What is vehicle wrapping?

Vehicle wrapping is the process of applying premium vinyl films to cars, vans, or fleets to change their appearance, showcase branding, or add protective layers. A wrap can cover the full vehicle or selected panels for a bold, professional finish.

How long does a vehicle wrap last?

A professionally installed vehicle wrap typically lasts 5–7 years, depending on usage, maintenance and exposure to the elements. We only use premium materials from Avery Dennison, 3M and Arlon, ensuring maximum durability and colour vibrancy.

Can vehicle wraps damage paintwork?

No. In fact, vinyl wraps protect your vehicle’s paintwork from UV rays, stone chips, and light abrasions. When removed correctly, a wrap leaves the original paintwork intact and in excellent condition.

Do you wrap both cars and vans?

Yes. We wrap everything from private cars to full commercial fleets. Whether it’s a one-off project or hundreds of vehicles nationwide, our team ensures a consistent, high-quality finish every time.

What’s the difference between a full wrap, a partial wrap and spot branding?

A full wrap covers the entire vehicle for maximum impact. A partial wrap covers specific panels—such as doors or bonnets—while blending seamlessly with the original paintwork. Spot branding adds logos, contact details or key visuals to selected areas for a cost-effective and professional look.

How much does a vehicle wrap cost?

How long does it take to wrap a vehicle?

On average, a full vehicle wrap takes 2–3 days, including preparation and finishing. Spot branding or partial wraps can be completed more quickly. We balance speed with precision to deliver a flawless finish.

Do you design the artwork for wraps?

Can a wrap be removed?

Yes. Vinyl wraps can be safely removed without damaging the paintwork underneath. This makes them ideal for leased vehicles, brand updates, or temporary campaigns.

Can I wrap a leased vehicle?

Yes. Vehicle wrapping is an ideal solution for leased cars and vans because the wrap protects the paintwork and can be fully removed at the end of the lease without leaving damage.

Do you only wrap new vehicles?

No. We can wrap both new and used vehicles, provided the paintwork is in good condition. Our team will assess the surface before application to guarantee a flawless finish.

What happens if my wrap gets damaged?

Small sections of a wrap can be repaired or replaced without re-wrapping the whole vehicle. We keep your artwork and templates on file, making it easy to produce matching replacements.

Do wraps affect insurance?

Vehicle wraps usually don’t affect your insurance premiums, but you should always inform your insurer of any graphics applied to your car or van.

Can I put my vehicle through a car wash with a wrap?

Hand washing is always recommended, but most vinyl wraps can withstand gentle automated washes. Avoid harsh brushes and high-pressure jets to maximise lifespan.

What’s the difference between vinyl wrap and paint?

Paint is permanent, while vinyl wraps offer flexibility, quicker turnaround, and reversibility. Wraps also give more creative freedom, with finishes like matte, gloss, metallic, or custom prints.
