This Mercedes Sprinter decals project in Toronto for Moving Forces Pro demonstrates how professionally designed and installed commercial vehicle decals deliver strong brand visibility, long-term durability, and effective mobile advertising using premium 3M IJ180 cast vinyl and 8518 gloss laminate.
Why Mercedes Sprinter Decals Matter for Moving Companies
For moving companies, trust and visibility are everything. Your van is often the first point of contact a potential customer has with your brand, and clear, professional vehicle branding immediately signals reliability, experience, and legitimacy. Well-executed Mercedes Sprinter decals turn a work van into a mobile marketing asset that works every day without ongoing advertising costs.
Vinyl Wrap Toronto recently completed a commercial decal package for Moving Forces Pro on a 2014 Mercedes Sprinter High Roof Extended, using 3M IJ180mC-10 vehicle cast wrap vinyl protected with Scotchcal 8518 gloss laminate. The decals were custom designed in-house to ensure the branding is clean, readable, and consistent from the side and rear views.
This project was designed and installed by Vinyl Wrap Toronto, helping Moving Forces Pro strengthen brand recognition across Toronto and the GTA. While full wraps offer maximum coverage, professionally planned decals remain one of the most cost-effective and scalable branding solutions for moving companies and commercial fleets.

Why the Mercedes Sprinter High Roof Extended Is Ideal for Decals
A Commercial Van Built for Visibility
The Mercedes Sprinter High Roof Extended is one of the most widely used commercial vans in Toronto for moving, logistics, and delivery services. Its tall roofline and long, flat side panels provide excellent real estate for branding, making it an ideal platform for decals.
For Moving Forces Pro, the Sprinter’s size ensures logos, taglines, and contact details remain visible in traffic, on highways, and at customer locations.
Perfect for High-Mileage Commercial Use
Moving company vans operate daily and accumulate significant mileage. Decals provide a durable branding solution that holds up to frequent driving, weather exposure, and regular washing—especially when premium cast vinyl is used.
Why Decals Are a Smart Branding Choice for Moving Companies
A full wrap is not always necessary to achieve strong branding. For service-based businesses like moving companies, decals strike the right balance between visibility, cost, and flexibility.
- Decals are ideal for:
- Clear, readable branding without full coverage
- Faster installation and minimal downtime
- Cost-effective fleet branding as the business grows
- Simple replication across multiple vehicles
- Easier updates when services or contact details change
On a high roof extended Sprinter, decal placement is especially effective. Large panels allow branding to be read quickly while driving, stopped at intersections, or parked at a client’s home.
Custom Decal Design by Vinyl Wrap Toronto
Design Built for Real-World Readability
Effective vehicle branding must communicate quickly. Moving company vehicles are often seen for only a few seconds, so layout and hierarchy are critical.
- For Moving Forces Pro, the design focused on:
- Strong logo visibility with balanced placement
- Clear hierarchy for the tagline and contact information
- Readable typography at distance
- Clean spacing that avoids clutter on white panels
The decals feature a clear logo, website, phone number, and social icons placed strategically on the side and rear of the Sprinter. This ensures the van looks professional while remaining highly functional as a marketing tool.
The Mercedes Sprinter Decals Installation Process
Vehicle Inspection and Preparation
The Sprinter was thoroughly cleaned and inspected before installation. Proper surface preparation ensures strong adhesion and long-term performance, especially on high-use commercial vehicles.
Printing and Lamination
The decals were produced using 3M IJ180mC-10 cast vinyl, a premium film designed for long-term vehicle graphics. To protect the printed decals, Scotchcal 8518 gloss laminate was applied, enhancing durability and colour vibrancy.
Precision Installation
Experienced installers applied the decals with careful alignment and controlled heat to ensure smooth adhesion and crisp edges across the Sprinter’s large panels.
Final Inspection
Once installed, the decals were inspected for placement accuracy, adhesion, and overall finish consistency before the van returned to service.
Why We Used 3M IJ180 Cast Vinyl and 8518 Gloss Laminate
Built for Long-Term Commercial Performance
Toronto weather, road salt, UV exposure, and constant driving can be tough on vehicle graphics. Material choice directly affects how long decals last and how they look over time.
3M IJ180mC-10 is a cast vinyl engineered specifically for vehicle wraps and decals, offering excellent conformability and stability.
Scotchcal 8518 gloss laminate adds a protective layer that shields the graphics from fading, abrasion, and wear.
Benefits of This Material System
- Long-term outdoor durability
- Excellent adhesion on large commercial panels
- UV protection to reduce fading
- Resistance to scuffs and light abrasion
- Gloss finish that improves visibility and professionalism
This combination is widely used for fleet graphics that need to look good and perform reliably for years.
