Sticker Decals for L300 Delivery Van

If you own a Mitsubishi L300 in the Philippines, you own the backbone of the local logistics industry. But look around – is your van just another white box in traffic?

Whether you are a private owner avoiding LTO apprehensions or a business owner wanting free advertising, the right sticker decals are essential. In this guide, we go beyond the basic product listings to give you everything you need to know about L300 delivery van stickers, from LTO compliance to turning your van into a money-making mobile billboard.

1. The Essentials: LTO-Required Stickers (Don’t Get Apprehended)

Before you think about cool designs, you must comply with the law. Many L300 owners on Facebook groups ask, “Huli ba kapag walang sticker?” (Is it a violation without a sticker?).

According to Republic Act No. 4136 and LTO regulations, specific markings are required depending on your vehicle’s registration.

“NOT FOR HIRE” Sticker:
- Who needs it: L300 vans with green (private) plates that are used for company logistics but not for public transport services.
- Placement: Usually on the side doors.
- Purpose: To inform authorities that you are not a “Colorum” (illegal public transport).
Capacity Markings:
- Details: Must show “Gross Wt.” (Weight) and “Net Cap.” (Capacity) and “No. of Pass.” (Passengers).
- Why: Mandatory for trucks and delivery vans to ensure you aren’t overloaded.
“Keep Distance” / “How’s My Driving?”:
- While often associated with PUVs, these are crucial safety additions for private delivery vans to reduce liability in accidents.

💡 Pro Tip: Don’t settle for cheap paper stickers. Look for Machine Cut Vinyl from sellers like those on Lazada or Shopee to ensure they don’t fade after one rainy season.

2. Commercial Branding: Turn Your L300 into a Mobile Billboard

Your L300 has a massive flat surface area – especially if it’s an FB body. Leaving it blank is a wasted marketing opportunity.

The “3-Second Rule” Design: Traffic moves fast. Your design must communicate three things in 3 seconds:
1. Logo/Name: Who are you?
2. Service: What do you deliver? (e.g., “Fresh Eggs,” “Lipat Bahay,” “Catering”)
3. Contact: Large, readable phone number.
Partial Wrap vs. Spot Decals:
- Spot Decals (Budget: ₱500 – ₱1,500): Logo on the door and contact info on the box.
- Partial Wrap (Budget: ₱3,500 – ₱8,000): Covers the rear half of the van. High impact, lower cost than full wrap.

3. Material Guide: Vinyl vs. Reflectorized vs. Laminated

Not all stickers are created equal. When browsing Facebook Marketplace or Lazada, check the material specs:

Material Type	Best For	Pros	Cons
Outdoor Vinyl (3M/Oracal)	Logos, Text, Contact Info	3-5 year lifespan, waterproof, no fading.	Standard finish (not reflective).
Reflectorized (Honeycomb)	Safety Warnings, Rear Bumpers	Glows at night when hit by light; high visibility.	Harder to remove; more expensive.
Laminated Decals	Full Color Images (Photos)	Protects ink from UV rays and car wash scratches.	Thicker, requires professional install.

4. DIY Installation Guide (Save ₱500 Labor Fee)

Bought a “Do It Yourself” set online? Here is the fail-proof “Wet Method” for applying vinyl decals on your L300.

Tools Needed: Shampoo-water mix in a spray bottle, squeegee (or an old ID card), masking tape.

Clean: Wash the surface thoroughly. Remove all wax, oil, and dust.
Spray: Mist the surface with the soapy water. Do not be afraid to get it wet.
Peel & Place: Peel the sticker backing and place it on the wet surface. The water lets you slide it around to get it perfect.
Squeegee: Once positioned, use the ID card to push the water out from under the sticker. Start from the center and push outward.
Dry: Let it dry for 1-2 hours before peeling off the transfer tape.

5. Price Watch: How Much Should You Pay?

Don’t get overcharged. Based on current market rates (Lazada, Shopee, and print shops):

Standard Regulation Set (Not for Hire + Capacity): ₱150 – ₱250
Windshield Visor Sticker (Sunstrip): ₱250 – ₱450
Custom Company Logo (Door size): ₱300 – ₱600 per piece
Full Vehicle Wrap (FB Body): ₱15,000 – ₱25,000 (Professional Service)

Your Mitsubishi L300 is a workhorse, but it doesn’t have to look boring. Whether you just need the legally required “Not for Hire” decals or a full business wrap, investing in high-quality vinyl stickers is one of the cheapest upgrades you can make.
