Not What I was expecting

Feb 21, 2026 | Phillip S. |

Verified Buyer

Too small and it does not stick well

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the decal wasn’t what you were expecting. Based on our checks, we see that you ordered a 5" x 5" decal, which is the smallest size listed on our site. Please note, we offer 8 larger sizes, along with a custom size option, if you’re looking for something bigger for future orders. Regarding the sticking concern, this is not typical. Once the application instructions are properly followed, the decal should adhere well. That said, we will share your feedback about the sticking issue with our team for review. To help, we have taken action on your account to address the issue, and an email with the details will be sent to you shortly.

Nice product but in a few months the coloring wipes off

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

We’re glad to hear you like the product. We’re sorry to hear the coloring didn’t last as expected and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’ll share your experience with our team to help improve future products.

Poor quality

Feb 21, 2026 | Alex L.

I like that the material was thick and seemed heavy duty but it’s actually pretty low quality stuff, letters came smudged and some scratches and difficult to install just very poor wulaoty

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

We’re sorry to hear that your product did not meet your expectations, especially with the smudged lettering, scratches, and the difficulty you experienced during installation. We understand how disappointing this must be, particularly when you were expecting a high-quality result. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the thickness and durability of the material, but the quality issues you described are certainly not the experience we want for our customers. We’d like to investigate this further and help make things right. Please reply with photos showing the issues you encountered along with your order number so we can review this with our team and assist you with the next steps toward a suitable resolution.

Great decal for my coffee trailer.

Fell off door in one day

Feb 19, 2026 | Raven L. |

Verified Buyer

Ordered clear and it came solid. Fell off door by the next day.

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

We're sorry to hear that your decal fell off your car and apologize for any inconvenience caused. To make this up to you, we've processed a free replacement for the product that you should receive soon.

No more guesswork. We take care of the entire design process, from brainstorming ideas to delivering the files to your account.

Frequently asked questions

First, wash your vehicle surface with mild soap and water, then let it dry. Then peel your decal off its backing and place it on your car door or side panel. Finally, start from the center of the decal and use a flat edge (like a credit card) to remove any bubbles.

With proper care and use, vehicle decals can be used for about 3 years. At that point, we strongly recommend replacing your decal, using heat to do so. See the following question for details.

If you’ve used your decal for more than 2 years, we recommend you heat the surface of your car with a hair dryer (not a heat gun) before you start to take the decal off. This will help the decal come off smoothly and reduce the risk of paint damage. Just heat the decal and the surface, pull from a corner and gently pull the decal off, using extra heat if needed. If you’ve used the decal for less than 2 years, using an oil-based adhesive remover should do the trick.

If you’ve chosen a white vinyl car door decal, you can take advantage of our full-color printing options – and we recommend that you choose a background in a different (yet complementary) color than your vehicle. Not only does this help your vehicle decal stand out, it’s the easiest way to create a consistent look across vehicles of different colors. Just be sure to keep your messaging and design simple and clear.

No, you’ll want to wait for the paint curing process to finish. This is also the case if you’ve added a new clear coat or wax to your car. The recommended wait time is 90 days for a new coat of paint, 60 days for a clear coat and 2 days for wax.

Yes

Transparent polyacrylate – a removable, pressure-sensitive adhesive.

The best answer for your decal may depend on your specific vehicle. If you’re working with a larger pickup truck, you can take advantage of the size of a side door. Vans can benefit from side panel decals and back door decals – especially if you often find yourself in heavy traffic.
