Seifert Transit Graphics' History
Family-owned and operated, Seifert Graphics Inc., headquartered in upstate New York, was founded in 1990 through an early relationship with Orion Bus Industries. Seifert soon committed to transit graphics full-time, providing standard and custom safety decals, printing services, livery wrap design, and vinyl wrap installation plus install training.

What Does Seifert Transit Graphics Do?
Seifert Transit Graphics provides vinyl installation, engineering, design services, and printing solutions for transit authorities across the United States. We also offer an online catalog of safety decals developed from our safety standards solution inspired by the ANSI standard. Think “Watch Your Step” or “No Smoking” signage with a cohesive look, quality adhesives, and premium materials.
What Warranties Do Seifert Transit Graphics Offer?
If properly spec’d and installed, vinyl is warrantied for 7 years and often lasts beyond that. Seifert Transit Graphics maintains certifications through ongoing audits that verify print processes, material selection, and adhesion strength. We work with 3M-certified materials and installation standards to ensure compatibility between films, adhesives, overlaminates, and real-world service conditions. Through training, documentation, and maintenance guidance, we help agency teams properly care for their graphics so livery, decals, and wraps continue to perform well beyond the stated warranty period.
“I’ve worked my way through every part of this company—from production and shipping to installation and design. That hands-on experience shapes how we think about quality today. For us, it’s never just about how something looks. It’s about how it installs, how long it lasts, and how it performs in real service. We don’t just see a vehicle on install day. We see it five years down the road.”
— Max Seifert, Director of Operations
“In ninety-five percent of the continental U.S., a vertical bus graphic is warranted to last seven years—but our customers see them hold up far longer. That’s because we don’t cut corners on inks, overlaminates, or installation quality. The warranty is the floor, not the ceiling.”
— Max Seifert, Director of Operations
Does Seifert Transit Graphics Design and Install Ad Wraps?
While Seifert does not produce advertising wraps, we play an essential role in protecting fleet livery throughout the advertising lifecycle. We help agencies avoid damage to their livery by providing consulting on proper material use, installation guidelines, and correct removal techniques. We help prevent damage to base graphics, decrease labor costs, and increase the lifespace of a vehicle’s core branding. By planning and using the right materials from the start, agencies can generate advertising revenue without paying for it later.
What Transit Agencies Love About Seifert Transit Graphics
Customers value working with Seifert Transit Graphics because of our focus on safety, responsibility, timing, and clear communication. When our customers call us, we know who they are, how their system operates, and what challenges they’re navigating. We help agencies make informed decisions that align with real-world, necessary details, such as vehicle specifications, parts management, and color matching. The result is long-term partnerships that last well beyond our multiyear warranties.
“We had a great experience getting our new shared ride vehicles produced by Seifert Graphics. The graphics look crisp, and working with the team was great!”

Always Free Consulting with Seifert Transit Graphics
Seifert Transit Graphics provides free consulting to customers on common challenges, such as sorting through various vehicle generations and types, updating vinyl maintenance practices, and navigating OEM standards. A clear picture of current conditions helps transit agencies identify information gaps, cost redundancies, and opportunities for standardization. We provide recommendations, guides, templates, and documentation to simplify reordering safety decals and vinyl parts.
“When people ask how we’re different, I always come back to relationships. When you call us, we know who you are. That only happens when you’re focused on people, not quotas. I don’t go into conversations trying to sell anything. I show agencies what they already have and help them see it clearly. Once they see it, the right decision usually makes sense on its own.
For years, safety messaging was based on opinion instead of standards, so we created something grounded in ANSI and real-world use. This isn’t about selling add-ons or trinkets. These decisions are already part of an agency’s process. Our role is to guide—to bring clarity, reduce confusion, and make safety and consistency easier to achieve across an entire fleet.”
