How exactly does one go about wrapping a car?

If you are interested in having your car wrapped, the following is a condensed explanation of how the process works:

To begin, we require information on the vehicle that you wish to have wrapped. Is it fresh off the lot at the dealership, or have you just upgraded from an older model? If it's an older vehicle, we'll need to visually inspect it to provide guidance about any blemishes or issues that may require attention before the wrap is installed. This will be necessary only if the vehicle is older. You are looking for the best result, and we are working hard to give it to you. There are some problems that cannot be wrapped over because doing so will cause the wrap's functionality and appearance to suffer. Because of this, these problems will need to be fixed before your wrap can be installed.

After determining the type of vehicle and addressing any problems that may have arisen, our talented team of expert graphic designers will collaborate with you to develop a concept of the car wrap design or appearance that you desire, taking into account the colors and finishes that you favor (such as satin, gloss, or matte), among other considerations.

If you own a company and are looking for a job driving a commercial vehicle, you will be required to provide information regarding your branding, such as your company's logo and brand guidelines, which should include the fonts, colors, and images you use, among other things.

After collecting all of the necessary information, the skilled vehicle graphic design team here will provide you with two different design options for car wraps, which it will then be your responsibility to evaluate. Following that, you will be required to assess both options, decide which layout you prefer, and provide us with your feedback, including details on any alterations you require.

Once the design has been finalized, we will be able to implement the custom design of your choice.

We only use the highest quality 3M vinyl for all of the car wrapping jobs that we take on because we are a 3M Platinum Select Provider for 3M Graphics and Window Film. Wraps for vehicles printed in a single color are typically done with the 3M 2080, while wraps printed with custom designs are done on the 3M IJ180MC.

Naturally, if the colors that you need for your car wrap design are not available within the 3M range, we will be happy to secure the colors that you need from other well-known brands if that is possible.

The question is, how much does it cost to wrap a car?

After taking a number of considerations into account, you will be able to arrive at an estimate for the typical cost of wrapping a vehicle.

The price of a partial 3M car wrap can range anywhere from $1,500 to $4,000 in addition to GST. Note, however, that any fees related to the design time and artwork charges are not included in this estimated price for a car vinyl wrap nor in the averages that are provided in the table below.

How much does the cost of wrapping a car in vinyl depend on various factors?

Car wrap jobs can range in price depending on the following factors:

• The kind of vinyl wrap that was used.
• Extent (Is it a simple spot graphics job, a full, closed-door wrap, a three-quarter wrap, or a one-half wrap?) )
• How long will the wrapping of the car take?
• Whether or not there has been any prior preparation.
• Count of panels that have been wrapped
• Quantity of the material that was used
• Car categories and dimensions

Another factor that can have an effect on pricing for commercial customers is the total number of vehicles in their fleet. There is a possibility that you will be offered a fleet discount, and any design fees will only be charged for the initial vehicle in the event that only one design is used for the entirety of the fleet.

Full wrap of the vehicle, categorized by car size

If you are looking for averages or general estimates on how much it costs to wrap a car, we have created some rough estimates for you to look at below:

Small Passenger Car From $2,800 Medium Passenger Car From $3,600 Large Passenger Car From $4,500 Sport-Coupe Vehicle From $3,800 4WD Car From $5,100 Large 4WD From $5,500

It is important to keep in mind that the prices listed above are exclusive of the Goods and Services Tax (which means that an additional 10% of GST will be added once the invoice is finalized). In addition, the prices listed above do not include any costs related to artwork or design or vehicle preparation. The prices listed above also apply to "closed door" wraps, which obscure the color of the underlying vehicle so completely that it cannot be seen even when all of the car's doors are shut. When the doors are open, you can still see the color of the doors as they were when they were first installed inside the door jambs.
