Frequently Asked Questions
What regulations do your lettering products comply with?
Our products comply with Transport Canada regulations, Ontario MTO requirements (Highway Traffic Act), FMCSA USDOT requirements (49 CFR 390.21), Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs), and the Canada Shipping Act small vessel regulations. Each product's builder validates your input against the specific regulation.
How long does your vinyl last outdoors?
We use premium cast vinyl rated for 7+ years of outdoor exposure. This includes resistance to UV radiation, rain, snow, road salt, and temperature extremes from -40°C to +60°C. Our material meets or exceeds the durability requirements specified in applicable regulations.
Can I order for an entire fleet?
Yes. We handle fleet orders of any size with volume pricing. Call us at (289) 362-3308 or email orders@compliancelettering.ca with your fleet details. We can produce consistent lettering across your entire fleet with guaranteed regulatory compliance.
How does your regulation validation work?
Our design builder reads the specific regulatory requirements for each lettering type (format, minimum height, approved fonts) and validates your input in real-time. You cannot add a product to your cart unless it passes compliance validation. This prevents costly mistakes and failed inspections.
Do you ship across Canada?
Yes. We produce in Ontario and ship nationwide via Canada Post and courier services. Same-day production means most orders ship within 24 hours of being placed. Standard delivery is 2-5 business days depending on your location.
