School Spirit Window Decals

Rolling advertising for the programme, paid for by parents

Every family car in the district carrying your school mark, on every school run, at every away game, in every grocery store car park in Melissa and Anna.

Spirit decals are one of the better fundraising items a booster club can run. The unit cost is low, the margin is good, parents genuinely want them rather than buying out of obligation, and unlike a t-shirt there is no sizing to manage. Part of our school spirit and team sports line.

Types

Cut vinyl decals

Letters and shapes cut from solid coloured film, no background at all. Cleanest look on car glass and the most premium-feeling of the options. Best for a school initial, a mascot silhouette or a wordmark.

Printed and contour cut

Full colour with gradients, shading and photographs, cut to the outline. Necessary for detailed mascots and multi-colour crests that cut vinyl cannot reproduce.

Clear-backed decals

Printed on clear film so the glass shows through around the artwork. Good middle ground, though the clear film is faintly visible in strong sunlight at certain angles.

Static cling

No adhesive, repositionable, removes instantly with no residue. Right for temporary spirit week use and for parents nervous about anything sticky on their car.

Interior-applied reverse cut

Applied to the inside of the glass, so it is protected from weather, car washes and scraping. Lasts considerably longer. Worth offering as an option on premium items.

Sizing for a car

The common sizes are 4×4, 5×5 and 6×6 inches for a rear glass corner mark, and 4×12 or 5×20 for a rear window strip carrying a team name or a season slogan.

Anything much larger starts to run into rear visibility considerations, and while a decal on the corner of a rear window is not an issue, a large graphic across the driver’s field of view through the rear glass is a different conversation. For anything that size, perforated one-way film is the right product rather than solid vinyl.

Personalised player decals

Player name and number decals for team families are straightforward here. Send a roster and we merge it, so a set of forty personalised decals is one production run rather than forty separate jobs.

This is a strong fundraiser. Families buy multiples, typically one per car plus one for grandparents, and the reorder rate through a season is high.

Care and removal

Apply to clean, dry glass above about 50 degrees. Cold glass in a January car park is the most common cause of a decal failing to stick properly.

Removal is straightforward with gentle heat from a hairdryer and a plastic card. Adhesive residue lifts with an adhesive remover. Static cling decals come off in seconds with nothing left behind.
