Why Dealers Choose Our Backer Printing — Permanent Adhesive
Combine pre-printed dealer information on the backer with permanent outdoor-grade adhesive. Your lot team applies them once—no equipment, no reprinting, no weather worries. FTC-compliant and engineered for open-lot durability with zero adhesion failure.
Pre-Printed Dealer Information
We handle the setup. Your dealership name, address, phone number, and logo print directly on the backer panel. Receiving team simply peels and applies to the window. No in-house printing equipment or software licensing required. Saves 20+ minutes per delivery vehicle.
Permanent Adhesive for Outdoor Exposure
PA (Permanent Adhesive) bonds permanently to exterior glass on all four sides. Unlike removable or light-tack options, permanent adhesive withstands rain, wind, UV rays, and temperature swings—critical for open-lot vehicles sitting 30+ days before sale. Prevents peeling, curling, and adhesion failure in humid or high-heat climates.
Heavy White Weather-Resistant Stock
8.5 × 11" form printed on 10-mil heavy white polyester—not paper. Resists moisture, fading, and tearing. Outdoor lots in Texas heat, coastal humidity, or northern snow seasons demand stock that survives 60+ days without degradation. Weather-resistant material ensures legibility and adhesion through auction cycles.
FTC Compliance Built In
Every sticker meets 16 CFR Part 455 (Used Car Rule) formatting and content requirements. Backer printing includes ASA/NADA standard layout. Your legal team reviews once at setup; every subsequent unit ships compliant. Eliminates risk of regulatory penalties tied to missing disclosures or non-standard form geometry.
Rapid Turnaround for Seasonal Demand
5–7 business days from proof approval to delivery from our Mansfield TX facility. Supports dealership inventory surges and lot-capacity planning. Stock runs up to 10,000 units per order with minimum order flexibility. Overnight and expedited options available for time-sensitive compliance needs.
Wholesale Pricing at Scale
Per-unit cost decreases with volume. Active dealers ordering 1,000+ units per quarter unlock tiered pricing. No setup fees after initial backer design approval. Reorder pricing reflects standing dealer status. Total cost of ownership—including labor savings from pre-printed backer—beats in-house printing services.
Exterior PA Backer Printing — Dealer FAQ
Q. What does 'PA Backer Printing' mean?
PA = Permanent Adhesive (outdoor-grade, 4-sided). Backer = the rear panel of the FTC Buyers Guide form where your dealership name, phone, and address print. Your lot team receives stickers ready to peel and apply—no on-site printing or equipment required.
Q. Can we customize the backer with logos or hours?
Yes. Backer design is flexible. Your ASA/NADA-compliant layout can include dealership name, address, phone, hours, QR code, or logo. We require proof approval before production. Backer design fee applies to initial setup; reorders use the same design at no extra charge unless changes are requested.
Q. What adhesive strength do we need for outdoor glass?
Permanent adhesive (PA) is mandatory for exterior glass on open lots. Light-tack or removable adhesive will fail in sun, rain, and wind within 10–15 days. Permanent adhesive creates a seal that lasts 60+ days outdoors. If your lot has covered or partially sheltered vehicles, ask about light-adhesive interior versions for cost savings.
Q. How long does PA adhesive take to set on exterior glass?
Initial set is 24 hours in normal conditions (60–75°F). Full cure is 72 hours. During this time, avoid washing or heavy rain on the windshield. After 72 hours, the sticker can withstand highway speeds, car washes, and extreme weather without adhesion loss or peeling.
Q. Do we need to prep the glass before applying these stickers?
Clean glass with mild soap and water, then dry completely. Remove any existing stickers, wax, or film. A clean, dry surface ensures adhesion. Adhesive failure is almost always due to inadequate glass prep. Your lot team should wipe the application area with isopropyl alcohol 30 seconds before sticker placement.
Q. What's the minimum order, and how long is turnaround?
Minimum order is 1,000 units. 5–7 business days from proof approval to shipment from Mansfield TX. Expedited production (3–4 business days) available for rush orders at 15% surcharge. Most active dealers order 1,000–5,000 units per quarter.
Q. Can we reorder with the same backer design without a new proof?
Yes. Once your backer design is approved and on file, reorders process without reproof. Simply place the order with your standard SKU and delivery address. Reorder turnaround is often faster (5–6 business days) because design and setup are already complete.

How Dealers Use Exterior PA Backer Printing
Open-Lot Inventory Management Vehicles arriving on the lot require FTC Buyers Guide disclosure immediately upon placement. Our stickers apply directly to the driver-side windshield or side glass with no in-house labor beyond a 30-second peel-and-stick operation. Heavy white polyester resists fading and tearing, maintaining legibility even after 60+ days of lot sun exposure.
