Why Do Vehicle Graphics Cost So Much?

Vehicle graphics can range in price from a pair of simple vehicle magnets at around $80 to a full vehicle wrap on an large SUV or specialty wrapped exotic which costs much more. The bottom line is that there’s a solution and combination of materials to fit every budget! Every job is custom so it’s impossible to quote a flat rate without knowing the details of the project.

Generally speaking a full wrap on a standard car or truck costs between $2000.00 and $3000.00. Matte black wraps cost a little more and carbon fiber costs a little more than that. Pricing will vary based on three factors – material, design and installation.

• MATERIAL: The size of the vehicle to be wrapped and the amount of material needed will vary. A smart car or mini cooper requires much less material than a full size SUV.

• DESIGN: If you already have a design and just need to have it laid out on the correct vehicle template, then the cost for the design component will be less than if we are creating a design for you from scratch. We can help in either scenario.

• INSTALLATION: The installation time varies based on the type of vehicle, e.g. a square box truck with no rivets is easier and faster to wrap than a high-end exotic like a Ferrari or Lotus with many compound curves. A simple box truck wrap can be done in a day, whereas a full matte black wrap on an exotic car may take several days. Complex designs with overlays may require additional design time which can also impact installation time. Consequently pricing will vary.

Another alternative to a full vehicle wrap is a partial one. Most partial vehicle wraps on standard sized car or truck costs between $750.00 and $1750.00. A pair of well designed vehicle magnets is also a very affordable option. We can work with any budget, so call us today at 510-357-2000 to explore your options.
