Design is the very foundation of every successful wrap. It is the process through which we drive our clients’ brands further and ensure that their message resonates with their target audience. At Wraps Direct, our creative consultation plays a crucial role in the design process as it helps us understand your industry, company values, and the message you wish to convey to your customers. By identifying your goals and aspirations during this consultation, we establish a solid foundation for the design of your wrap project.
Our design process begins immediately after our initial conversation, as we take a comprehensive look at the vehicle you intend to wrap. We meticulously analyze every aspect of the vehicle, considering factors that may influence the final look and impact of the wrap. This attention to detail allows us to create a final product that not only turns heads in traffic but also effectively represents your brand and captures the essence of your business. While the consultation is continuous throughout the process, we waste no time in initiating the design phase right after our initial conversation.
Designing a vehicle wrap requires specialized skills and knowledge that go above and beyond traditional graphic design. Our designers possess over three decades of experience in the field, equipping them with the expertise to create wraps that account for the unique challenges posed by the three-dimensional nature of vehicles. We understand the importance of ensuring that graphics align seamlessly on a wrap, considering the contours and curves of the vehicle to deliver a visually striking and harmonious design.
At Wraps Direct, we take immense pride in producing high-quality, professional results for our customers, along with top-notch customer service. Our professionally trained vehicle wrap designers are well-versed in transforming your brand’s uniqueness into visually captivating graphics. With access to our extensive library of vehicle wrap templates, we can craft a memorable design for your truck, car, van, or trailer. Drawing on decades of experience, our designers utilize the latest graphics design software to create crisp, concise, and modern graphic designs that are ideal for vehicle wraps.
We understand that designing a vehicle wrap requires a different approach than traditional design for other advertising media. Unlike designing a brochure, banner, or business card where you simply add your logo and contact information to a template, creating a wrap design is considerably more complex. It demands a thorough understanding of the vehicle’s three-dimensional structure and meticulous attention to detail to ensure that graphics align seamlessly across the surface of the wrap.
Designing a vehicle wrap is a unique challenge that requires expertise and knowledge of the wrap production and installation process. Our designers possess a deep understanding of how the wrap will install on the vehicle, where the natural seams will be, and where optimal placement for text and images should occur. They consider every angle, space, and curve of the vehicle to design a wrap that is visually appealing, easy to read, and clearly conveys your brand message.
One of the most critical aspects of wrap design is the accurate representation of the design concept. Depending on the complexity of the design and the style of the vehicle, we work closely with you to bring your brand to life. After finalizing the design concept, we create a design approval proof that illustrates how your wrap will look from all sides of the vehicle. This allows you to review and provide feedback or request any necessary changes before we proceed to the printing phase of the project.
Effective communication is paramount in ensuring that your vehicle wrap design aligns with your needs and expectations. Our designers work closely with you to establish a complete understanding of your project’s objectives. We pay meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that image files are high resolution, file types are in the correct format, and the wrap design is appropriately scaled to fit your specific vehicle. Throughout the design process, we encourage our clients to focus on the purpose of the vehicle wrap and prioritize simplicity and clarity to maximize its impact.
Your brand’s image has the power to compel potential clients to choose your products and services. A plain, undistinguished vehicle does little to inspire confidence in your business, whereas a vibrant, full-color wrap demonstrates your commitment to professionalism and sets you apart from the competition. Research has shown that consumers respond differently to vehicles with advertising, making vehicle wraps an effective form of outdoor advertising that can give your brand’s presence a major boost in recognition.
Imagine two home improvement company trucks arriving at a customer’s door. One has a plain exterior with minimal graphics, while the other boasts a vibrant, full-color vehicle graphic showcasing the company logo, contact information, and captivating images of its products and services. The wrapped truck conveys a strong message: the company takes its business seriously, invests in a professional appearance, and demonstrates commitment to its own brand; setting it apart from the competition. Given this factor, vehicle wraps enable both small and medium-sized businesses alike to achieve a similar level of impactful advertising as larger companies, garnering attention from potential clients and projecting a strong brand presence.
While vehicle wraps were once primarily associated with large companies with substantial budgets, they have now become accessible to small and medium-sized businesses. With car wraps and car graphics, these businesses can achieve a professional and eye-catching appearance, allowing them to advertise to their target audience effectively. Wraps Direct understands the unique challenges faced by businesses in different competitive environments and helps tailor wrap designs to stand out amidst competition or reinforce market dominance.
Vehicle wraps have become a popular advertising tool for businesses of all sizes. Transforming vehicles into mobile billboards, wraps provide a cost-effective advertising solution with long-lasting impact. However, designing effective vehicle wraps can be a complex task that requires a high level of skill and expertise. Designers must possess the necessary proficiency before attempting to create or deliver print-ready files.
To ensure a successful wrap design, several key considerations must be taken into account. One crucial aspect is obtaining an accurate template of the client’s vehicle. The use of precise template files is essential to create designs that are to scale and ready for printing. However, not all template files available online are 100% accurate due to slight irregularities in year, make, and model of each vehicle. Therefore, it is important to exercise caution when selecting templates for your wrap design.
Additionally, it is vital to gather detailed information about the vehicle printing company’s specifications and requirements. Each printing company may have different file requirements or printing processes, so thorough research and understanding of these details are crucial for a seamless design process.
