Wheelie Bin Lettering FAQs
Will letters stick to a plastic wheelie bin?
Some low-energy plastics are difficult to bond to. Check the bin material and vinyl adhesive compatibility first.
Should I use my house number or full address?
A large number is often easiest to read. Add more detail only if there is enough space.
Can I order the same number for several bins?
Yes. Check that each bin will accept the same size and material before ordering copies.
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.
