Graphics for fire, EMS, police & municipal vehicles.
An emergency vehicle is the most recognizable thing your department puts on the road. We design clean, regulation-friendly identity — shields, lettering, and reflective-capable striping — proofed on your actual unit and installed by hand in Plymouth, IN.
Why emergency & municipal
Identity that has to read in a split second.
Fire, EMS, police, and city vehicles aren't advertising — they're public-facing identity. The markings have to make a unit instantly recognizable, stay visible at a roadside call after dark, and look the same across every vehicle the department runs. That's a different job than a delivery van, and we treat it like one — serving local departments across Marshall and Starke counties.
Recognized in a split second
An emergency vehicle has to read as what it is — instantly, from a distance, in motion. Clean door shields, unit numbers, and high-contrast lettering make a cruiser or rescue unmistakable to the public the moment it comes into view.
Reflective-capable for night & weather
Reflective-capable film and conspicuity striping light up under headlights and scene lighting, so a unit parked at a roadside call stays visible to passing traffic after dark and in rain or fog.
One identity across the whole department
Patrol cars, engines, ambulances, and admin vehicles all carry the same shields, striping, and color scheme — designed once and adapted to each body style, so the fleet reads as one department, not a mix of one-off jobs.
Built to take a beating
These units run hard, get washed often, and live outdoors. Premium cast vinyl and reflective film are matched to that duty cycle so the markings stay sharp through the years a vehicle stays in service.
Coverage
From door shields to full reflective wraps.
Most units need clean lettering, shields, and reflective striping; some need to be seen from every angle. We scope coverage to the role the vehicle plays.
Clear identity, to spec
Door shields, unit numbers, lettering, and reflective conspicuity striping on the factory finish — the standard for most patrol, command, and municipal vehicles. Built to your department's layout and approved before anything is cut.
Maximum visibility
Full or high-coverage reflective wraps and ghost-graphic schemes for units that need to be seen from every angle — rescue, command, and high-visibility patrol. The whole vehicle carries the identity and lights up under headlights and scene lighting.
What we do
Designed in-house, proofed on your unit, installed by hand.
Every marking is laid out, approved, and applied with the same design-led care — so what command signs off on is exactly what rolls out of the bay.
Designed in-house
We build the shield, striping, and lettering layout from your existing scheme or from scratch — laid out for the specific body style and approved by the department before production.
Proofed on your actual vehicle
You see the markings mapped onto the real unit — door placement, reflective bands, unit numbers — so command signs off on exactly what goes on before a single panel is cut.
Installed by hand
Surfaces prepped and film aligned across every panel, door, and contour by hand — clean edges around handles, light bars, and equipment, with the unit back in service fast.
Durability & consistency
The same identity, unit after unit, year after year.
A department fleet only works when every vehicle matches — and keeps matching as units are added and replaced. We hold the design as one system and match film batches and reflective materials across the roster, so the shields, striping, and colors on a brand-new SUV read the same as the engine that's been in service for years. Premium cast vinyl and reflective-capable film are matched to hard municipal duty, so the markings stay sharp through frequent washing, scene work, and life outdoors.
How we work
Design, proof, install — minimal downtime.
Three steps, no surprises. Command sees the layout on your actual unit before anything is cut, and we rotate vehicles through so coverage on the road never drops.
Design
We lay out shields, reflective striping, unit numbers, and lettering to your department's spec — adapting one identity to patrol cars, engines, and ambulances alike.
Proof
You see the markings on your actual unit before anything prints. Command approves the exact placement and reflective layout first.
Install
Surfaces prepped and film applied by hand, clean around handles and equipment. We schedule around shifts so units come off the line one at a time.
Emergency & Municipal FAQ
Good questions. Straight answers.
What drives the cost of marking an emergency vehicle?
Coverage and materials, mostly. Door shields, unit numbers, and lettering on a factory finish is a different job than a full reflective wrap with conspicuity striping front to back. Reflective-capable film costs more than standard vinyl, and a patrol sedan is a different layout than a fire apparatus. Tell us the units and the scheme and we'll itemize it clearly.
How long is a unit out of service?
A typical lettering-and-striping job is usually a day or two; a full reflective wrap takes longer. For a department fleet we schedule around your shifts and rotate units through one at a time, so coverage on the road never drops while the rest get done.
How long do the markings last?
Premium cast vinyl and reflective film hold up for years of hard duty with normal washing and care. Reflective performance and color stay strong through the service life of most units; we match the material to how hard the vehicle runs and tell you straight what to expect.
Will every vehicle in the department match?
Yes. We design the shields, striping, and color scheme once as one system and adapt it to each body style, then proof before printing — so a sedan, an SUV, and an ambulance all read as the same department, and a unit added next year still matches the rest.
Do the markings come off when a unit is decommissioned?
Yes — and this matters for emergency fleets. When a vehicle is retired, rotated, or sent to auction, we remove all identity, shields, and striping cleanly so it no longer reads as an active emergency or municipal unit, leaving the factory paint underneath intact.
More fleet branding
Run a mixed municipal fleet?
Cities and counties rarely run one kind of vehicle. We brand the whole mix under one identity — here are the other body styles we wrap.
