DESIGN
01
Car wrapping is not just like a business card
where printing press is doing the things. It
requires the right tools such as latest vehicle
templates to install a car wrap design that will
look perfect in your vehicle and also eye
catchy. Every angel, spaces, curves must be
taken into consideration and images should not
be distorted or blurred while designing a car
wrap.

MATERIAL
02

• The combination of vinyl over laminate is
  extremely important. Many shops use 3D Cast
  vinyl wrap over a cheaper laminate to reduce the
  cost. The material you choose will determine the
  longevity and quality of the wrap. Cast laminate
  and Calendared laminate are two popular types of
  laminate used for vehicle wrapping.

PRODUCTION
03
Printing customized image on the vinyl is not as
simple as Hp or Brother printer. There are a lot
more tools needed in order to deliver a car wrap
with sharp and vibrant images. Each
manufactures design has its own unique code
specifically created for a particular vinyl. You
can't do it on your own unless you hire a
printing company.

PREPARATION
04
This is the most time-consuming part of car
wrapping. In this step, the installer has to
inspect the surface of your car for cracks,
trims, and dents. The car must be washed before
the installation process. For this, a special
solution is used first to wipe the car from any
wax residue and after that alcohol is used to
make sure that the solution has been removed.
This is done to ensure that the vinyl adhesive
will stick to the vehicle's surface.

INSTALLATION
05
Now that you have come a long way and have the
best materials, design and perfectly prepared
vehicle for the installation, all your efforts
can go in vain if an inexperienced installer
wraps the vehicle. The actual installation of
the wrap is a challenging and crucial task. An
installer must be able to trim and tuck the wrap
to achieve a flawless finish otherwise, the
final outcome may look terrible. Only an expert
can do this job well.

POST INSTALLATION
06
The post-installation process involves using a
heath-gun to go over the wrapped areas on curved
edges to make sure that these reach a certain
temperature as required. They need to reach 45
to 50 Celsius for solid color wraps, while for
print media, it must be 85 to 90 Celsius.
8
FACILITY
07

• To move ahead with, there is a question where
  will the actual installation take place? Indoor
  or outdoor? There is no way to avoid large and
  small dust particles away from the surface of
  your car if it is being installed outdoor. If
  wrapping is done indoors then the indoor
  facility must be super clean and at the right
  temperature.
