Apply your car tag correctly.
CAR TAG APPLICATION
Step 1: Unpack your tag
Remove your car tag from its packaging.
We use recycled cardboard boxes to do our best to protect the print side of your tag during transportation. Once the print and or PVC is creased or bent, it can affect the overall look and feel of the tag. Unfortunately, this is something we can’t always control once the parcel is with the courier.
Handle your tag gently as you remove it from the plastic sleeve.

Step 2: Prepare and fold the tag
Inside your tag, you will see an area with double-sided tape, shown as blue strips in the illustration. The one tape section sits on the inside of your tag (the grey backing where no print or artwork appears).
- Carefully remove the red or blue protective backing from the tape on the inside area.
- Line up the edges of the tag precisely; correct alignment is important to maintain the tag’s shape.
- Once stuck together, please DO NOT crease the folded edge.
The fold should stay rounded to create the signature “water droplet” shape shown in the illustration. This rounded fold is not only aesthetic; it also helps give the tag added rigidity. A hard crease may cause the tag to collapse or flop more easily, depending on placement.

Step 3: Choose the right location on your car
For best results:
- Remove the hook portion of your VELCRO® strip.
- Select a flat surface inside the seam of your boot or door, with at least 2 cm of depth.
- This allows the tag to sit securely while protruding cleanly from the body of the car.
- Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application for a long-term hold.
- Remove the protective backing from the VELCRO® strip and apply it directly to the body of your car.
- You may install it on plastic trim panels as long as the surface is smooth and glossy, not matte or textured.
- Do not apply the tag to rubber door or boot seals; the adhesive will not bond properly to these surfaces.
- Allow the adhesives at least 72 hours to bind to their respective surfaces.
