Vehicle Graphics and Wraps

Is a vehicle wrap better than painting?

Wraps are often more affordable, faster to install, and reversible. They’re ideal for temporary promotions or non-permanent changes, whereas paint is permanent. If you’re unsure, send us a photo and a few details and we’ll tell you what we’d use if it were our own vehicle or premises.

What kind of maintenance does a vehicle wrap require?

Basic care includes: Hand washing with mild detergent Avoiding direct sun when parked for long periods No waxing or abrasive cleaners If you’re unsure, send us a photo and a few details and we’ll tell you what we’d use if it were our own vehicle or premises.

Can a wrap be repaired if damaged?

Yes. If only a section is damaged, that area can often be rewrapped without replacing the entire wrap. Please note that dependent on the length of time the wrap has been on the vehicle, there may be some colour variation due to fading & conditional abrasion. All print files are kept on our server & printed on the same printer so the prints are identical If you’re unsure, send us a photo and a few details and we’ll tell you what we’d use if it were our own vehicle or premises.

Can you manage fleet &/or vehicles located throughout Australia?

Absolutely & it’s a key point of difference between us others. We manage fleet vehicles for many of Australia’s largest companies including Subway, Gliderol, SAGE, Dormakaba & others. All graphics are printed & set up at our facility in Pooraka to ensure 100% brand compliance re layout & colour. They are then shipped to a local installer who we have used prior & with the right credentials to ensure a professional installation on our behalf. We handle all the logistics, we just need a location & style of car then we will handle the rest. If you’re unsure, send us a photo and a few details and we’ll tell you what we’d use if it were our own vehicle or premises.

What is a vehicle wrap?

A vehicle wrap is a large vinyl decal, print or graphic applied directly over the original paint of a vehicle. It can fully or partially cover the vehicle and is used for advertising, branding, or aesthetic customization. If you’re unsure, send us a photo and a few details and we’ll tell you what we’d use if it were our own vehicle or premises.

What is the difference between vehicle graphics, a partial wrap and a full vehicle wrap?

The main difference is the amount of coverage and the job you need the signage to do. We don’t automatically push clients toward the biggest option; a strong partial treatment can often create just as much impact as full coverage. Send us a photo and we’ll recommend what makes sense.

What types of vehicle graphics are available?

Common types include: Full wraps (entire vehicle) Partial wraps (sections like the hood, doors, back, ¼, ½ or ¾ coverage) Cut vinyl lettering/logos Window perforation graphics (see-through vinyl for windows) If you’re unsure, send us a photo and a few details and we’ll tell you what we’d use if it were our own vehicle or premises.

Is a full vehicle wrap worth it for a business vehicle?

It can be, especially for a business vehicle that is seen every day, but a full wrap isn’t automatically the best answer. Sometimes a half or three-quarter wrap delivers the impact for less. We’d rather design to the objective and budget than cover every panel simply because we can.

How long does a vehicle wrap last?

With proper care, our high-quality 3M & Orafol wraps can last 3 to 5 years plus. Lifespan depends on exposure to elements and maintenance. Material choice and care make a real difference, so we’ll recommend the product around the actual use rather than simply the cheapest film.

What makes a good vehicle wrap design for advertising?

Keep it simple enough to read while the vehicle or viewer is moving. The business name, what you do and strong brand recognition matter more than filling every panel with information. Our designers work around the actual vehicle shape and key viewing angles.

Will a wrap damage my vehicle’s paint?

No. In fact, a wrap protects the paint underneath. However, wraps should only be applied to factory-finished paint or professionally refinished surfaces. If you’re unsure, send us a photo and a few details and we’ll tell you what we’d use if it were our own vehicle or premises.

How do you keep fleet vehicle branding consistent across different vehicle models?

We treat fleet branding as a system. Artwork, colour and production are controlled from our Pooraka facility and adapted to each vehicle template so different vehicles still look like one fleet. For interstate vehicles, we can coordinate suitable installers and the logistics.
