Mike Delpha, the Advertising Sales Manager contacted us to have the 98q van wrapped. They wanted their silver Volkswagen Routan entirely wrapped in Orange with performers decals and their 98Q Logo. To wrap the van from silver to orange, we used 3M wrap vinyl material. The work we perform relating to Car decals/Vehicle Graphics depends upon whether the logo or graphic needs several colors or just one. If only one color is involved, we use the vinyl cutter/plotter. It’s a simple process to do. We just print the logo/graphics on the vinyl cutter and weed the excess vinyl off. If the logo/graphics needed are multi colors, we use the printer. Our colors are from the x-Rite Color Management System. The 98Q had several graphics and designs all over their vehicles. To avoid wind, dust, bugs and even snow, we put the kicks van in our climate-controlled garage.
Using the vehicle template, we do the most difficult part first. The sides are the most difficult, since you have the doors, molding and the gas cap to work with. That’s why it’s important to have the template. The template will give you the measurements between the doors, the molding, and the gas cap, and also the pin striping. Mistakes can easily be made, but must be avoided. Since the car decals/vehicle graphics uses multiple colors, we use our 61 inch printer. We print the car decals/vehicle graphics logo/graphics on specialize vehicle wrap material. Before installing you need to laminate first to protect the ink from harsh weather and the abusive brushes that are used in the automatic car washes. Double check your location and you’re ready to install. To install, we use special magnets to keep the vinyl material in place so we can line up the panels together. We then peel back the backing paper and then apply the special wrap material using the mighty felt cover squeegee, specifically designed for vehicle wraps. It can take several hours depending upon the design, texture and size of the vehicle. For more information go to Vehicle Advertising.
