We were contacted by Harkey Tile and Stone, located just outside of center city Charlotte. They had just purchased two new trucks and needed to place their name and some other decals onto these trucks. They had dealt with another company in the past and had issues with the laminate coming off and the other company would not fix the issue. Issues with laminate are uncommon, but they can happen, so when something does happen, you really need someone who is going to stand behind their work
.
In the image on the left, you can see a picture of the hood of one of the trucks that we added decals to. This was a white truck and the darker colors on the logo really stand out nicely. Along with the name on the sides, back and hood, we added some other decals to the sides of the truck, like an Angies list logo. This took the truck from a plain white truck to a very nice work truck for Harkey Tile and Stone to drive to the jobsites with. Harkey Tile and Stone is a third generation company serving the greater Charlotte area. They do great work and always have top of the line customer service. If you live in the Charlotte area, and need some tile work done, consider giving them a call.
To ensure we matched the colors on the logo exactly, we utilized a high end vinyl, printed it on our printer, laminated it with a protective cover and then cut the shape around the edges to get the desired design. We then have to clean the vehicles and remove all the dirt and other materials that may have gotten onto the vehicle. After thoroughly cleaning the vehicle, we are ready to place the decals in place. We measure the placement of the graphics and then tape them in place. We will then double check to ensure everything is straight and is exactly where we want it to sit. We pull back the decals, remove the backing and start laying the vinyl onto the trucks. Once completed, it is checked again for straightness and accuracy before calling the customer and letting them know their vehicle is ready to go.
Do you know how many people will see just one of these trucks on a daily basis, even every hour while driving to and from job sites? A well designed vehicle wrap can generate leads for you business for years to come. Even if you just add your name and a few other decals or other information.
If you are a manager in charge of your fleet graphics and would like more information about partial or full vehicle wraps or if you have questions about any other type of signage, give us a call. We can help! We offer free consultations and estimates, so call or email us today at 704-626-7065 or plima@eaglesignsandgraphics.com
