Want to know how to create a winning vehicle wrap in North Jersey? Follow these 7 tips for the vehicle wraps of your dreams!
During the past few years, custom vehicle graphics and wraps have been increasing in popularity. As a result of this, many print shops are trying to cash in on this craze by offering vinyl wraps to their clients. However, it is not as easy as just firing up a printing press. There is a lot more that goes into it. Below, we will look at how to create a winning vehicle wrap in North Jersey.
1. Design for a Winning Vehicle Wrap
When designing vehicle graphics and wraps, North Jersey business owners need to realize that every space, curve, and angle of the automobile must be taken into consideration. Designers who do not work with these elements will create a wrap that is hard to understand or read and that is painful to look at. Plus, your company’s image could be tarnished by it.
2. Material
There are several low and high quality vinyl manufacturers in the industry. Oracal, 3M, Arlon, and Avery Dennison are the best at producing car wrap vinyl. These are the only companies we work with. Lately, we have noticed low quality vinyl being used on cars wrapped by other companies in the area. You get what you pay for with vinyl, and it shows with these wraps.
3. Production
The state of the art wide format digital printer is not as simple to use as your home office printer. When printing a vehicle wrap, there is a lot more involved to get a vibrant, sharp image. We work with the specific print profile for each manufacturer’s vinyl to create the perfect wrap.
4. Preparation
The prep process is the most time consuming part of wrapping a vehicle. This is the step where the installation team goes over every millimeter of your vehicle’s surface, including cracks, fenders, and weather trims, to make certain they are completely wax free and clean.
5. Facility
Installing vehicle wraps outdoors is simply out of the question. There is just no way to keep small or large dust particles from getting between the surface of your car and the wrap. This will be readily apparent as even the smallest dust particles show through the wrap. A dust controlled indoor facility is a must.
6. Installation
To learn the proper way to install a wrap, it takes a lot of wasted money and material and countless hours before one can become an expert. And, each type of vinyl has different installation characteristics. Plus, the final trimming is even more of a challenge than the actual installation.
7. Post Installation
New installers often overlook this step. The installer must go over all of the areas that are curved or recessed with a heat gun. A digital thermometer is also needed to make sure the wrap reaches the temperature specified by the manufacturer. This creates a perfect fit.
