Why Vehicle Graphics Pay Off

A company vehicle is advertising space you are already paying for: • Visibility in your service area – exactly where your customers live and work • Professional appearance – especially for trades and service businesses • One-off investment – no running costs like ads or billboards • Recognition – a uniform design across several vehicles builds a clear brand

Types of Vehicle Graphics

Cut vinyl lettering and logos – the most affordable and subtle option for name, phone number and website. Digital print – gradients, photos and complex logos printed on film, usually laminated. Partial wrap – larger areas such as bonnet, doors or rear carry the design. Full wrap – the entire vehicle in your corporate design, which also protects the original paint. See our guide What does car wrapping cost? Magnetic signs – removable signs for vehicles also used privately.

What Determines the Cost?

• Vehicle size and shape • Scope: lettering, partial or full wrap • Digital print or cut vinyl • Film quality – cast films conform better to curves and last longer • Design effort – whether print-ready artwork exists • Number of vehicles For a quote we need the model, year, logo and texts. See our vehicle graphics service.

Which Surfaces May Be Covered?

• Windscreen and front side windows stay clear for the driver's view • Rear and rear side windows may be covered if the vehicle has two exterior mirrors – perforated film is common • Number plates, lights and reflectors must not be covered • No confusion with police, emergency or official vehicles • Reflective films are only permitted to a limited extent – ask us first This is general guidance; we clarify details for special vehicles before production.

Leasing, Durability and Removal

Film graphics can be removed, which suits leased vehicles. Check your lease contract, as some regulate graphics explicitly. Quality films last several years depending on material, care and parking. Removed professionally within the film's lifespan, graphics usually come off without residue. Request vehicle graphics · Contact us
