Let's Start A Conversation:

Vehicle graphics command a lot of attention on the road and act as a great advertising tool for businesses and organizations. Before getting started, you may have some questions about car decals and graphics. Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions:

1. What Are Vehicle Graphics?

Custom vehicle graphics and car decals are thin sheets of vinyl that adhere to surfaces on cars, trucks, trailers, buses, boats and more. Often printed in vibrant colors and showcasing eye-catching graphics, they come in several different types:

Vinyl lettering
Decals of company logos or graphics
Partial wraps covering up to 75 percent of a vehicle’s surface
Full vehicle wraps
Window graphics (for side and rear windows) on perforated vinyl allowing the driver to see out and showcase a custom design to those outside of the vehicle

2. How Long Do Custom Graphics Last?

Vehicle wraps and vinyl graphics not only help protect your car from damage, but they can also last for multiple years. When taken care of properly, graphics and wraps withstand weather conditions and sun exposure.

3. How Do You Apply Custom Car Decals?

The application process for vehicle lettering and graphics is best left to experienced pros. Careful cutting and fitting are required, and the adhesive backing sticks very securely once applied.

In the hands of application specialists, vehicle graphics look great. The vinyl material doesn’t shrink, which allows installers to go over complex curves on cars and trucks with the assurance of excellent adhesion without distortion.

4. How Much Do Vehicle Graphics Cost?

The price depends on a few variables including the square footage of the vehicle, how flat or curvy the vehicle is, material choice and coverage area. You can choose something simple and removable like vehicle magnets, or choose a full vehicle wrap to show off your brand 24/7. Regardless of which type of graphics you choose, our team can help you find the right solution to fit your needs and budget.

5. What Are the Benefits?

Vehicle graphics are an incredibly powerful and remarkably affordable advertising medium — delivering thousands of consumer impressions at a lower cost than alternatives.

Another plus? Unlike a custom-painted graphic, car decals are easily removable when it’s time to take your vehicle out of service. Plus, the vinyl actually protects the vehicle’s original finish so it’s practically as good as new!
