Ready to advertise your business on the go? Whether you plan on wrapping a whole fleet or just one vehicle, you’ll want to take the time to consider the design of your vehicle wrap. This article will help; let’s dive right in!

Consider The Elements You Want To Incorporate

The first step is to think about what you want to include in your vehicle wrap. For a business, we recommend having at least 2 elements:

• Your logo

• A call-to-action

In addition to those two key elements, you may also want to incorporate an image and your brand colours into your vehicle wrap. 

 

Resist the urge to add too many different elements to your vehicle wrap; vehicle wrap designs should be simple, bold, and easy to read. When you’re passing by a vehicle on the road, you don’t have time to process 20 different graphics. By keeping your design restrained, you can communicate important information about your business more readily to passersby. 

Decide Between Full Wraps, Partial Wraps, And Decals

There are three basic types of vehicle wraps: 

• Full wraps (which cover your entire vehicle)
• Partial wraps (which cover part of your vehicle)
• Decals (which are like large stickers)

 

A full wrap gives you the most space for different graphics and creates a uniform look. A partial wrap is a more cost-effective solution; the wrap can match your vehicle’s paint colour, or contrast it for a more unique look. Decals can be placed on doors and other sections of your vehicle; they usually consist of a logo and a call to action.

 

There’s no one best wrap; it depends on your budget and your design goals. Decals can be just as effective as full wraps depending on your brand, your vehicle, and your designs. 

Think About Colours And Finishes

We’ve mentioned brand colours and contrasting colours already; it’s also worth talking about how the colour of the elements in your wrap will play with the wrap itself. Typically, you’ll want elements that contrast with the wrap; this will help your logos and calls-to-action stand out against the vehicle wrap.

 

Finishes are another important part of any vehicle wrap project. There are several different finishes available: Matte, glossy, metallic, and more. The finish can transform a wrap from sleek and sophisticated to bold and in-your-face—it all depends on what you’re looking for. 

Look At Other Wraps And Watch Vehicle Wrap Tutorials For Inspiration

When designing your own car wrap, it pays to look at other car wraps for inspiration. We have a lot of different wraps that you can check out on our Instagram. 

 

We also highly recommend looking at tutorials. They might take you through programs like Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator, but don’t worry; you don’t actually need to know how to use those programs or how to build an accurate template file. By watching these tutorials, you’ll get a better idea of how designers lay out vehicle wraps, which will help you understand where to put logos, calls-to-action, and images. 

Share Your Ideas With Our Designers!

Now that you’ve got a better idea of how to design a vehicle wrap, you can jot down ideas, and share them with our designers! Our vehicle wrap printers don’t need a full-fledged vehicle template file featuring your custom-designed wrap; ideas on the back of a napkin are absolutely fine.
