Vehicle Wraps: Using Templates For Best “Fit”

I attended a luncheon recently and had the privilege of sitting with a wonderful designer who complained that designing vehicle wraps was not for the faint of heart. She mentioned taking meticulous measurements which consumed lots of time. My response was, “Why?” The SignWorks approach for full car wraps is to purchase a vehicle template specific to the customer’s vehicle make, year and model. This allows our design staff to accurately set-up the design parameters for the specific automobile based on its year, make and model. It ensures that the design will be a good “fit” for the specific vehicle because accurate measurements become an integral part of the design process itself.

While a vehicle graphics design can be constructed as a series of decals positioned on the automobile to look like a full vehicle wrap, if the entire automobile is being wrapped, it is best to obtain the specific template. This minimizes design positioning mistakes and ensures a more professional and finished look that is less subject to measurement errors. It saves lots of time, and contributes to a streamlined and efficient design process.
