Car sunshade printing produces windshield shades with your brand in full-colour sublimation or screen print, a gift that stays in the customer's car and faces the street every time it is parked. Exhibition Printing Riyadh makes them in-house for dealerships, insurers and real estate developers, delivering across Saudi Arabia.
In a hot climate a sunshade is one of the few free gifts nobody leaves behind. The printed side faces outward through the windshield, so your brand is read by passers-by in car parks, at malls and outside offices. That is why dealerships hand them over with new cars, insurers include them in policy welcome packs and real estate developers give them to visitors at project launches.
The two common constructions are a folding accordion shade with a reflective reverse, and a foldable round or twin-ring shade with a fabric cover. Accordion shades give a flat, rectangular print area and a firm surface. Ring shades pack smaller and are printed on fabric, which suits full-colour sublimation. We print on the outward-facing side, and the reverse is usually silver or black to reflect heat.
Sublimation reproduces photographs, gradients and campaign visuals edge to edge on polyester-faced shades. Screen printing suits a bold logo in one or two colours and keeps the cost per unit low on larger runs. Because windshields differ in size, tell us whether the shades are for sedans, SUVs or a mixed fleet so the fit is right. Standard orders usually take 2 to 5 business days plus delivery.

How is a car sunshade printed?
The shade arrives as a blank with a printable front face. For fabric-faced shades we print the artwork onto sublimation paper and press it under heat so the dye moves into the polyester, giving full colour with no surface layer to crack when the shade folds. For firm accordion shades with a coated face, screen printing lays solid ink colours directly on the panel. The reflective reverse is left unprinted. Every design is proofed at the shade's real dimensions so text sits clear of the fold lines.
Which sunshade should I choose for my campaign?
Choose sublimation on a fabric ring shade when the artwork is a photo, a gradient or a busy campaign visual, and when recipients will keep the shade in a door pocket. Choose a screen printed accordion shade when the message is a bold logo and a phone number, when the budget per piece must stay low, or when you want a rigid panel that stands up on the dashboard. For a mixed fleet, standard sizes cover most sedans; SUV owners appreciate the larger option.
How long does the print last in the heat?
Sublimated colour is inside the fibre, so it does not peel and copes well with dashboard temperatures, though years of direct sun will slowly lighten any colour. Screen printed shades resist heat well and should be folded along the designed creases rather than crushed. Advise recipients to let the shade cool and dry before storing it rolled in its sleeve. A sunshade used daily through Riyadh summers typically remains readable for a long time, and the brand stays with the car.

Car Sunshade Printing: common questions
Quick answers about our services, timing, artwork and delivery. Have another question? Call or WhatsApp us.
The side that faces outward through the windshield, so the design is read from the street. The inside is usually a plain reflective or dark surface.
Can you print a photo or a full campaign visual?
Yes, with sublimation on fabric-faced shades, which prints full colour edge to edge. Screen print is better suited to simple logos.
Do the shades fit every car?
Shades come in a few standard sizes rather than one per model. Tell us whether your recipients mostly drive sedans or SUVs and we will recommend a size that covers most windshields.
Can we print different dealership branch names on one order?
Yes. With sublimation, artwork versions can change without new setup, so each branch can have its own address or phone number. For screen print, each version needs its own screen.
Is a sunshade suitable as a gift for a rental car fleet?
It is a practical fit: the shade stays with the vehicle, carries the rental brand in every car park and protects the interior between hires. Order the size that matches the fleet's main models.
Do you deliver sunshades to showrooms outside Riyadh?
Yes, we ship to any city in the Kingdom. Shades are light but bulky, so the delivery cost depends on the quantity and destination.
