Food Van Lettering FAQs
Can I put lettering near a cooking area?
Check temperature, grease and cleaning exposure. Do not assume ordinary vinyl is suited to high-heat areas.
How should I size text for a menu hatch?
Measure the flat section of the hatch or panel and allow clearance for equipment and opening mechanisms.
Can I create each menu word separately?
Yes. Use separate designs when you want different sizes or to space phrases independently.
Can I choose the size?
Yes. Set the required width or height in millimetres in the lettering maker and review the proportions in the preview.
Does the background colour get printed?
No. The background option only simulates the surface behind your lettering.
