    vinyl is the way to go, as well as 1-way vision for the windows if need be. most any signage company can do this but make sure they print the stuff on sheets, not hand-cut lettering - which pisses me off no end.

    also, don't go cheapest. some will use non-uv resistant vinyl to make the cost seem really good knowing that in a year when it's buggered they won't care at all but will offer to "do it again for the same price if you like?"

    pick a chain signage company to start with as they are often a buying group meaning a better cost for the print + vinyl, about the same cost for the install.

    if the truck is getting done (ie: the cab / doors as opposed to a truck side only) look at the new 3m product that is applied with direct heat (from a hairdryer quite often) and taken off / repositioned much the same way. it means it's easy for the guys to install as if they position it slightly wrong they can peal it off and reposition without reprinting (which means more time). it's also amazing for colourprints and uv resistant to a really high level.

    • 1-way is the stuff that lets you see out but shows graphics on the outside.airey
    • it's a good way to shade the inside also if there's foodstuff without losing vision.airey
