Vehicle Decal Specification Example for Light Trucks: Vented Design
Vehicle Decal Specification Example for Light Trucks: Vented Design
This is a worked specification for vehicle decal in a vented design 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 vented design version exists because the duty cycle on light trucks is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a supplier who changed material without saying so.
Example specification
| Item | Vehicle Decal |
|---|---|
| Application | Light Trucks |
| Version | Vented Design |
| Base material | EPDM Rubber |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.5 mm |
| Finish | as machined |
| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | TUV |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — EPDM Rubber, 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
- ultrasonic cleaning
- anodising
- cold forging
- shot blasting
- CNC machining
- laser cutting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run vented design most often specify this build for light trucks. Related applications include boat trailers, assembly programmes, utility trailers, agricultural trailers, city buses.
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
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the TUV-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 2000 pieces per line.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. TUV documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