High-Turnover Dealerships Dealers turning inventory every 10–20 days benefit from permanent adhesive that bonds instantly and survives lot washing, rain, and temperature swings. No re-stickering, no adhesive failure, no compliance gaps. Your lot team applies once per vehicle and moves on—labor savings add up across 50+ monthly arrivals.
Compliance-Focused Operations Pre-printed backer eliminates printing errors and ensures every sticker carries your dealership’s ASA-standard contact information. Your legal team approves the backer design once; every subsequent order ships identical and compliant. Reduces audit risk and dealer-specific regulatory exposure.
Multi-Location Dealership Groups Manage a group’s lot compliance from one centralized AK Dealer Services account. Each location receives stickers pre-branded with its local address and phone. Consolidates supplier relationships while maintaining location-specific disclosure compliance across the entire group.
Seasonal and Auction Cycles Stock stickers ahead of seasonal peaks (spring/summer inventory surges, end-of-month promotions). Permanent adhesive means reorder quantities are more predictable—vehicles aren’t lost to adhesive failure or re-stickering labor. Reduces last-minute emergency orders and expedited surcharges.
FTC Buyers Guide Compliance Under 16 CFR Part 455
The Federal Trade Commission’s Used Car Rule (16 CFR Part 455) mandates that every used vehicle offered for sale carry a clearly visible Buyers Guide disclosure on the driver-side window. The Buyers Guide must disclose warranty coverage (or AS IS status), major systems condition, and the dealer’s contact information. Our exterior PA backer printing service ensures every vehicle on your lot meets this requirement without exception.
The backer panel—the rear side of the sticker visible from outside the glass—must include the dealership’s name, address, and phone number as the buyer’s contact point for warranty claims or disputes. AK Dealer Services pre-prints this information during production, eliminating the risk of incomplete disclosures or missing dealer details. Every sticker ships FTC-compliant and audit-ready.
Dealers must retain a copy of the Buyers Guide form for each vehicle sold, filed per FTC record-keeping rules. Our stickers are digitally recorded and FSC-certified, simplifying your compliance documentation. State-level variations (particularly regarding AS IS sales restrictions in Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, and West Virginia) are accommodated through backer customization or form-type selection. Contact our compliance team if your state has unique disclosure requirements.
Outdoor Durability and Permanent Adhesive Performance
Permanent adhesive (PA) is a critical differentiator for exterior glass applications. Unlike light-tack or removable options, PA bonds permanently to glass and resists peeling, curling, and adhesive failure in high-weathering environments. Open lots expose stickers to direct sunlight, rain, humidity, temperature swings, and dust—conditions that degrade light-adhesive materials within 10–15 days.
Our heavy white polyester stock is engineered to complement permanent adhesive. The material resists moisture penetration, fading from UV exposure, and tearing from weather and handling. A 10-mil gauge provides structural integrity without excessive bulk, ensuring the sticker lies flat against curved windshields and doesn’t trap air bubbles that lead to adhesion failure.
Permanent adhesive cures fully in 72 hours at normal temperature and humidity. Initial set is 24 hours; vehicles can be driven or washed after that with minimal risk. During the cure window, avoid rain and high-pressure washing. Once cured, the sticker withstands hot-climate storage (100°F+ Texas lots), coastal humidity, and northern winter freeze-thaw cycles without degradation or edge-curling.
Our quality control includes adhesion testing on sample stickers from each production run. If adhesion fails our standards, we reprint the entire batch at no cost. This guarantee reflects our confidence in permanent adhesive performance and stock durability across diverse climates.
Ordering Process
Step 1: Design and Proof Submit your backer layout requirements (dealership name, address, phone, logo, hours, etc.) via email or our online portal. Our design team creates a proof matching ASA/NADA Buyers Guide standards. You review for accuracy and approve in writing. Proof approval takes 2–3 business days.
Step 2: Order Placement Confirm minimum order quantity (1,000+ units), delivery address, and timeline. Our sales team provides a formal quote and SKU assignment. You authorize production and payment (net 30 or prepaid options available).
Step 3: Production Once approved, we begin production immediately. 5–7 business days includes printing, cutting, adhesive application, quality check, and packing. You receive email notifications at production start and shipment dispatch.
Step 4: Delivery and Application Stickers arrive in bulk boxes (typically 1,000 units per case for easy handling). Unpack at your receiving area and distribute to the lot team. Application is straightforward: clean the glass, dry completely, peel the backing, and apply with firm pressure. Set for 24 hours before heavy vehicle handling.
Step 5: Reorder (Optional) Once your backer design is on file, reorders require no new proof. Simply place the order with your SKU and delivery details. Reorder turnaround is often 5–6 business days because setup is already complete.
