How Do You Mark a Delivery Entrance With Decals?

Delivery Entrance Decal Questions, Answered

What's the best material for a door decal that stays outside year-round?

For doors exposed to sun, rain, or cold, go with Premium Vinyl, rated for up to 7 years outdoors. Standard Vinyl is a solid budget option for a 3 to 5 year lifespan on covered entrances. 3M Control Tac (rated for 8 to 10 years) is a wrap-grade cast vinyl, so save it for corrugated, riveted, or textured dock doors where flatter vinyl won't conform. Read our breakdown of sticker and decal materials to match the material to your door's exposure.

What size should a receiving door decal be so drivers can actually read it?

Most receiving door decals run 8 to 18 inches wide so text is readable from 10 to 15 feet away, which is about how far a driver stands while checking a clipboard or phone. Our decal sizing runs from 2x2 inches up to 120x50 inches, so you can scale up for larger dock doors or down for a compact glass-door notice.

Can I add my own wording and logo to a doorbell decal?

Yes. You can upload your logo, pick your wording (such as "Deliveries: Please Ring Bell" or "Use Side Door for Deliveries"), and choose a custom shape through our online designer. Circle and custom die-cut shapes work well for bell or buzzer signage since they draw the eye to one spot on the door.

How much does a custom delivery door decal cost?

Pricing depends on size, material, and cut style. Standard Vinyl is the base option; Premium Vinyl and 3M Control Tac Vinyl cost more, and kiss-cut or transfer cut can change the price depending on the application method you need. Orders of 50 or more units for multiple locations qualify for tiered bulk pricing.

How long does it take to get a delivery entrance decal printed and shipped?

Standard production is 3 business days. If you need signage up fast, Express (2 business days) and Priority (1 business day) options are available for an added cost, and Saver (5 business days) is there if you're not in a rush. Orders approved after 5pm CST are processed the next business day. None of these times include shipping.

How do I install a decal on a metal, glass, or painted delivery door?

Clean the surface thoroughly, let it dry completely, then apply using the squeegee method to avoid air bubbles. Glass doors pair well with clear window decals since the background disappears and only your printed message shows. Our step-by-step installation guide walks through application on flat and slightly textured surfaces.

Will a door decal hold up against rain, sun, and freezing temperatures?

Our vinyl decals are built for outdoor use, with lamination that resists fading, cracking, and moisture. Premium and 3M Control Tac materials hold up longest in harsh climates. To get the most life out of your decal, check our tips on preventing damage to vinyl decals, especially around snow removal and pressure washing near entrances.
