Questions by topic

Pricing

What does a full vehicle wrap cost?

For a typical vehicle, full wraps start at $1,810 for a car or crossover, $2,390 for a pickup and $3,930 for a cargo van. Box trucks vary too much for a set starting price, so they are quoted on request. Your final price depends on the exact model, the film and the design.

How is the price of a wrap worked out?

Wraps are priced by the square footage of film needed to cover your vehicle. Standard cast film (3M IJ175) is $8.25 per square foot and premium cast film (3M IJ280) is $12.50 per square foot. Coverage level and design make up the rest.

How much less do partial wraps and spot graphics cost?

A partial wrap covering about half the vehicle starts at $900 for a car, $1,200 for a pickup and $1,970 for a cargo van. Spot graphics covering about a quarter start at $450, $600 and $980 for the same vehicles.

Do you discount fleet orders?

Yes, based on the number of vehicles: 3% off for 2–4, 7% for 5–9, 10% for 10–24 and 12% for 25 or more.

How do I get an exact quote?

Send us the year, make and model, the coverage you want and your logo if you have one. You will have a written quote within 24 hours, and you see a free design mockup before paying anything.

Design

Will I see the design before I pay?

Yes. Every project starts with a free mockup of the design on your vehicle. You review it, ask for changes and approve it before anything is printed or paid for.

What does wrap design cost?

If you supply a print-ready file, there is no design fee. Otherwise you choose a design package: Basic at $299, Standard at $499 or Premium at $699.

Can you create a logo for my business too?

Yes. Logo and brand identity design is one of our services, and a new logo can go straight into your wrap mockup so the two are planned together.

Timeline

How long does it take from approval to a finished wrap?

Your wrap is ready 3–5 business days after you approve the mockup.

How long do you keep the vehicle?

Most installs take one day. You drop the vehicle off at our shop at 1337 E Industrial Dr, Itasca, IL 60143, and we agree on a drop-off date that works around your schedule.

Durability & Care

How long will my wrap last?

Typical film life is 5–7 years for the premium cast films we use from 3M and Avery. Sun exposure, where the vehicle is parked and how it is washed all affect where in that range a wrap ends up. Installs carry a 5-year workmanship warranty.

How should I wash a wrapped vehicle?

Hand wash with mild soap, rinse off road salt promptly in winter and clean fuel, tar or bird droppings off quickly. Avoid automatic brush car washes and keep pressure-washer spray away from the film edges.

Does a wrap protect the paint underneath?

On the panels it covers, the film shields factory paint from sun and minor scuffs. That is one reason wraps are popular on leased vehicles and on vehicles that will be sold later.

Removal

Do you remove old wraps?

Yes. Wrap removal starts at $800. We confirm the price after seeing the vehicle, and removal can be booked on its own or before a new wrap.

Will removing a wrap damage my paint?

Cast film is made to come off cleanly from factory paint in good condition. Repainted panels, or paint that was already chipped or failing before the wrap went on, carry more risk, so we look at the vehicle before quoting a removal.
