Trailer Lettering is custom-cut vinyl lettering and graphics made specifically for the exterior of trailers. Whether you're lettering a work trailer, cargo hauler, landscaping rig, or horse trailer, this is a straightforward way to add your business name, contact info, or custom design directly to the side of your trailer. Enter the size of the area where you plan to apply your lettering, build your design in our tool, and we'll cut it to shape and ship it ready to apply.

How is Trailer Lettering different from regular vinyl lettering?
Trailer Lettering is sized and built for large exterior surfaces. The standard canvas sizes reflect the kind of space you'd typically letter on the side of a cargo, utility, or work trailer. The vinyl is high-performance with a laminate finish rated for 3 to 5 years of outdoor exposure, including road conditions.
How does the transfer tape work?
Your lettering arrives sandwiched between a protective paper backing and a transfer tape on top. The transfer tape holds your letters in proper position and spacing. When you're ready to apply, peel off the backing, press the lettering onto your clean trailer surface, smooth it down, then peel away the transfer tape — leaving just your lettering behind. The vinyl adhesive is stronger than the tape, so the letters stay put.
What size should I enter when ordering?
Enter the size of the area on your trailer where you plan to place the lettering — not the size of the letters themselves. Once inside the design tool, you can fill that space with as much or as little text and graphics as you want. The final cut pieces will match what you build in the tool.
Will trailer lettering hold up in Florida weather?
Yes. The high-performance vinyl with laminate is rated for 3 to 5 years of outdoor durability, including heat, humidity, UV exposure, and rain — all conditions common in Florida. For best results, clean the trailer surface thoroughly before application and avoid applying in direct sunlight or extreme heat.
Can I use Trailer Lettering on other vehicles besides trailers?
Yes. While this product is designed for trailer applications, the same vinyl works on any smooth, clean exterior surface — including the sides of vans, box trucks, utility vehicles, and equipment.
Do I need any special tools to apply the lettering?
No special tools are required, but a squeegee helps smooth out air bubbles and ensures good adhesion. We also carry application fluid and prep fluid if you want to make the installation process easier, especially on larger pieces. You can find those in our vinyl application accessories section.
