Why Ordering Decals Shouldn’t Be the Hard Part
Every transit agency has a process for buying things — and decals have a funny way of falling through the cracks of that process. They’re too small to worry about, but too important to ignore, and somehow nobody is quite sure whose job it is to order them.
At Seifert Transit Graphics, we’ve spent over 30 years working with transit agencies of every size, and we’ve built our online store to do one simple thing: make ordering safety decals as easy as shopping on Amazon. If you have a purchasing card (P-card) or purchasing authority, you can order what your fleet needs today — no bid, no quote request, no waiting.
What We Hear From Transit Agencies About Ordering
When our team talks with maintenance directors, fleet engineers, and parts managers across the country, the same ordering frustrations come up again and again:
- Nobody’s sure who owns the order. Decals get routed through maintenance, then engineering, then marketing, then procurement — and sometimes all the way back through the bus manufacturer. By the time the order is placed, weeks have passed for something that should have taken minutes.
- Small orders get stuck in big processes. A dozen replacement decals shouldn’t require the same paperwork as a fleet purchase. But when the only path is a formal quote or a bid, that’s exactly what happens — and we’ve talked with plenty of frustrated buyers stuck in that loop.
- Quote emails go missing. A quote arrives, gets buried in an inbox, and the reorder stalls until someone remembers to call and ask for it again.
- Reordering means starting over. Without part numbers or an order history to reference, every replacement decal becomes a brand-new conversation.
None of this is anyone’s fault. It’s just what happens when there’s no direct lane for the everyday stuff.
The Direct Lane: Order Online With Your P-Card
Our online store gives your purchasing team that direct lane:
- Browse the full catalog of interior and exterior safety decals, ADA signage, DOT-required decals, and specialty items — each with clear part numbers.
- Check out in minutes with a P-card or standard purchasing process. No phone call required for everyday orders.
- Reorder without the runaround. Your order history and part numbers are right there, so replacing worn “Watch Your Step” decals is a two-minute task — not a two-week thread.
And because consistency matters across a fleet, everything in the catalog is built to ANSI-inspired safety standards, with materials designed for real-world service conditions. When you reorder, it matches what’s already on the bus.
What Happens After Your First Order
Your first order gets you a standing invitation into our customer ecosystem. This means that when a question comes up six weeks or six months from now about a new build, or where a decal should be placed, or whether something is even possible, you already know who to ask. Becoming a customer comes with these perks:
- Free design services. Need a decal customized, a bilingual version, or messaging adapted to a new policy? Our design team handles it at no extra charge.
- Free consultation. Questions about what’s required, what’s recommended, or what other agencies are doing? Our relationship coordinators have decades of answers, and the conversation costs nothing.
- A door that stays open. Once we’re working together, the conversation goes wherever you need it to. Maybe it starts with a few safety decals and turns into a fleet analysis. Maybe you mention a peeling wrap, and we help you figure out a maintenance plan your own team can run. Maybe you just need someone to tell you whether a thing is possible. You lead — we’ll meet you wherever you are.
The online store is self-service when you want speed, and the start of a relationship when you want more. You don’t have to choose.
Browse the Transit Safety Decal Catalog
Our catalog covers every corner of the vehicle — driver area decals, wheelchair securement, fire equipment, emergency exits, exterior reflective warnings, and the messaging your riders and operators see every day. One trusted source, built for transit.
Ready to Skip the Runaround?
