Vehicle Decal Specification Example for Agricultural Trailers: Fixed Type
Vehicle Decal Specification Example for Agricultural Trailers: Fixed Type
This is a worked specification for vehicle decal in a fixed type 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 fixed type version exists because the duty cycle on agricultural 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 | Agricultural Trailers |
| Version | Fixed Type |
| Base material | Forged Aluminium |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.5 mm |
| Finish | painted |
| MOQ | 1,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | E-mark |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Forged Aluminium, 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
- injection moulding
- surface grinding
- electroplating
- heat treatment
- cold forging
- anodising
Where this example applies
Programmes that run fixed type most often specify this build for agricultural trailers. Related applications include utility trailers, scooter fleets, passenger cars, fleet maintenance, emergency vehicles.
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 E-mark-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 1000 pieces per line.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. E-mark documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
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.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
