Vehicle Decal Specification Example for Utility Trailers: Two-Piece Construction
Vehicle Decal Specification Example for Utility Trailers: Two-Piece Construction
This is a worked specification for vehicle decal in a two-piece construction programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The two-piece construction version exists because the duty cycle on utility trailers is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.
Example specification
| Item | Vehicle Decal |
|---|---|
| Application | Utility Trailers |
| Version | Two-Piece Construction |
| Base material | PU Leather |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| Finish | powder coated |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | SAE J431 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — PU Leather, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- surface grinding
- ultrasonic cleaning
- precision stamping
- robot welding
- gravity casting
- sintering
Where this example applies
Programmes that run two-piece construction most often specify this build for utility trailers. Related applications include utility trailers, fleet maintenance, light trucks, workshop replacements, export programmes.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 10 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 200 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