Once armed with the technical information, it is time to unleash your creativity and turn your vehicle wrap ideas into reality. With high-resolution images and a vectorized logo at your disposal, you can begin to envision your design. While some business owners prefer incorporating photos into their vehicle wrap designs, it is important to ensure that high-resolution images are obtained or purchased. Additionally, setting a budget for stock photos can help amplify the visual appeal of your design.
Simplicity is often a key factor in effective vehicle wrap design, particularly for business advertising. Given that your vehicle will be traveling at high speeds on the highway, it is essential to create a design that can be read and comprehended within seconds. Clarity and visual impact are paramount to capturing the attention of passersby and potential customers.
To bring your vehicle wrap design to life, the first step is to create a mock-up. Using high-resolution images and vectorized logos, you can quickly sketch out your design. While this mock-up may not be an exact match for the final appearance on the vehicle, it provides a visual representation of how the graphics will align with corners and rounded surfaces. Mock-ups are useful for gaining an overall approval for the final design and visualizing how the wrap design will look in real life.
The final step involves reviewing the design with the client and making any necessary adjustments or refinements. This iterative process allows for open communication and collaboration, ensuring that the final design meets the client’s expectations. Once the design is approved, the files are sent to the printing company for production.
With the design finalized and the wrap printed, it is time for the installation process. Wraps Direct ensures that their experienced installers carefully apply the vehicle wrap, paying close attention to details such as alignment, trimming, and heating to ensure a flawless finish. Proper installation is crucial to ensure longevity and durability of the wrap.
It is important to note that regular maintenance is essential to preserve the quality and lifespan of the wrap. Routine cleaning with mild soap and water, avoiding abrasive materials or high-pressure washers, can help extend the life of the wrap and maintain its vibrant appearance.
Vehicle wraps offer a unique and powerful way to transform your brand into a mobile advertisement that can capture the attention of potential customers wherever you go.

We require 72 hours notice prior to your scheduled installation date to avoid a cancellation fee of $250.
We ask that any vehicles being dropped off are washed within 24-48 hours prior to drop off. This ensures our ability to complete your job in a timely manner. Any vehicle that arrives in a condition that we deem should be cleaned will have a cleaning fee assessed ($85/hour). Drop-off dates are discussed during scheduling and we ask that you do your best to arrive on the discussed date.
On average, the design process can take 7-14 business days. Once the design is completed, production will begin and can take up to 48 hours to fulfill the order. After production is complete, your wrap will be scheduled for installation which can take 3-5 days to complete (on average). The entire process can vary depending on the exact type of wrap product being purchased. For more detailed information on your specific needs, please reach out to your Sales Representative.
All wrap products are created digitally which allows us to reprint and install any section of the graphics that may be damaged on your vehicle. We save all client artwork in the event that it ever needs to be reprinted. Oftentimes this is even covered by your insurance should you get into an accident. Please reach out to your insurance provider to learn more on coverage.
If all manufacturer procedures are followed, the answer is no. The paint under the wrap is protected from the harsh UV rays of the sun, exposure to the elements, and minor scratches. Think of it as driving around with the world’s tightest car cover. Rest assured knowing that with Wraps Direct, we will only select the best-of-the-best installation professionals that are certified by the product manufacturers that we use to ensure best practices and complete customer satisfaction 100% of the time.
Yes. We recommend that you bring your vehicle to us or a wrap shop that is knowledgeable about the wrap removal process. Removing a wrap requires a large amount of heat and various tools, such as torches and heat guns. To avoid damage to your vehicle and injury to yourself, it is recommended that you pay a professional to remove the wrap.
Generally, a wrap will last 5 years depending on the care of the vehicle and environments that it is exposed to. We use industry standard known and trusted films and laminate; the manufacturer of the material estimates the durability of the wrap to last 5 years on vertical surfaces. We recommend that you re-wrap your vehicle in 3 years to allow the wrap to be removed with ease. Washing the vehicle on a regular basis will prolong the life of the wrap. We recommend that vehicle wraps be hand washed as some pressure washers and automatic car wash machines can damage the wrap.
A vehicle wrap provides maximum exposure for your business and brings it to life with eye-catching crystal clear graphics. With a vehicle wrap, the amount of color or creativity you want is never limited. We do provide cut vinyl; however, a vehicle wrap lasts much longer than cut vinyl, and protects your paint from the harsh rays of the sun. Often when you remove cut vinyl the lines from it will still be visible on the vehicle due to fading of the paint. A vehicle wrap is better than paint because it is more cost effective, and can be changed if your company’s details change. It can also be easily removed should you decide to sell your vehicle.
Wraps Direct can wrap cars, trucks, boats, helmets, 18 wheelers, car haulers, race cars, concept cars, tour buses, trailers, cargo vans, box trucks, SUVs, shipping containers, walls, windows, store-fronts, golf carts, vending machines, even buildings! You name it and we can wrap it. If you have something you need wrapped and we have NOT wrapped it before we are thrilled to have the opportunity to pioneer new wrap styles.
Wraps are priced by the square foot. A full wrap on a vehicle can range from $1,000 to $5,000. That’s much less than the cost of having a billboard that you must rent every month or a tv/radio ad that you pay for monthly. You buy a wrap one time and it pays for itself over the span of three years or more. To get an accurate price on your vehicle, click to Request a Quote.
