Perforated Vehicle Window Graphics: Maximize Prime Advertising Space

Perforated window decals explained

Custom vehicle window graphics work because they contain hundreds of tiny unprinted holes, called micro punctures, that comprise around 50% of the film.  These transparent perforated holes are crucial for maintaining visibility for the driver, while still providing a complete visual of the outside of the car.

Window decals: local and state regulations

So long as around 50% of printed window vinyl is perforated with unprinted dots, side and rear window vinyl are legal in the United States.

Benefits of perforated vehicle window graphics

• Discreet
• Easily customized
• Affordable
• Last up to 7 years
• Prominent advertising space on a vehicle
• Allow clear visibility from the inside out
• Added security — potential thieves can’t see into your trunk
• Glare resistant
• Block UV rays

What windows to install perforated graphics to?

The rear window is one of the most prominent and effective areas of a car to add promotional vinyl.  It’s repeatedly viewed by drivers caught up in tailbacks, plus it’s the most likely place for drivers to focus their gaze when stopped at red lights. You may want to use your vehicle as a promotional tool but not want to cover the whole of the bodywork in a vinyl wrap, a rear window decal is a great compromise!

Perforated versus non-perforated decals

Non-perforated window decals that are applied to the windows of vehicles have several crucial drawbacks:

• Harder to see from a distance
• Obstruct visibility for driver
• Legally, can only cover a small area of your rear windshield
• Won’t prevent people from seeing into your car
