Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Below are some of the most common questions we are asked. If your question is not addressed here, contact us and we'll be happy to answer.

What are Promo Plates made of?

Promo 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 experience 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 Promo 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

• 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.

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?

Promo Plate orders are placed through one of America's oldest and most trusted secure servers, Plug and Pay.  We never actually see your credit card number.

Are Promo Plates good value for my advertising dollar?

Promo Plates are one of the world's great advertising bargains. Dollar for dollar there is no more efficient or cost-effective form of advertising.

Promo 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, or even 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, your Promo Plate will easily last for 7 to 8 years in outdoor use. Properly cared for indoors they'll practically last forever.
