What are they made
of?
Car Tags plates are made of the same
materials the big three auto makers use... injection
molded plastic, which is chrome foil plated and triple
coated with lacquer to stand up to the elements and
car washings.
How long will they
last?
With normal care, each plate may last
longer than the vehicle it's mounted to.
How do they attach?
With peel and stick neoprene automotive-type
adhesive tape, or if you wish we will affix a magnetic
strip at no extra charge. However,
we cannot guarantee how well the magnetic strip will
adhere in your application. From personal experiences
it won't survive an automatic car wash.
Will it harm paint
and how do I remove?
If your car's paint is in good condition
to begin with, the adhesive will not cause damage. Plate
may be removed with the aid of a hair dryer to soften
adhesive. Soften a section at a time and gently pry
up as each section becomes soft. If carefully removed
your Car Tags plate may be used again by applying a
new adhesive backing.
What is the size
of the plates?
Lower case letters such as a,c,e,n,i
are 1" high
Lower case letters such as l,b,t,d,f are 1.25"
high
All upper case letters and numbers are 1.25" high
Letter widths vary.
The maximum length of a Car Tags plate is 18".
What letters and
characters do you have?
Car Tags has a full range of upper and
lower case letters, and numbers. We also have a number
of special characters. e.g... ://.-@~%_&!#?( ),'/$£
We also have a number of non-english language characters.
e.g... ß ü ä Ü Ä ö ø
How long can the
plates be?
Plates are made to the customer's text
specifications up to a maximum or 22 letters/numbers.
(Punctuation marks such as : // / , '
etc. are not counted.) We only count actual letters
or numbers. If you need all upper case letters, please
limit the number of letters to 19, not including punctuation.
I need an extra long
plate, is there any way you can you do it?
Probably, email us the information. We
will do everything in our power to accommodate your
wishes. The cost of the plate will vary depending on
the complexity of the task.
Are there discounts
for volume?
Yes. Prices vary depending on quantity
ordered and text length. Discount prices start at 50
units. Please contact us directly for a quote.
Delivery?
Delivery is free world wide with a minimum
order of two of any text. For single orders please add
$8.50.
Why a minimum order
of 2 plates to get prepaid shipping?
It is not economical to package and ship
a single plate with delivery included. However, the
two plate minimum can be of any text combination. e.g...
1 URL Plate and 1 e-mail plate etc..
Is it really safe
to buy on-line?
Car Tags Orders are placed through one
of America's oldest and most trusted secure servers

card number.
What are you going
to try and sell me next?

have secondary "bounce back"
products, and we don't sell our client list! However,
we do get a lot of repeat orders, and customers ordering
as gifts for their clients, friends and associates.
Are Car Tags plates
good value for my advertising dollar?
Car Tags plates are one of the world's
great advertising bargains. Dollar
for dollar there is no more effective, or cost effective
form of advertising.
Car Tags plates retail at US $39.95
ea. We assume the average person holds their car in
service for three years. We Calculated that the amortized
cost of having a URL'plate on a car over three years
is about 3.6 cents per day.
If the vehicle is driven in daily rush
hour traffic the plate may be seen hundreds, if not
thousands of times every day at a fraction of a penny
per impression.
The cost declines dramatically if the
owner holds his car in service for longer than 3 years
or if the plate is reused on your next car.
With care, Car Tags plates will easily
last for 7 to 8 years in outdoor use. Properly cared
for indoors they'll practically last forever.
