Every Product Meets
Regulatory Requirements.
Guaranteed.
We validate every product against the applicable Canadian federal or provincial regulation before production. If your lettering fails inspection due to a specification error on our part, we replace it free — no questions asked.
What We Verify Before Production
Our design builders enforce these compliance checks in real-time. You cannot add a non-compliant product to your cart.
Size Minimums
Every regulation specifies minimum character heights. We verify your lettering meets or exceeds the minimum for the applicable regulation. CVOR: 2" (50mm). Boats: 3" (75mm). Aircraft: 12" (300mm). We never produce undersized lettering.
Colour Contrast
Regulations require lettering to contrast with the background surface. We produce in colours that ensure clear visibility and legibility, meeting the contrast requirements specified by MTO, Transport Canada, and FMCSA.
Material Durability
Regulations require permanent, durable markings. We use premium cast vinyl and premium intermediate vinyl rated for 7+ years of outdoor exposure, resistant to UV, rain, snow, road salt, and temperatures from -40°C to +60°C.
Format Accuracy
Our design builders validate the format of your input in real-time. CVOR numbers follow the XX-XXX-XXX pattern. Boat licence numbers follow the provincial format. Aircraft marks follow the C-FXXX pattern. If the format is wrong, we catch it before production.
Placement Guidance
We provide clear application instructions based on the regulatory requirements for your specific product type. Both sides of the power unit, both sides of the bow, fuselage and tail — we tell you exactly where it goes.
Permanence
Ontario MTO and other authorities explicitly prohibit magnetic or temporary signs for compliance markings. Our self-adhesive vinyl is permanently affixed to the vehicle, meeting all permanence requirements across jurisdictions.

What If We're Wrong?
Full Refund + Replacement at No Cost
If your compliance lettering fails a government inspection — whether MTO roadside, Transport Canada vessel check, or aviation authority audit — and the failure is due to a specification error in our product (wrong minimum height, incorrect format, non-compliant material), we will:
- Replace the product with a corrected version at no cost
- Cover return shipping via prepaid label
- Rush production to get you back on the road, water, or in the air as fast as possible
- Full refund if you prefer a refund instead of a replacement
This guarantee covers specification compliance only. It does not cover damage from improper installation, expired registrations, or violations unrelated to the physical lettering product (e.g., missing certificates, overweight violations).

Guarantee FAQ
What exactly does your compliance guarantee cover?
If your lettering fails a government inspection due to a specification error on our part (wrong size, wrong format, wrong material), we will replace the product at no cost and cover the shipping. This covers MTO roadside inspections, Transport Canada vessel checks, and aviation authority audits.
How do you stay current on regulation changes?
We reference the Ontario e-Laws database, Transport Canada bulletins, and FMCSA federal register notices. When a regulation changes, we update our product specifications and design validators before the effective date. All products are reviewed quarterly.
Do you guarantee that I will not receive a fine?
We guarantee that our products meet the specification requirements of the applicable regulation. Fines can also result from expired registrations, missing certificates, or other factors outside of lettering. We guarantee the lettering itself is compliant.
What if my vehicle colour makes contrast difficult?
Contact us before ordering. We will recommend a vinyl colour that provides the regulatory contrast requirement against your specific vehicle colour. For dark vehicles we use white or silver; for light vehicles we use black or navy. We will identify the compliant option for your application.
How long is the material warranty?
Our standard warranty is 7 years for outdoor exposure. This covers UV fading, peeling, cracking, and delamination under normal conditions. Reflective products carry the same 7-year warranty. If the material fails within the warranty period, we replace it free.
Order With Confidence
Every product is backed by our compliance guarantee and 7-year material warranty. If it does not pass inspection, we make it right.
