Types of Vehicle Wraps

Offering full and partial wraps, as well as vinyl graphics and lettering to clients in Grand Rapids.

Need to wrap a personal vehicle or an entire fleet? There’s no vehicle wrapping job too big or too small for Express Signs. We offer levels of wrapping and individual auto graphics to suit your budget and design. Read on for more information about our wrapping levels.

Full Vehicle Wraps

If seamless coverage is what you seek, a full vehicle wrap is the best solution. We meticulously measure the vehicle(s) that are to be wrapped prior to the design phase. This allows us to understand the full area or canvas our designers are working with. Once we move your full vehicle wrap into the design phase, you will be provided with a mock-up to give you a clear idea of what the finished design will look like.

If you are really looking to stand out from the crowd, a full vehicle wrap provides you with maximum customization. They also provide the most protection to your vehicle, preventing common roadway damage from occurring due to the heavy-duty vinyl that is utilized.

Partial Vehicle Wraps

Partial vehicle wraps provide 30–70% coverage. More economical than a full vehicle wrap, a partial automobile wrap provides clients with the ability to make an impactful statement or advertise their company on their vehicle. Another perk of a partial vehicle wrap is that it often offers a quicker installation time. 

A partial wrap consists of vinyl applied to specific panels or segments of your vehicle, providing you with an impactful marketing message at an economical price.

Vehicle Graphics

Vehicle graphics are smaller elements, cut from durable vinyl, that are easily applied to automobiles. Examples of vinyl graphics for automobiles include lettering, images, stripes, and logo decals.

Vehicle graphics are extremely customizable! Express Signs also offers perforated window vinyl wrapping, which offers passengers visibility but shows as a brand advertisement to passing motorists. 

Vehicle Customization

Vehicle wraps and graphics aren’t just limited to commercial businesses.

Vehicle wraps can be used beyond traditional business marketing as tools to customize your personal vehicle. The highly-trained staff at Express Signs can assist you in creating design elements that blend in beautifully with your vehicle. Does your muscle car need stripes? Do you own a motor sporting vehicle that you’d like to apply special effects? Our team offers fluorescent vinyl, reflective sheeting, protective finishes, and other specialty vinyl that allows us to customize your personal car.

Express Signs also design vinyl vehicle graphics to personalize ‘street’ cars. Automotive enthusiasts appreciate the versatility and economy of vinyl vehicle graphics.

FAQ: Vehicle Wraps and Vinyl Graphics

Can my vehicle be damaged by a vinyl vehicle wrap?  

Most likely, your vehicle will not be damaged from a vinyl vehicle wrap. It’s optimal to wrap automobiles that are free from paint chips or damage. This allows vinyl wraps to be easily removed. Surfaces also need to be free of dirt, debris and wax prior to installation. This will allow your vehicle wrap or graphic to fully and smoothly adhere to your automobile.

You may not realize it, but roadway wear and tear is actually reduced by automobile wraps. Full vehicle wraps offer the most protection, but the heavy-duty vinyl helps protect surface paint from dings, scratches, and roadway conditions.

What material is a vehicle wrap made from?

Our automobile wraps are cut from high-quality, heavy-duty vinyl. Vinyl offers protection and works well for auto wraps of vehicle graphics. We apply a laminate finish to our vehicle wraps to protect your auto graphics from UV damage. Specific types of vinyl will vary, and those selected are dependent on your design. However, most commercial fleet graphics are made from standard cast and calendared film vinyl. Your budget and the durability needs of the vehicle graphics will also affect what type of vinyl is used.

How long will my vinyl vehicle wrap last?  

On average, vehicle wraps will last 1-5 years, depending on the specific project and level of vinyl wrapping that you choose.

If your project consists of vehicle graphics that need to be changed out on a regular basis—such as fleet vehicle information—vinyl that is easier to remove will be used.

It may be a good idea to consider scheduling regular vehicle graphic maintenance on your corporate car or fleet. Ask a professional for information by calling us at (616) 534-9000.

Am I able to have my specialty vehicle wrapped?  

Express Signs offers custom vehicle wrapping for any automobile, even for trailers, jet skis, boats, and RVs!

During your initial consultation, designers will take measurements and obtain information specific to the automobile that is to be wrapped to ensure a perfect design and fit.

We can wrap other items beyond vehicles as well. If you need custom vinyl graphics for any type of item, just reach out to us for a consultation and advice.

Who installs my vehicle wrap?  

We have specially trained staff technicians that will install your vehicle wrap or graphic. Wrap installation is a specialty process, one that requires an experienced professional. Several factors affect the way the installation of your vehicle is handled. Sometimes, a wrap installation may take longer than a day. Our team will communicate installation time clearly with you.
