4. Vehicle Template Pro Tips

Choosing the correct year


The year listed in our library is the year the model was first released. For example: there was no new Dodge Ram 1500 released in 2016, so for models purchased in 2016 the correct vehicle template is still the one listed '2015'.

Choosing the correct version


Make sure you've found the right vehicle before you start designing. Use our preview images and the description information to find the correct version of a model. Most van and trucks come in different wheelbases, heights and door arrangments.

Working with 2D templates & contours


Our templates are as accurate as possible for a two dimensional outline. We strive to make our templates look more like technical drawings from the manufucturer. If you're placing graphics close to an edge, be careful to take contours into consideration (such as rounded corners, concavities and sloped windows). Contours are not entirely visible in a two dimensional template.

Editing at 1:1 scale


Our vehicle templates are created at 1:20 scale. To edit a template at 1:1 scale you can simply increase the file size by 2000%. Some editing software (such as Adobe Illustrator) have a limit on maximum file size and won't allow you to scale to actual size. In this case we recommend using your printer settings to increase by 2000% at the output stage.
