I have Euro 5 or even Euro 6, why do I get a badge with a 4?


The number on the particulate matter sticker has nothing to do with the Euro class stated in the vehicle documents. It only states that the vehicle belongs to level 4 according to the particulate matter sticker scheme.

Are your particulate matter stickers recognized and valid throughout Germany?

Yes. We have all the necessary qualifications and can offer these officially recognized badges that are valid throughout Germany. Thanks to our seal, the inspection authorities can also find out at any time where the sticker came from and who made it.

Where do I stick the environmental sticker?

The particulate matter sticker should be placed on the inside of the windshield, bottom right.

Is your printed environmental sticker permanently UV-resistant?

Of course we cannot give you a lifetime guarantee. However, we have been producing printed particulate stickers for over 10 years and have had no problems with the color of the print fading. We see the long-term stability in our own fleet and in our workshop customers on site.

What should I pay attention to when applying the particulate matter sticker?

The windscreen must be at least 10°C and the surface must be cleaned beforehand. In winter it is best to apply the sticker after a ride, because the window has been warmed up by the vehicle heater. Please note: Once the sticker has been applied, you cannot remove it without destroying it (for example to correct poorly applied stickers). When removing the environmental sticker must be destroyed, this is required by law.

I would like to choose my sticker color myself. Is that possible?

no You can only get the color for which your vehicle meets the legal requirements.

I have a larger fleet. Are there any discounts?

Please contact us. We will make you a quote for this. However, a discount scale is already stored in the store. Simply place the desired quantity in the shopping cart and the discount will be displayed. CONTACT

What are the sanctions for entering an environmental zone without a valid, faded or incorrect particulate matter sticker?

The fine is 80 euros. Usually various surcharges are added, so that the fine ultimately amounts to more than 120 -150 euros.

Does my electric car need a particulate matter sticker?

Yes, vehicles with electric propulsion also require an environmental sticker.

Are there discount codes?

From time to time there are universal discount codes for your purchase. These are usually indicated on the homepage.
Specific discount codes are also possible. These are generally sent via a newsletter.

Am I obliged to place the environmental sticker on my vehicle?

No, there is no obligation to do this. If you do not drive in environmental zones, you do not need a particulate matter sticker. However, the sticker is mandatory within the designated environmental zone.


What if I only park my vehicle within the environmental zone?

You must then also attach an environmental sticker.

Why don't you have a blue environmental sticker?

The blue particulate matter sticker is currently only in consultation or planning. When the time comes and this is entered, you can of course also receive/order the blue sticker from us. Your vehicle must also meet the legal requirements for this.

My particulate matter sticker is no longer readable. I need a new one

If you enter an environmental zone, an environmental sticker with license plate must also be affixed to the vehicle. This must of course be readable for the control bodies. Otherwise you risk the same penalty as if you do not have a particulate matter sticker on your vehicle.

Is it punishable if I knowingly place an illegal or counterfeit particulate matter sticker?

Yes, this is a criminal offense. The owner or driver of the vehicle is liable for such procedure. Even the person who provides the environmental sticker is a tool in documenting counterfeiting. There is a risk of a fine and up to five years in prison.
