A whole-fleet order is a list of machines, a list of sticker types, and one approved proof. It is not thirty separate emails.
Start with the list
Group the machines: forklifts, telehandlers, access platforms, and the rest. For each group, say whether you need date labels, fleet numbers, name panels, or hire notices. One art file for the name is enough if the name does not change. Date labels use the dates you supply from the thorough examination reports. We do not set those dates.
Measure one typical panel in each group and note the machines that are smaller. A single size that does not fit the small machines will come back in a box.
Proof, then print
You get a proof before custom work is printed. Check spelling, colours and the fleet list against your asset list. After you approve it, that is what is printed. Catalogue lines that are in stock can dispatch the same day. Custom panels and one-off sizes are quoted and are not same-day catalogue items.
When a report later changes a date, order a replacement date label for that machine. Do not wait for the next full-fleet run and leave the old date on the truck.
Keep a simple record of what you ordered and which proof you approved. The next order is then a copy, not a reconstruction from memory. If a depot uses a different phone number, say so on the list. One wrong number printed fifty times is fifty wrong panels. Split the order by depot if the artwork differs. Do not send one logo and assume every depot’s phone number is printed on it. Write the exceptions on the list. Keep the approved proof with the asset list so the next person can reorder without starting the artwork again.
