Labels, Nameplates & Identification for Commercial Vehicles & Logistics Fleets
A heavy goods vehicle operates for up to a million kilometres over its working life — through road salt, diesel wash, pressure cleaning, and temperature extremes. For every vehicle in that fleet, there is a matrix of mandatory identification requirements, and a set of operator-specific branding needs on top.
Lexicraft has supplied the transportation and logistics sector for decades, working with bodybuilders and specialist vehicle converters including Boweld Truck Bodies and Clarks Vehicle Conversion.
Statutory Rating & Compliance Plates
UK and EU regulations require HGVs, trailers and goods vehicles to carry specific rating and compliance data in defined formats. Lexicraft produces these as custom nameplates in engraved aluminum and stainless steel, and as durable polyester self-adhesive formats, to correct typeface and dimension specifications.
Required plates include:
- Maximum authorised mass plates
- Tyre specification labels
- Fifth-wheel coupling rating plates
- ADR hazard identification panels
- Statutory cab information plates
Body & Bodybuilder Identification Labels
Specialist bodybuilders require identification for both the body structure and the mechanical and electrical equipment within it. These are produced as custom labels in polycarbonate and polyester, with sub-surface printing available where the substrate provides a protective layer against cleaning agents and fuel splash.
Typical applications:
- Tail-lift safe working load rating plates
- Refrigeration unit and hydraulic system identification
- Electrical rating plates for auxiliary power units
Cab Interior & Driver Information Panels
High-specification fleet vehicles require professionally produced cab identification that is legible under all conditions. Lexicraft’s graphic overlays and control panels are produced in polycarbonate and polyester with embossed button areas and hard-coat surface protection.
Produced for:
- Switch identification panels and operational instruction placards
- Flat and curved dash surfaces
- Aluminium sub-panels for rigid cab fascia applications
Fleet Livery & Exterior Decals
For logistics operators, the vehicle fleet is a moving billboard as well as a working asset. Lexicraft’s custom decals are produced by screen and digital print with CAD/CAM cutting, in cast vinyl to precise pantone and brand-guide specifications.
Available as:
- Full cab graphics panels and door logo panels
- Computer-cut individual lettering for fleet numbering and vehicle-specific regulatory text
- Laminated surface protection for jet-wash and road grit resistance
- Reflective safety striping to meet regulatory requirements
Hazardous Goods & ADR Identification
Vehicles carrying dangerous goods under ADR regulations require orange hazard identification panels, class labels and environmental hazard marks to precisely specified dimensions and retroreflective performance standards. These are produced as custom labels in retroreflective and non-retroreflective constructions.
Available with:
- Print stability tested against UV and chemical exposure
- Correct retroreflective performance to ADR specification
- Class labels and environmental hazard marks
Domed Badges for Premium Cab & Fleet Branding
For owner-driver trucks, luxury coach fleets and high-specification service vehicles, Lexicraft’s domed badges provide a premium three-dimensional brand finish that resists fuel, cleaning solvents and UV fading throughout the vehicle’s operational life.
Used for:
- Steering wheel centres and dashboard plaques
- Door handle surrounds and exterior brand panels
- Brushed stainless steel and chrome effect substrate options
Asset Tracking & Fleet Management
Used for:
- Barcode, QR code and RFID-compatible asset labels
- Sequential serial numbering aligned to fleet management databases
- Tamper-evident constructions for high-theft-risk components
- Destructible label options for security-sensitive components
