Commercial Vehicle Lettering Requirements in the 5 boroughs of NYC
Recently, I was asked about the Legal Lettering on a commercial vehicle in NYC. If you are a business owner with a commercial vehicle you may be wondering the same thing. What is the law ? What does the law require for me to posted on a vehicle if i am in the 5 boroughs of New York?
It may be surprising for you to know that the law requires only your business address on the doors of the commercial vehicle, nothing else. The law does not require for you to have your phone number or even your business name on the vehicle. If you have a vehicle with commercial plates you are required by law to have your address permanently posted on that vehicle in 3" high letters, that is it. (You can certainly add the business name and phone number but that is only optional).
Granted, a lot of people think 3” high letters may seem a bit extreme and on certain vehicles even gaudy - but we here at Vinyl Images do our best to make the vehicle lettering pleasing to the eye and attractive for the particular vehicle itself. Whether you prefer your lettering subtle or shouting your name to everything in between - we pride ourselves in making that happen for you ! Who says even one line of text with your address needs to be boring ? Who says we can only use Helvetica bold LOL ? Not Vinyl images ! The more unique the better.
Your Image is an essential part of your business and here at Vinyl Images we give you the image you prefer while we keep your vehicle legal under the requirements of the law.
And you can opt to have your business name and logo and even your phone number added to the address on the vehicle doors - usually at no extra charge.
And why use one color ? Only if you want to. But if you think 2 colors or even 3 will make your lettering pop then we agree - again - no extra charge -
We like to go the extra mile here at Vinyl images.
