about vehicle branding, wrapping and graphics
Vehicle branding is the most cost effective advertising that money can buy. It ensures that your brand is constantly on show… working all day every day increasing brand awareness and generating sales even on your day off. At Spectrum Signs, our team of highly skilled graphic designers and experienced fitters work on vehicle graphics that are striking, elegant, formal or flamboyant… whatever is a good fit for your business model. Read on to see which option fits YOUR business and budget.
Full Printed Vinyl Wrap:
An additional and often overlooked benefit of full vehicle vinyl wrapping is that the wrap fully preserves the original paint underneath. When it’s time to upgrade the vehicle and the vinyl is stripped off, the paintwork will be the same as the day the vinyl wrap was applied. This ensures that you get the best possible price when it come to either selling or trading in and this can be of particular benefit to fleet owners or those who have lease or PCP arrangements.
Half Vinyl Wraps: As the name suggests, we design vinyl van wraps that cover half of a vehicle whether it is the top, bottom, front or back half. This option is suitable if a full vinyl advertising wrap isn’t necessary, but it’s also an ideal compromise if your budget won’t stretch to a full wrap because the results can be equally as striking. It’s also the ideal solution for clients with older vehicles that intend to upgrade, but most often, clients choose this option because it is the best option, when it is simply the best solution for their requirements. Typically, the unwrapped portion of the vehicle will have vinyl applied graphics for additional information and contact details.
Partial Vinyl Wraps: This option frequently involves wrapping the long body indentation that features on most larger vans, or it could be where the back doors are wrapped, and sometimes it may be the side doors or bonnet. The wrap is often supported with additional vinyl applied graphics elsewhere on the body. It’s a good solution where a there is a need to display product imagery or just to add a splash of colour. Also, partial vinyl van wrapping is suitable for business types theat require a more ‘subdued’ type of advertising.
Vinyl Applied Graphics: Elegant, tactile, clean and sophisticated are some of the words used by clients describing their needs for a vinyl applied vehicle graphics job. This is very frequently the preferred choice for clients who need a more formal approach. We design graphics that are clean and appealing and the results are outstanding when well designed. Company colours can be used in a versatile way throughout the design. This is the cheapest option available to our customers because it doesn’t require any printing or lamination as stock colours are used for this technique. There are many colour options and combinations to choose from. Being the cheapest option also makes it the only option for clients managing tight budgets, but regardless of cost, our designs will always deliver.
Design and Application of your Vehicle Graphics: Regardless of which option you decide on, one of our graphic design team will be assigned to your job, taking ownership and responsibility for it from beginning to end. Each member of our graphic design team are long serving with Spectrum Signs sharing a combined experience of 45 years in the vehicle graphics and signage industry! Clients are always kept involved and informed until the final design is entirely to their satisfaction. Advice and guidance from our experienced team is always on hand throughout the design phase of every project. Once your artwork is approved it is then sent to print. Our wide format printers are the latest and best in the industry ensuring excellent print quality, colour vibrancy and very sharp images. While your job is being printed and laminated, your van is being prepared by our team of expert fitters, cleaning, preparing and stripping body trim. At Spectrum Signs we remove all body trim so that the vinyl will be under the trim rather than applied just against it.
