The Easy Way To Design & Price Your Trailer graphics Online
Our SignMagic Online Design Tool isn’t just for signs anymore – You can now use it to
accurately design & price the lettering you want to display on your trailer.
But there’s a trick to using SignMagic for trailer graphics. Once you know this simple
“trick” it’ll save you a lot of time and frustration.
Where do you want to display the message on your trailer?
The very first step to design & price your trailer graphics is to measure the key areas
where you want your advertising message to appear. For example, on this particular trailer,
a 5’ x 20’ box fits comfortably on the driver’s side. And along the passenger side
of the trailer, I have room for a 5’x 13’ box, and a 5’ x 3’ area on the other side
of the door. And don’t forget the most important spot of all when you’re sitting in traffic
– the backdoors.
For safety, the drivers behind you have to keep an eye out for your brake lights. So
their eyes will be automatically drawn to your advertising message.
Taking into account the door hinges and handle, in this particular case, I have room for a
5 1/2’ x 2’ box. The space on the other door is larger because there is no handle.
So where do you start?
Let’s start with the drivers side in SignMagic. We have room for a 5’x20’ box. First,
we’ll select the product we want from this drop down list – if you want a printed Decal
that basically looks like a big bumper sticker, you could select Decal. However, I’m going
to click on “Vinyl Letters”. Since there’s no background, your trailer graphics and graphics
will look as if they have been professionally painted right on your trailer.
The great thing about trailer graphics though is that you can remove it later. That way,
when you eventually sell your trailer, you’ll preserve the resell value. Once you click
on Vinyl Letters, select the closest size to your measurements – in this case we have
the exact size.
Now that you have selected the size, this box in SignMagic represents the 5’ x 20’
area you have to work with. Since there’s some extra space on the trailer outside of
this area, you can actually fill this entire rectangle with anything you want – text,
graphics, logos and even a full-color photo. In other videos, I’ll show you exactly how
to create a design like this, step by step.
Once you have your first design ideas put together, you can SAVE your design & instantly
see your pricing options. For example, if you need lettering for only one side, just
choose a quantity of 1. If you want both sides lettered, and you don’t have any doors or
windows on the passenger side of the trailer, you can choose a quantity of 2. Or if you
have two trailers you want to get lettered, you can select a quantity of four. The more
sets you buy at once, the more you’ll save.
The Standard 3 Year rated vinyl is the lowest in price. If you plan on keeping your trailer
more than 3 years, we recommend the Premium 5-7 Year Rated Vinyl. And this third option
is for reflective vinyl. When the headlights shine on reflective vinyl at night, the vinyl
lights up!
When you’re ready to continue, select the pricing option you prefer and Add to Cart.
You can always change your selection later if you want to.
To continue designing, just click on this button that says Continue Designing. You can
make additional changes to your existing design and SAVE it under a different name to compare
different designs – or you can start a brand new design to letter other areas of your trailer.
