We are often approached by clients that say they want a full car wrap. I usually ask, are you sure you want a full wrap and not a partial wrap or cut lettering and decals? I can almost hear the the deflated expression on the other end of the phone. Then I ask, do you have a budget for this project? After finding out some peripheral information about the vehicle targeted for a wrap, I give an idea what it could cost.

If it is a car or SUV, a full wrap can run anywhere from $2000 up to $3000 depending on the curves involved, if the roof has to be done, how much detail needs to be lined up, the design, and other factors. In order to do a good looking design for a truck wrap or car wrap, planning is an essential part of the process, and it takes time to do a good quality job. If a vehicle wrap plan truely supports the brand and the splash it can provide on the raod, then I am all for it!

When we discuss the goals for a business, we usually start to see the ROI benefits of a well designed and placed car decal or truck decal along with cut vinyl lettering. In many cases, we see vehicles on the road that, quite frankly, have lost the message amongst all the fancy images....that is a wasted opportunty to get your message across affectively. Many opportunities in vehicle marketing may involve a very short amounts of time, so make sure the design and message can be seen and absorbed quickly to maximize the opportunities.

 Take a look at the sample above for iVideo. The images are simple, clean and eye catching in a fast paced invironment. Someone can quickly decipher who it is without much effort. They can get the company name, phone number and website...bammo! That is your goal....mission accomplished. In the below photo, we place decals on all new Relmec vans that arrive. They don't want anything more than what you see, since their trucks are everywhere, the branding works because it is memorable.....keep it simple!

Now don't get me wrong.....I would love to get your vehicle into a wrap, I would prefer to do it however, with an effective design that is conducive to installing vinyl that allows for stretching and bending so that images can line up easily and go around curves without losing the integrity of the image. Ultimately, you want to have a message that is readable because you only have a few seconds to make an impression in some cases. The top photo above illustrates a great truck wrap design for State Farm. Attractive and easy to read and easy to install.
