All templates are 1:20 scale. It is often useful to partially scale the templates in your design package, and then scale the remaining amount when printing. There are two common ways that this scaling can be applied:

1. Scale the template by 200%, and the finished the design at 1,000% for a combined scaling of 2,000%.
   This gives us an 1 inch = ten inches ratio when designing.
2. Scale the template by 166.666%, and then output the finished design at 1,200% for a combined scaling of 2,000%. This gives us a 1 inch = 1 foot ratio when designing.

Always measure the vehicle and check those measurements before printing your artwork.
