Truck lettering in Newark, NJ
Mobile lettering, wraps and signs applied at your yard in Newark. Third generation, family owned in Chester.
Lombardo Lettering has been lettering trucks in Newark and across Essex County for over 30 years, and we do it in your yard rather than ours. Our shop is in Chester, a short run from Newark along I-78, I-280, Route 21 and the Turnpike, which is why local jobs often land a same-week appointment.
Truck lettering for Newark businesses
The businesses we letter in Newark are mostly trucking, freight, construction and food distribution. Their trucks work I-78, I-280, Route 21 and the Turnpike and park at customers’ homes, on job sites and around the Ironbound and the port district, where a clean layout with a legible phone number does more work than any ad they could buy. We size type for the panel and the viewing distance, keep the copy short enough to read at speed, and proof the design on a template of your actual vehicle before anything is cut.
A typical Newark job runs like this. You call or send a photo of the truck, we talk through wording and placement, and you approve a proof. On the day, we drive to you, wash and de-grease the panels, and squeegee premium Avery, 3M or Oraflow cast film into place. Doors, tailgate and a phone number on a pickup is two to three hours. A box truck with full sides takes longer. Either way you keep the vehicle, and there is no shop drop-off costing you a day of billable work.
How the job runs in Newark
Compliance is often what prompts the first call. New Jersey expects a commercial vehicle to display the owner or lessee name and the identification required for its class, and licensed trades carry their own number display requirements. We are a lettering shop rather than a law firm, so confirm the specifics for your vehicle and license with the NJ Motor Vehicle Commission — but we will make sure what goes on the truck is correctly sized, high contrast, permanently applied and positioned where an inspector expects to find it. Magnetic panels tend to disappear; cut vinyl does not.
Lettering is the start of it. In and around Newark we also apply partial and full wraps, letter storefront windows and office doors, fabricate and install job-site and storefront signs, print banners for openings and hiring pushes, number dumpsters and containers, identify excavators and loaders, print crew shirts and hi-vis that match the trucks, and remove old graphics cleanly for lease returns and resale. If it holds vinyl, we can put your name on it.
More than lettering
For Newark companies running more than a couple of vehicles, we set a fleet spec: approved layouts per body type, exact colors, letter heights, placement measured off panel lines, and where unit numbers and legal identification live. It gets stored, so the truck you buy in three years matches the one you lettered today, and batch visits let us bring several vehicles into line in a single morning.

Truck lettering in Newark — FAQs
Do you come to Newark?
Yes. Every lettering and wrap job in Newark is done on site — your yard, your driveway or the job site. We bring everything with us.
How long will my truck be tied up in Newark?
A pickup or van with doors, tailgate and a phone number is usually two to three hours. Larger vehicles take longer, but the truck stays with you the whole time.
How soon can you be in Newark?
Chester is a short drive from Newark, so small jobs and compliance lettering often get a same-week or next-day slot. Fleet batches are scheduled by the block.
Can you match the rest of my Newark fleet?
Yes. Send a photo of a lettered truck and we will match layout, type and colors so the new vehicle looks like it came from the same batch.
