Getting your vehicle sign written is an important decision to make. That’s why here at Signworx we’ve pulled together some of the most commonly asked questions we receive, and we’ve answered them for you.
What is vehicle wrapping?
Vehicle wrapping refers to the self-adhesive signage that is “wrapped” either over a section of or around a vehicle. The most commonly wrapped vehicle is a van because of the large amount of unwindowed space.
What material is used for vehicle wraps?
Vehicle wraps are made of heavy-duty vinyl with a sticky self-adhesive backing on one side. The material is waterproof and has a strong resistance to UV colour fading.
The material is flexible but durable and so can be fitted around contours of any vehicle without worrying it will split or shrink.
How is a full vehicle wrap fitted?
A full vehicle wrap involves covering the whole motor with specially printed self-sticking vinyl.
The sign maker will mock up a design on design software, such as Adobe Illustrator. the design can be digitally put into context, showing the client how their vehicle will look when it has been wrapped. Once the client is happy, the signage maker will expertly print and cut the vinyl sheets. The vinyl is then fitted onto the prepared vehicle surface with expert technique.
The overall design is made to fit and follow the contours, size, and shape of a vehicle – it is like giving the vehicle a “second skin”!
The design can include photographs, illustrations, patterns, and text. Your design can be truly unique and individual.
Can I change the colour of my vehicle?
Like you can respray a car to a different colour, you can also wrap it to whatever colour you choose!
Vinyl wrapping is a cheaper alternative to respraying, and it is one that can be easily removed and redone without any damage to the vehicle.
How long does vinyl vehicle wrap last?
The life expectancy of high-quality vehicle wrap can last between 5 – 7 years. Easily removed, you can replace wrapping quickly. As your business changes, designing new signage for your vehicles makes your business look UpToDate and fresh.
