Decal Production Timeline

Timeline of VIN Compliance Decal Production – Approximately 4 to 6 weeks.

We have recently had inquiries by potential customers and purchasers as to why a 4-6 week timeline is required to produce our Vin Compliance decals. Please note that each decal consists of different information, layout, color and hence each in its own right becomes a custom decal. As custom printers, all of our job orders are processed in the order than they are received.  All job orders have a six stage process. Decal Restores goal is to complete each customers order as soon as possible, and rest assured, we work towards this goal on a daily basis by endeavoring to complete each stage of the process in the shortest time possible.

The six stages involved to complete a custom VIN compliance decal”

1) A graphic designer begins the mock-up process of the Vin decal.

2) The completed mock-up then has an individual print mold manufactured which is unique to each decal.

3) The print mold is then queued for printing.

4) The decal is printed and die-cut.

5) The dot matrix machine is set to punch the Build Date and VIN.

6) ‘Tamper resistant circle pattern’ stamped over decal if ordered.

Decal Restore values its customers, and wishes to thank them for their patience, including understanding our timeline to produce these detailed decals. Email us at decalrestore@gmail.com to discuss your decal needs.

Maybe you could speed things up if you made a batch of each type decal (there really aren’t that many variations)? Then you would only have to prep the dot-matrix punching. I expect that having a supply on hand would drum up more business and significantly decrease production lead time.

Hi Kent,

We wish! The challenge is vehicle weights change depending on how the car is optioned. Also the decal part number (lower right hand corner) changes with each model. So for a true replica each decal must be custom made.

Take care,
Kerry
