What Are Rear Window Graphics?

What Are Rear Window Graphics?

Rear window graphics (also known as perforated car window decals) are specialized decals designed for your vehicle’s rear and side windows. These decals are made using perforated vinyl, a type of vinyl made with tiny holes called micropunctures which makes 50% of the material. The perforation allows the design on the decal to be visible from the outside and see-through from the inside.

Using rear window graphics is a great way to advertise your business or show off a custom design while maintaining clear visibility when looking out your vehicle’s windows. Custom rear window graphics are commonly used to cover the entire rear or side windows on cars, trucks, jeeps, vans, commercial vehicles, semi-trucks, and any other type of vehicle with windows.

One-Way Vision

Using rear window graphics and signs is one of the most effective and safe ways to advertise your products, services, or business on your vehicle. When using other decals, they tend to obstruct vision and can even lead to unsafe driving. Rear window graphics allow you to display large messages and still maintain full visibility of your surroundings.

Selecting the Best Size and Design for Your Perforated Car Decal

1. When measuring the size of your car or truck window, be sure to measure the largest width and height to ensure that your sign will cover all areas of the window.
2. Order your graphic 2” wider and higher than the length of your window. This allows room for trimming and will ensure that you order a size large enough to cover the entire window. For example, if your window is 50” x 20” order a decal that is 52” x 22”.
3. When designing your custom rear window graphic, place your design/image/graphic in the center of the decal to make sure it will not be affected by trimming.
4. In order to maximize the visibility of your decal, be sure to use as much contrast as possible between the background color and your design. For example, if you use a light background with a light design or lettering it may be difficult for others to see. Or if your decal is very dark and is placed on any sort of tinted window it may appear washed out. Thus, design and intended surfaces should be considered when creating your graphic.

Simple Installation with No Professional Help Required

Installing your rear window graphic is a simple and straightforward process that does not require any professional help. A set of instructions will be included with your order to assist you. You may also view the installation instructions below or download the installation instructions PDF just below the instructions.

Please Note: This is not a decal meant for wet install, so please do not use any water on the decal or window when installing.

Clean your car window, removing all dirt and grime from the surface. Allow the window to fully air dry before proceeding.

Lay out your decal on your vehicle’s window with the backing still on and make sure it is aligned properly and that you’ve ordered the correct size.

Pull the decal away from the window and remove the backing, exposing the black adhesive side of the decal. If the backing appears to be tearing when removing it, this may be because you are not removing all layers of the backing. When removing the backing, you should be able to see the back of the graphic, which is black.

Place the graphic back onto your vehicle’s window, making sure it is aligned with the markings made previously. Begin to apply to the window, using a squeegee* or flat edge. Start from the center of the graphic and work your way towards the outer corners.

*Available for purchase with your rear window decal

Once you have applied the entire decal to your window, remove the excess material around the edges using a razor blade. Be sure to use caution when doing this to avoid damaging your vehicle’s window or paint.

Care

Care

Perforated car decals are safe for manual car washes and will stand up to most exterior elements. Avoid automated/automatic car washes and power washers when washing your car. To extend the life of your decals, avoid parking in direct sunlight for extremely long periods of time. Remove dirt and other buildup regularly with a damp, non-abrasive cloth to keep adhesive strong.

the rear window on my car curves. after installing the decal the lettering curves downard at the edges. is there a way to avoid this in the future?
Asked a year ago by Kim W.

Start by applying the decal from the center and work your way outward. This helps to push out any air bubbles and ensures a smooth application, especially on curved surfaces.

Q:
Hello, Do the perforated car window decals withstand a car wash and how do they hold up with the back windshield wiper on an suv? I recently placed an order and received my new decal but I will have to reorder.
Asked a year ago by shannon M.
A:

Our perforated vinyl decals are designed to withstand various weather conditions, including rain and car washes. However, their longevity may be affected by the following factors:

Installation: Proper installation is crucial for the longevity of perforated window decals. If they are not applied correctly, they may not adhere well to the window, making them more susceptible to damage during car washes or when using the rear windshield wiper.

Car Washes: Most perforated window decals should be able to withstand occasional car washes without a problem. However, frequent or high-pressure car washes could potentially weaken the adhesive or cause the decal to peel over time. It's advisable to use touchless or gentle car washes if possible.

Rear Windshield Wiper: The rear windshield wiper can come into contact with the decal when in use, and this repeated friction could cause the decal to wear out faster. The effect will depend on the quality of the vinyl and the frequency of wiper use.

Sunlight Exposure: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can also affect the lifespan of perforated window decals. UV rays can cause fading and degradation of the material over time.

Q:
What material is your perforated car decal made out of?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
The perforated decal is a thin vinyl material. This material is covered with micropunctures (50% of the surface area) that allow one way visibility through your sign. The material also has an adhesive backside that sticks to your vehicle’s window.
Q:
Will my perforated decal be transparent or allow visibility?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Yes. Due to the micropunctures that cover 50% of the sign the decal will provide one way visibility. Thus, a rear window decal that covers the entire window will not impede the vision of the driver while still allowing other vehicles to clearly see the design/marketing message it may contain.
Q:
Do you offer other types of vehicle decals?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Yes. We also offer clear vehicle decals and opaque vehicle decals. The former is an alternative to the perforated decal as it will be transparent on any portion that does not have something printed on it. Due to the transparency being only where it isn’t printed we recommend that large decals covering an entire window be only perforated car decals. Opaque vehicle decals work great for the side of vehicles in a wide range of uses and business type vehicles. We do not recommend the opaque decals for car windows unless they are small enough that they will not obscure the driver’s ability to see.
