School Fundraising Decals: Turn School Spirit Into Real Dollars

Questions Schools and Teams Ask Before Ordering Fundraising Decals

What material should we pick for a car decal fundraiser?

For bumpers, rear windows, and back windshields, choose a permanent vinyl option so the decal survives weather, car washes, and road grime for the full season or school year. Removable (glossy or matte) vinyl works well for laptops, water bottles, and indoor surfaces where supporters may want to swap decals out later. If you're selling through Custom Logo Stickers, both permanent and removable glossy or matte finishes are available, so you can stock one version for cars and a lighter-tack version for gear.

How long do school fundraising decals actually last outdoors?

Permanent glossy or matte vinyl is rated for up to 5 years of outdoor exposure when applied correctly, while removable options typically hold up for 1 to 3 years. That range covers full seasons of sun, rain, and highway driving, which matters for car decal fundraisers where supporters expect their purchase to last through graduation or a full athletic season.

What sizes and layouts work best for sticker sheets sold at a fundraiser?

Most booster clubs sell sticker sheets in the standard 8.5" x 11" format because it fits a full set of mascots, jersey numbers, grade years, and sponsor logos on one sheet that's easy to display, bag, and price individually. Custom Sticker Sheets use this sheet size and can be kiss-cut or die-cut, so students can peel off one shape at a time instead of buying a single large decal.

Do you offer bulk pricing for large fundraiser orders?

Yes. Orders of 50 units or more move into tiered bulk pricing, which lowers the per-unit cost as quantity goes up. This is the pricing structure most booster clubs and athletic departments use when ordering hundreds of sheets or decals for a season-long sale rather than a single event.

Can we use our own school or team artwork, or do you provide templates?

You can upload your own mascot, crest, or team logo artwork directly, or build a layout using the online designer, which lays out shapes and text on a sheet without needing a graphic designer on staff. For tips on preparing clean, print-ready files before you upload, our guide on custom decal design best practices covers resolution, color, and sizing so your mascot doesn't come out blurry or miscut.

How fast can we get decals before a fundraiser deadline?

Standard production is 3 business days, and rush options are available as fast as 1 business day for orders that need to hit a specific game date, pep rally, or open house. Keep in mind production time is separate from shipping time, so order with that buffer in mind when a deadline is fixed.

How do students and parents apply the decals once they buy them?

Application is simple peel-and-stick. Clean the surface, peel the backing, and press the decal into place, smoothing from the center outward to avoid air bubbles. No special tools or heat guns are required for standard vinyl decals and sticker sheets, which is why they work well as a fundraiser item families can apply themselves at home rather than needing drop-off installation.
