Vehicle Decal Specification Example for Three-Wheelers: Sealed Unit
Vehicle Decal Specification Example for Three-Wheelers: Sealed Unit
This is a worked specification for vehicle decal in a sealed unit 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 sealed unit version exists because the duty cycle on three-wheelers is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually lead time that slipped twice before bulk started.

- Fix the base material in writing — Titanium Alloy, 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
- die casting
- assembly line testing
- anodising
- shot blasting
- cold forging
- electroplating
Where this example applies
Programmes that run sealed unit most often specify this build for three-wheelers. Related applications include long-haul trucks, delivery vans, aftermarket retail, municipal fleets, light trucks.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 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 is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
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.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
