Material guidance
Gloss vinyl is the standard bumper material — UV-stable and wash-safe. Removable vinyl versions peel off clean, which measurably increases how many people actually apply them.
Artwork requirements
PDF, EPS, AI, PNG, or JPG up to 50 MB. Vector files print sharpest at large sizes; raster files should be 150 DPI at final print size. Full specs on the artwork guidelines page. Not sure your file works? Upload it anyway — we check every file before proofing, and design help is $45.00 flat if it needs cleanup.

Popular picks
The 10″ × 3″ that built a medium
The classic bumper sticker format exists because it works: big enough to read at a stoplight, small enough to fit any bumper. Ours print on UV-stable gloss vinyl with rounded corners standard — the detail that keeps edges from lifting at highway speed. Campaigns, causes, bands, punchlines, and phone numbers have run this format for seventy years because following traffic reads it all day.
Order the removable version for giveaways
Here is the giveaway math nobody mentions: people apply stickers they know they can remove. The removable-vinyl version costs slightly more per piece and multiplies how many actually end up on cars instead of in junk drawers. At the 100+ tier the price halves, so a 250-piece giveaway box is cheaper than one month of a small paid ad — and it drives around town.
What makes a bumper sticker readable at 40 mph
Six words or fewer, letters at least 1″ tall, and hard contrast — dark text on light background or the reverse. A bumper sticker is read in about two seconds of following distance; clever dies at word seven. High-contrast two-color designs consistently out-place full-color art in this format. Send your wording and we will typeset it properly under the flat design-help fee if you don't have artwork.
Campaigns, causes, and fundraisers
Political campaigns and advocacy groups are this format's heaviest users, and the logistics matter: rounded corners survive weather, removable vinyl multiplies application rates, and the 100+ quantity tier is where a giveaway budget stretches furthest. Fundraisers flip the model — sell them at markup and the print cost disappears after the first box. Either way, order early; every campaign reorders.

Bumper Stickers — common questions
What is the standard bumper sticker size?
10″ × 3″ is the classic; 9″ × 3″ and 11.5″ × 3″ are common variants. All are presets on this page — or type any size the calculator allows.
Do they come off without wrecking the paint?
Removable vinyl: yes, by hand, clean. Permanent gloss vinyl removes from factory bumper paint with heat, but plastic bumpers repainted or aged can be touchy — removable is the safe default for giveaways.
How many should I order for a giveaway?
The pricing tiers answer this: at 100+ the per-piece price is half the single rate. For events, 100–250 pieces is the sweet spot between cost and leftovers.
Rounded or square corners?
Rounded corners are standard on bumper stickers — they resist peeling at the edges. Square-corner cuts are available; just note it in your order.
Can I sell bumper stickers I order from you?
Yes — the artwork is yours, the stickers are yours to sell. Fundraisers and merch tables do this constantly. You are responsible for owning the rights to the design.
Do you print offensive or political content?
Political viewpoints, yes — decals for campaigns and causes across the spectrum are a core use of this product. We decline unlawful and infringing content; see the terms of service.
