Bumper Stickers Designed to Be Read From the Car Behind

Short messages made for the back of a vehicle

A bumper sticker has one job: to get a message across in the few seconds another driver spends behind you at the lights. Businesses use them to share a web address, clubs and schools use them to show support, campaigners use them to spread a slogan, and plenty of people simply want a joke or a cause on the back of their car.

Where bumper stickers earn their place

• Promoting a trade, shop or online store to local traffic.
• Community fundraisers, charity rides and awareness drives.
• Sporting clubs and school supporter groups.
• Local and election campaigns wanting a message on many cars at once.
• Personal slogans, humour and in-jokes.

Format and shape

The classic bumper sticker is a wide rectangle, but the category also offers square, round, oval, octagon and hexagon versions, plus die cut stickers trimmed around the artwork. A rectangle gives the most room for a slogan on a single line. Round and oval shapes suit an emblem with a short line of text, and a die cut outline can work well for a mascot or logo on a tailgate.

Planning the order

Before requesting a quote, decide who will apply the stickers. If they are going out to supporters, choose a size that fits most bumpers, including those on smaller hatchbacks. If they are for your own vehicles, measure each one. Election material may need authorisation details under the rules that apply to your campaign, so confirm the wording with your campaign team before you order.

For designs on doors or side panels, car stickers offer more placement options, while window stickers cover glass specifically.
