MTO Compliant Commercial Vehicle Decals (CVOR)

Full-Colour Printed Decals — Not Just Cut Text

Budget shops cut single-colour text from basic vinyl. We print full-colour logos, gradients, and branding directly onto professional-grade vinyl using eco-solvent inks rated for Canadian winters. Your CVOR decals look like they belong on a professional fleet — because they do.

Every order includes a free digital proof — we don't print until you approve the layout.

5-Minute Bubble-Free Installation

Don't pay a shop $100/hour to install them. Our professional vinyl has air-release channels that make it virtually impossible to trap bubbles.

The Definitive Guide to CVOR & Fleet Compliance in Ontario

What is CVOR and Why Do You Need It?

The Commercial Vehicle Operator's Registration (CVOR) system is mandatory for operators of commercial motor vehicles (trucks and buses) in Ontario. If your vehicle has a gross weight or registered gross weight over 4,500 kg (9,920 lbs), you are required by law to register for a CVOR certificate.

But registration isn't enough — you must display this information clearly. Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO) officers and police patrolling the 401, 403, QEW, and 406 corridors are actively looking for improper identification. A missing or illegible decal can result in a "Failure to Display" citation, negatively impacting your carrier safety rating and increasing insurance premiums.

MTO Decal Requirements (The 50mm Rule)

Don't get swindled by "cheap stickers." The Highway Traffic Act strictly regulates how your identification must appear:

• Minimum Height: The legal requirement for the letters is 50mm (2 inches). We print ours at 57mm (2.25 inches) to give you a safety buffer against strict inspectors.
• Contrast: The text must be in a sharp, contrasting colour to the vehicle body. (e.g., White text on a Black truck, Black text on a White truck).
• Visibility: It must be clearly visible on both sides of the vehicle's cab.

Why Professional-Grade Vinyl Matters

Most budget shops use the cheapest vinyl they can find. It shrinks in summer, cracks in winter, and looks terrible within a year.

We use professional-grade Oracal cast vinyl with air-release adhesive.

• Air Release Channels: Tiny channels in the adhesive let air escape during installation. Zero bubbles, every time.
• Repositionable: The adhesive doesn't lock until you apply pressure. Slide and adjust for perfect alignment before committing.
• 5-7 Year Outdoor Rated: With professional lamination, engineered to withstand -40°C Canadian winters, road salt, and high-pressure truck washes.

For reflective requirements, we use engineer-grade reflective vinyl — eco-solvent printed and laminated for maximum outdoor durability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Do I need a USDOT Number?
A: Only if you cross the border into the United States. If you haul exclusively in Ontario, you only need your CVOR and Name.

Q: Can I put the decal on the fuel tank?
A: No. MTO implies it should be on the cab portion of the vehicle for visibility.

Q: My truck is leased. Does the decal damage paint?
A: Our vinyl is removable with heat (heat gun) and leaves little to no residue, preserving your fleet's resale value.

Q: How is this different from a $16 cut vinyl sticker?
A: Budget cut vinyl is single-colour text only — no logos, no branding. We print full-colour designs including your company logo, CVOR number, and USDOT (if needed) on premium vinyl with professional lamination. It looks like a branded fleet, not a DIY sticker.
