    How much does a vehicle wrap cost?

    How much is a full vehicle wrap cost or a partial wrap cost?

    Price depends on a number of factors from size of vehicle, wrap design and installation time, our pricing calculator shows you how price changes with size of vehicle and increases with the amount of vinyl coverage.

    Is Vehicle Signwriting Worth the Investment?

    For any business, large or small that has company vehicles and are likely to share the same roads with their target customers then signwriting is a very worthwhile marketing activity. For more information on vehicle signwriting marketing, cost per impressions and return on investment see our more recent blog post.

    How long does a Van Wrap take to Install?

    The time it takes to signwrite your vehicle depends on the size of vehicle and whether the design is for a partial van wrap or full van wrap. Most signwriting jobs with a two man team will be done in a day, however large to full wraps are 2-3 day jobs depending on vehicle size. It takes a long time to clean your vehicle properly and take off all the items that need removing to be able to fully wrap your vehicle. During the sales process and when booking in with our Installation team we will be able to advise how long we expect to need your vehicle for.

    Can I take the wrap off when I need to sell the car?

    All of our vehicle wraps are removable – this is a benefit of getting the vehicle wrapped. It also offers some protection against damage to the paintwork.

    What quality of Vinyl do you use for wrapping vehicles?

    We have been wrapping and sign writing vehicles for over thirty years, and have used pretty much every kind of vinyl there has been on the market. As a standard our default vinyl film will be Metamark the industry leader in vehicle vinyls and in some instances we will use 3M or Avery Dennison. These three manufacturers are regarded as the best vinyl manufacturers in the world today, and they are the most expensive. As a business we would rather explain why we are more expensive than our competitors than have to explain in six months why your vehicle wrap has failed.

    Does the wrap last as long as the vehicle?

    Our preferred vehicle wrapping media is Metamark followed by 3M or Avery Dennison which are widely regarded as the best vehicle wrapping media companies in the world today. The life of any wrap depends on many factors: quality of vinyl; the condition of the vehicle prior to wrapping; how you keep your vehicle clean (what chemicals are used on it) and what part of the world the vehicle is kept (sunlight, salty air). However, even when you take all the above into account, our vehicle wraps should comfortably last between 3-5 years.

    How do I clean the vehicle?

    The best way to clean your car is to wash it by hand, or better still get someone else to wash it for you.

    All our vehicle wraps are laminated if it is a digital print, and if you have a solid colour change, then the material is colour fast. We would not recommend a jet wash or a mechanical car cleaner as the power of the jet wash can lift the edges of the vinyl and on car wash and the brushes can be abrasive to the material.

    Do you guarantee your work?

    All our work comes with an unconditional 12 month guarantee, however, manufacturer's warranty on materials can come with up to 5 years, subject to various terms and conditions.

    Is your company insured?

    We hold Public Liability insurance of £10,000,000. We also hold a motor trade policy which covers our team members when they are driving your vehicle.

    My vehicle has been repaired in the past, is this a problem?

    As long as the vehicle has been repaired properly and the paintwork was keyed in properly and baked on, then this should not be a problem. However, if the repair job was not carried out properly or with regard to the manufacturer's specifications, then this may cause a problem with adherence of the vinyl.

    Do you wrap the door shuts?

    In a word – no, all our wraps are kerbside wraps which means when the vehicle is viewed driving along the road or parked up, the vehicle is a different colour than the original colour. We do not advocate wrapping inside of the door shuts.
