Fix MTO GVW Decal Deficiency | Ontario Commercial Vehicle Compliance

Receiving an MTO Schedule 1 deficiency notice for General Vehicle Weight (GVW) decal non-compliance is a common but serious issue for Ontario fleet operators. These notices typically arise when decals are missing, illegible, improperly positioned, or do not meet the specific size and contrast requirements outlined in the Highway Traffic Act. Ignoring this notice can lead to further penalties, vehicle impoundment, or increased scrutiny during roadside inspections.

Our service is designed to help you rectify this deficiency quickly and accurately. We specialize in printing high-durability GVW compliance labels tailored to your specific vehicle specifications. Whether you need to replace faded decals or install new ones on recently acquired assets, we ensure the output meets the visual standards required by Ontario Ministry of Transportation inspectors.

Key Features of Our GVW Decals:

  • Precision Printing: We print your provided GVW data exactly as submitted. We do not recreate or alter your artwork, ensuring the weight figures match your registration documents perfectly.
  • Durable Materials: Our labels are manufactured using high-grade vinyl and adhesive systems designed to withstand harsh Canadian weather, road salt, and UV exposure, ensuring long-term legibility.
  • Compliant Sizing: We adhere to standard industry dimensions for GVW decals to maximize visibility and compliance with general inspection criteria.
  • Fast Turnaround: We understand that downtime costs money. Our production process is optimized for rapid fulfillment to get your fleet back on the road.

How to Order:

To avoid errors, please provide your artwork in a vector format (AI, EPS, or PDF) or a high-resolution PDF. Ensure the text clearly displays the Gross Vehicle Weight as registered. If you are unsure of the exact dimensions required for your specific vehicle class, please contact our support team for guidance before placing your order.

Important Note: We are a printing service provider. We print customer-supplied content as-is. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the weight data and formatting comply with current MTO regulations. We do not provide legal advice or guarantee inspection outcomes, but we provide high-quality, compliant-print-ready materials to support your fleet’s regulatory obligations.
