THE VEHICLE WRAP PROCESS AT WRAP ‘n TAG
QUOTATION
You’ll begin to request a quote by filling in our online contact form. In order to ensure a prompt quote, be sure to provide as much information as possible. We require information regarding your vehicle such as make, model, year, and color.. We also need to know whether you prefer a partial wrap or complete wrap. Our team will be able to work with you to reach a product and price point that you are happy with.
In some cases, before an accurate quote can be reached, we may send a member of our team to physically measure your vehicle, trailer, RV, boat, or motorcycle. Prompt arrangements will be made if this free measurement/consultation session is a necessity.
DESIGN
Once we receive your deposit, we will start the process of design. We’ll collect information from you and may stop by to take photos of your vehicle to be wrapped that will provide us with unique aesthetic details. Be prepared to send your ideas and any high resolution images of your existing branding that you would like to include. A concept will then be created by our design team and a proof will be sent to you in PDF or JPEG format. Please note that some of our designs are too large to send and will need to be optimized into a lower resolution file in order to proof via email. Please be ensured that your printed wrap will be of the highest resolution possible. After your see your proofs you will have clear idea of how your finished wrap will turn out. At this point you can let us know if we missed anything or if you would like to see any additional changes. We will revise the design and reproof. Once we receive approval from you, we will move forward with production.
PRODUCTION
Your wrap or large format images will then be prepared for print. The images will be enlarged to the actual size of your vehicle and printed on specialty vinyl. (We’ll wrap you vehicle using 3M Control-Tac Vinyl, a top-of-the-line material that comes with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty. Other projects, such as banners, wall graphics, and window visions, all use different types of vinyl. We will explain to you which vinyl we use and why) We just purchased a brand new, state of the art printer that was built specifically for our large format purposes. We watch the print to ensure quality. Once the printed images are dry, we’ll laminate the images for a glossy, long lasting finish. Next, we are ready to install!
INSTALLATION
The installation process is very important. We’ve hired the most experienced installers in the area to become responsible for applying your graphics. Before we begin, the exterior of your vehicle will be carefully cleaned. We’ll remove any siding or similar decorations to ensure proper fit and functionality. Most often, your wrap will be installed in our garage to ensure that the environmental temperature is within the vinyl manufacture’s specs. A purpose-built sealant recommended by material manufacturers will be applied along the seams and edges. This prevents lifting and is a step that many sub-par installers tend to skip. This extra effort protects the seams from the elements and ensures the longevity of your wrap. Once the graphics have been applied, we will replace any exterior parts that had been removed earlier. Depending on the complexity of your vehicle, installation may require up to three days to complete. And that’s a wrap!
