Motorcycle Deal Jackets

(Showing 20 of 20)

A deal jacket holds everything a sale generates: contract, title paperwork, finance documents, trade papers and disclosures. It has to survive the deal, the filing, and being pulled again months later. Motorcycle deal jackets are the same stock car dealers use, and the useful point is that powersports files are usually thinner, so the heaviest grades here are more than most bike shops need.

Start with standard weight. Plain jackets suit dealers who stamp or label their own; pre printed arrive with the sale fields laid out. Move up to 100# heavy duty only if you write finance regularly and files run thick. The 150# ultra heavy duty is built for high volume car stores and rarely earns its cost on a powersports deal.

Two things worth knowing. 3 in 1 jackets cover sale, reconditioning and cost detail on one envelope and can double as the vehicle record, which suits a smaller store where one person runs a deal end to end. And colour top jackets put a coloured panel where you see it in a drawer, so finance against cash or new against used is visible without pulling files. On pack sizes, 500 drops the unit cost noticeably, but powersports sales are seasonal, so work from annual volume rather than a good month.

Motorcycle Deal Jackets

A deal jacket holds everything generated by a sale: the contract, title paperwork, finance documents, trade papers, and disclosures. It has to survive being handled through the deal, filed, and pulled again months later if a question comes up.

Powersports deals are often thinner files than car deals, particularly cash sales, so the heaviest jackets in this range are usually more than a motorcycle dealer needs. Start with how thick your typical file is and how long it sits in the cabinet.

Standard Weight: The Usual Starting Point

For most powersports dealers this tier is sufficient. Plain jackets in 100 or 500 packs suit dealers who stamp or label their own. Pre-printed jackets, also in 500 packs, come with the vehicle sale fields already laid out.

The 500 packs bring the per-jacket cost down substantially. Worth it if you turn enough units that a 100 pack lasts only a month or two.

3-in-1 Jackets

The original 3-in-1 deal jacket covers the sale, reconditioning and cost detail on one envelope, and can serve as a vehicle record. The same format is available as 100 packs and 500 packs, and DSA-546 adds a thumb indentation for easier opening on 32# Kraft stock in 12 colours.

Heavier Stock for Financed Deals

If you write finance regularly, files get thicker and stay in the cabinet longer. Heavy duty jackets are 100# stock at 9-3/8in x 12in with a 1/2in extension, in 7 colours, also available pre-printed.

Above that, ultra heavy duty jackets at 150# are the thickest available, also pre-printed. Honestly, most motorcycle dealers do not need 150#. It earns its cost where files are large and handled repeatedly over years.

Colour Coding

Colour top jackets carry a coloured panel across the top for identifying department, finance type, or new versus used at a glance in a drawer. Available pre-printed, plain, and custom printed in 4 colour top choices.

For a full filing system, the File Right colour-code jacket is pre-printed with dedicated side label placement lines, so colour-code labels sit consistently and a misfiled jacket is visible from the end of the row.

When Files Will Not Fit

The 1in expandable jacket is 11-point stock with a gusset that opens to hold extra paperwork or small items. One practical note: the gusset must be folded before use, so set the boxes up before they reach the desk rather than having someone work it out mid-deal.

Custom Printed

All the main formats are available with your branding, priced per jacket: DSA-500 in 12 colours, heavy duty in 10 colours, colour top, and ultra heavy duty in 6 colours. We can match an existing jacket or work from your artwork.

FAQ

Which weight does a motorcycle dealer actually need?

For cash and simple retail deals, the standard weight jackets are enough. Move to 100# heavy duty if you write finance regularly and files run thick. The 150# ultra heavy duty is built for high-volume car stores and is more jacket than most powersports dealers need.

Plain, pre-printed, or custom?

Plain is cheapest and suits dealers who stamp or label their own. Pre-printed has the sale fields laid out, which saves writing them each time. Custom carries your name and is priced per jacket, so the premium is modest at volume and the file looks like yours when a customer or lender sees it.

Is the 500 pack worth it?

The per-jacket cost drops noticeably at 500. The question is storage and turnover: if a 100 pack lasts you six months, buying 500 means jackets sitting in a cupboard for two years. Powersports sales are seasonal, so work from annual volume rather than a good month.

What does a colour top jacket do?

It puts a coloured panel where you see it in a filing drawer, so new versus used, or finance versus cash, is visible without pulling files. Pre-printed and plain versions are available. For a full system with side labels, use the File Right colour-code jacket.

What is a 3-in-1 jacket?

One envelope covering the sale, the reconditioning, and the cost detail, which can also serve as the vehicle record. The original 3-in-1 consolidates what would otherwise be separate documents, useful where one person handles a deal end to end, as is common in a smaller powersports store.

Anything to know about the expandable jacket?

Yes. The 1in expandable jacket has a gusset that must be folded before the jacket is used. It is quick, but worth doing when the box arrives rather than discovering it while a customer waits.
