Six Important Aspects of Successful Vehicle Wrapping – Part 2

As discussed in our previous blog titled Six Important Aspects of Successful Vehicle Wrapping – Part 1, design, material and production play a major role in the effectiveness of your vehicle wrap. For the purpose of this blog, we will discuss the following:

Preparation – The preparation process is considered to be the most consuming part of the vehicle wrapping process. Some of the steps to follow include: washing your car the day before and wiping it with a special solution that gets rid of all the wax residues.

Installation – Learning the process of vehicle wrapping installation takes hours and hours of practicing in order to become experienced at it. And although you might end up with the most perfectly installed wrap, you might find that the excess material is not trimmed or tucked properly which will affect the final outcome of your design, look and feel.

Post Installation – Once the installation is completed, using a heat gun, your installer must ensure that every inch of your vehicle wrap reaches a certain degree of heat as set by the manufacturer. Doing so will eliminate the risk of the vinyl shrinking or pulling back.

Our team is here to help you turn your vehicle or entire fleet into mobile billboards, “making your business the center of attention.” Regardless, if you are considering a full or partial vehicle wrap, give us a call today at 714-204-0180 or click here to email us to learn more about the effectiveness of car wrapping in helping to grow your business.
