A vehicle wrap is a process of covering the panels of a vehicle with an adhesive vinyl. The vinyl can cover part or all of the vehicle's surface depending on your choice and budget.

Full exterior wrap: Covers the entire exterior body panels of the vehicle. With an exterior wrap we wrap just enough inside of the door shuts so the original colour of the vehicle is not visible from the outside.

Partial wrap: Covers specific sections of the vehicle, e.g. 3/4 wrap, 1/2 wrap, bonnet or roof wrap.

Door shut wraps: The internal body panels in the original colour of the vehicle are an additional option that are not typically included on the cost of a 'wrap'. These parts can be wrapped but they take a greater amount of time to wrap than exterior panels.

Colour change wrap: changes the exterior colour of the vehicle using one of the many available stock vinyls available from various vinyl manufacturers in a large range of colours, finishes and textures.

Printed wrap: If the exact shade you require is not available in a stock vinyl for a colour change wrap it can be custom printed. Printed wraps are popular with commercial wraps for branding and advertising with eye-catching images.

This depends on the coverage area of the vehicle and the materials being used. Typically a full exterior wrap can take 2-3 days for a car or small van. The client will always be given an estimated timeframe for how long a wrap will take before the wrap takes place

The lifespan of a vehicle wrap depends on various factors, such as quality of the materials used and how well it is maintained. In general, a high-quality wrap can last from 5 to 7 years.

We can offer advice on how to look after a vehicle wrap during the consultation process.

If your vehicle has original factory paint, installing and removing a premium grade vinyl wrap is designed not to damage your paintwork. Resprays and repairs to paintwork however cannot be guaranteed not to cause damage because the quality or the aftermarket paint and curing time is unknown. You should bear this in mind if you know your vehicle has had any additional paintwork

Our vinyl wraps and vehicle graphics can be removed easily, providing the correct techniques and equipment are used. You may wish to do this if you are selling your vehicle or returning it to the lease company. Instructions for this procedure can be offered upon request or we can provide a quotation to remove the wrap for you.

If you’re not after a full vehicle wrap, we also offer eye-catching decals and detailing services for both commercial and private vehicles. Please discuss your requirements with a member of the sales team.

It is important that we receive the vehicle in the best possible condition before it is brought to us. If a vehicle arrives in poor or dirty condition it will effect the timescale quoted and may require additional prep work which could lead to additional costs.

Although you may not realise it, signwriting is a skilled, cherished and often undervalued art form that has helped to advertise products and businesses for thousands of years – far removed from the van signwriting of today.

But due to advances in technology, we can now design, print and apply graphics and vehicle wraps in a matter of hours, but of course, this hasn’t always been the case.

Anyone who has a vehicle wrap should inform their insurance company of such changes, even if a vehicle has received a part wrap.

As with insurance companies, the DVLA also needs to be informed. However, this is usually a very quick process that involves the completion of a V5C form.

Due to the fact that vehicle wrapping can last for so long, it is more cost effective than other labour-intensive painting options.

What’s more, 3M vinyl can protect a vehicle’s body for this entire period, meaning that chips and scratches can be totally avoided, even up to seven years down the line.

Additionally, if you decide to change your marketing or fleet design, we can get to work unwrapping a vehicle and applying new designs in no time.
