What exactly is a vehicle wrap?

A vehicle wrap is a durable, vinyl, adhesive-backed graphic that is applied directly to the painted surface of the vehicle. The customers can decide how much of their vehicle they want covered in the wrap, as they can come in any size, shape or design. A wrap can be used in different ways. It can serve as a mobile advertisement for a company, service or product and promote a brand. It can also be used to change the appearance of a vehicle as a lower cost alternative to a custom paint-job.

  • The wrap process begins by creating a concept design. In order to do this, we first need to know the type of vehicle the graphic is for, and what kind of graphic you need. Second, we need your logo, image, text and idea and previous marketing materials if available. There is also an artwork setup fee if you do not provide your own artwork if you elect ot not comence with a project. We will incorporate your current company look with your new ideas and our staff's expertise. If you don't have any logos, we know you have ideas, and we would love to help you design something for your business.

    At WickedWraps, we strongly believe that your company image and branding is what will inevitably distinguish you from your competition. After the concept design stage of the process, you will see a basic idea of what your graphic would look like on your vehicle.
