobody can miss it. For anything that lives outside, pick the outdoor stock on the product page, such as the weatherproof polypropylene for signs. Keep the same logo, colors and fonts across your cards, signs and banners.

Samples First, Then A Dated Order

Automotive work runs on deadlines, and a banner that lands Monday does nothing for a Saturday sale. Not sure which stock or finish suits your brand? Order free samples, which ship free, and feel the difference before you commit to a full run.

Every order is backed by five guarantees covering quality, price match, on time every time, customer service and ultimate satisfaction, and each order earns coins in the Loyalty Program toward the next one.

What an Auto Business Orders Through the Year

Automotive print runs on a calendar rather than a single order. A sales floor turns over and every new hire needs a stack of cards on day one, so order Automotive Business Cards in a run covering the next two quarters instead of one name at a time.

The lot moves with the season. Automotive Banners and Automotive Flags can change for spring sales, summer clearance, year end and the promotions in between, so plan them as four sets and send the artwork together. Automotive Signs sit still by comparison, showroom and service bay pieces that stay up until the branding changes. Automotive Decals go on as vehicles arrive, loaners, shuttles and the owner's own truck, so hold a reserve rather than reordering five at a time.

Keeping Lot Print Alive Through the Seasons

Everything on a lot is weathered from the day it goes up. Check banner grommets and tie points monthly and move a banner off a fence line where it flaps in the wind, since a banner snapping all winter tears at the corner.

Flags wear from the fly end inward, so rotate them and replace the set rather than hanging one tired flag beside five fresh ones. Before a decal goes on, wash and dry the panel, work in shade rather than on hot paint in direct sun, and give a new decal a day before the vehicle goes through a wash. Choose repositionable vinyl for a decal that will come off later.

Can I order the same design as both a banner and a flag?

Yes. The artwork carries across, but each format needs its own setup, because a flag is tall and narrow while a banner is wide, so the logo and the headline sit differently in each. Flags take 4 business days and banners 3, so order both by the flag date to have the pair up for the same weekend.
