Wraps, reflective striping & markings for ambulance fleets
Ambulance Graphics That Stand Out When It Matters
An ambulance wrap uses printed and reflective vinyl to apply your agency’s branding, required markings and safety striping to the vehicle. RoadRunner Wraps designs, produces and installs ambulance wraps, decals and reflective graphics for private ambulance companies, hospital transport fleets and EMS agencies across Maryland, Washington, DC and Northern Virginia. We lay out every job from your agency’s spec, so the finished ambulance looks right and keeps required markings in place.
What We Do for Ambulance Fleets
- Full and partial wraps for Type I, II and III ambulances, wheelchair vans and other medical transport vehicles.
- Agency identification. Company or agency names, logos, unit numbers and phone numbers.
- Standard ambulance markings. Mirror-image “AMBULANCE” lettering, Star of Life emblems where authorized, and other markings your spec calls for.
- Reflective striping and rear chevrons to help your units stand out at night and on the roadside.
- Fleet rebrands. New name or new owner? We remove old graphics and install your new look across the fleet.
- New builds and remounts. Graphics for new ambulances and for modules remounted on a new chassis.

Common Ambulance Markings
Most ambulances carry a standard set of exterior markings. Exact requirements come from your state EMS office, your agency’s specifications and your ambulance manufacturer, so we lay out graphics from your spec.
| Marking | What it does |
|---|---|
| Mirror-image “AMBULANCE” | Reversed lettering on the front so drivers ahead can read it in their rearview mirrors |
| Star of Life | Identifies the vehicle as an EMS unit. It’s a certification mark registered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and its use on vehicles is governed by federal and state rules. |
| Agency name and unit number | Lets dispatch, hospitals, other responders and the public identify the unit |
| Retroreflective striping | Reflects headlights back to drivers so the ambulance shows up at night and in bad weather |
| Rear chevrons | Alert approaching drivers when the ambulance is stopped on or near the road |
| Certification labels | Manufacturer and certification labels, such as the CAAS GVS label, must stay visible. We lay out graphics around them. |
Standards update over time. The CAAS Ground Vehicle Standard (GVS) V4.0 took effect July 1, 2025, and NFPA 1917 for automotive ambulances was combined into NFPA 1900 effective January 1, 2024. If your spec references either one, send it to us with your quote request. Sources: CAAS, “CAAS Releases GVS V4.0”, FAMA, “NFPA 1900: What’s New and Why” and Star of Life (Wikipedia).
Full Wrap, Partial Wrap or Decals?
- Full wrap. Covers the whole body for maximum branding and a uniform look. A good fit for private providers and fleet rebrands.
- Partial wrap. Printed graphics on the sides and rear over your existing paint. Strong branding at a lower cost.
- Decals and striping only. Lettering, emblems, unit numbers and reflective striping. Ideal for agencies with a traditional look or tight budgets.
Not sure which fits? Send us photos of your units and we’ll recommend an approach.
Design Tips for Ambulance Graphics
- Keep it high-contrast. Clear, bold lettering reads faster in traffic than detailed artwork.
- Keep working areas clear. Graphics shouldn’t cover warning lights, vents, compartment seals or door handles.
- Use one fleet standard. A consistent layout makes every unit recognizable, whatever the chassis.
- Plan for change. Unit numbers, phone numbers and logos change. A layout that’s easy to update saves money later.
How Our Ambulance Wrap Process Works
1
Send Your Spec
Share your vehicle type, photos, branding and any marking requirements. Call 301-937-3777 or use our form.
2
Layout & Proof
Our designers create your layout, or you can bring files from your own designer. You approve a digital proof before anything is produced.
3
Production
We print on brand-name vehicle vinyl from manufacturers like 3M and Avery and cut your reflective striping and markings.
4
Installation
Our certified installers apply your graphics. Tell us how long each unit can be out of service and we’ll plan around it.
How Much Do Ambulance Wraps Cost?
Ambulance graphics are quoted per vehicle. Price depends on the ambulance type and size, full vs. partial coverage, how much reflective striping and how many markings you need, and whether old graphics have to be removed first. We offer fleet discounts for providers outfitting multiple units. Request a free quote with photos of your units, or see our vehicle wrap pricing page.

Ambulance Wrap FAQs
Can you wrap Type I, Type II and Type III ambulances?
Yes. We wrap all three ambulance types, plus wheelchair vans and other medical transport vehicles.
Why is “AMBULANCE” written backwards on the front?
The mirror-image lettering reads correctly in a rearview mirror, so drivers ahead know an ambulance is behind them.
Can we put the Star of Life on our vehicles?
The Star of Life is a certification mark registered by NHTSA for emergency medical care and EMS vehicles, and states also regulate its use. If you’re unsure whether your vehicles qualify, check with your state EMS office before we add it.
Will a wrap affect our ambulance’s certification?
Graphics don’t replace your vehicle’s certification. Keep manufacturer and CAAS GVS labels visible and follow your state EMS office’s marking rules. We’ll lay out your graphics around required labels and markings.
Can you rebrand our whole fleet after an acquisition?
Yes. We can remove existing graphics and install your new branding across the fleet, with fleet discounts for multiple units.
How much does an ambulance wrap cost?
Ambulance graphics are quoted per vehicle based on the ambulance type, coverage, reflective striping and markings, and any removal of old graphics. Fleet discounts are available. Send us photos for a free quote.
