You’re probably well aware of how quickly paperwork can accumulate in a dealership office. From the beginning to the end of a deal, deal jackets help keep sales documents consistent, well organized, and manageable.
One of the most frequent questions we receive at US Auto Supplies is whether pre-printed or custom deal jackets are the better choice. The answer ultimately depends on your team’s daily needs and how your dealership operates.
This guide breaks down the differences so you can choose with confidence.
What Are Pre-Printed Deal Jackets?
With standard fields and layouts designed for typical dealership workflows, pre-printed deal jackets are ready to use right away. For teams seeking consistency without additional setup time, they are a practical and efficient option.
Two popular pre-printed choices include our Vehicle Deal Jackets, available in a variety of colors and ideal for everyday sales, and Dealer Record Envelopes or dealerships using ERA or comparable DMS platforms.
Why dealerships choose pre-printed deal jackets
- Easy and ready to use right out of the box
- Lower cost
- Consistent paperwork accross teams
- Easy to reorder and keep fully stocked
Dealerships with well-established, consistent sales procedures are best suited for pre-printed deal jackets.
What Are Custom Deal Jackets?
Custom deal jackets made specifically for your dealership allow you to choose the layout, fields, and branding to ensure the jacket accurately reflects how your team operates.
With our Custom Auto Deal Jackets, you can tailor everything from branding to compliance checklists, helping reduce manual work and handwritten notes.
Why some dealerships prefer custom deal jackets:
- Tailored to your business and workflow
- Support custom fields, design and logos for consistent branding
- Reduce errors and incomplete paperwork
-
Beneficial for complex processes
For dealerships with multiple departments, specialized needs, or a focus on long-term efficiency, custom deal jackets are often the best choice.

Which Deal Jacket Is Right for You?
Pre-printed deal jackets are frequently the best option if your dealership prioritizes affordability, simplicity, and speed. For larger-volume or document-heavy deals, options like Ultra HD Deal Jackets and Heavy-Duty Deal Jackets are excellent.
Over time, a custom solution might save time and lower errors if your workflow has extra steps, branding requirements, or particular compliance requirements.
To remain adaptable, many dealerships combine the two.
