Guide to choosing the right start number sticker

Choosing the right bib number sticker is all about combining the right size and design with race rules and personal preferences. Here's a complete guide to help you make the best choice.


1. Sizes and regulations

Our decals are adapted to meet most regulations from organizations such as SVEMO and SBF. Each decal size is carefully designed to fit regulations regarding the height, width and margins of the numbers. Here is an overview:

  • Rectangular decals:

    • 22x12 cm (Number height: 10 cm) – Perfect for enduro and smaller spaces.
    • 20x25 cm (Number height: 15 cm) – Suitable for motocross and hobby sports.
    • 25x30 cm (Number height: 20 cm) – For motocross and other sports with medium-sized decals.
    • 46x30 cm (Number height: 20 cm) – Standard for rally.
    • 50x30 cm (Number height: 30 cm) – Optimal for folk races and larger competitions.
  • Circular decals:

    • Ø 30 cm (Number height: 15 cm) – For vintage racing and smaller vehicles.
    • Ø 40 cm (Number height: 20 cm) – Perfect for retro style and classic cars.
    • Ø 45 cm (Number height: 25 cm) – For larger vehicles and increased visibility.

Please note: Some number combinations, such as longer starting numbers, may require larger decals to meet margin and legibility regulations. Always check current regulations before ordering.


2. Customize your decal

All of our decals are customizable to meet your needs:

  • Number size and background color: We ensure that the numbers are adjusted to the size of the background and that margins are maintained according to regulations.
  • Sponsor logo: All decals include our RaceDigits.com logo as standard, providing a more affordable option. The logo can be color-matched to the numbers for a consistent look.
  • Sponsor-free option: If your competition does not allow sponsored decals, we offer an option to remove the logo. The responsibility for checking rules lies with you as the customer.

3. Important about previewing

Our preview is only a preview of your design and does not accurately reflect all customizations. Example:

  • The position of the sponsor logo can be adjusted depending on the line spacing between the numbers.
  • Slight variations in color and placement may occur on the finished product.
