    Posted by Bill Dewison on 9 June 2005 at 07:44

    Bit of a bizarre question for this time of the morning, but you know the GB stickers that go on the back of vehicles when you travel abroad… in your vehicle, not by plane (that would be daft, sticking stickers to a jumbo)… anyway, does anyone know if there is an official/standard size or do I just make it up as I go along?

    Cheers, Dewi

    I thought these had been superseeded by the new style “Euro” number plates.

    They probably have been Phill, but I have a chappies who wants 2 of them for some reason. Probably a caravan or similar 🙄

    As far as I remember they were about 100mm high and whatever that made the oval wide.

    I’d just make them. Nobody’s going to get jailed for a sticker being slightly over or under size are they 😕

    Hope not. I make PICT stickers over here 😀 Mind you nobody has a clue what they are 😀 😀 😀

    Dewi, do you mean those white ovals with a few black initials on them?
    As in if you go to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and get one that sez OBX on it?
    The one I have from Gettysburg (GBG) is 10mm high by 15mm wide.
    I hope I read that right.
    This one was made by a sign shop I know there & Edge printed.
    I once had to make a Calvin peeing on an OBX sticker, not one of my better days.
    Love….Jill

    Nice one, thank you Scozzie & Jill 😀

    I didn’t know whether there was a whole standard thing going on with them or something. I’ve already had a slap on the wrist this week over number plates, so I didn’t want to rock any boats. 🙄

    Thanks again,

    Cheers, Dewi

    Hi Dewi

    Official size of GB Stickers 18cm(W) x 13.2cm(H) approx

    I had similar 3 weeks ago – customer needed them because he did not have new style plates, I saw them down at Halfords for 99p pair the following weekend. And a friend of mine tells me you can get them free from your ferry company

    oooopsssss
