A wrap is a large vinyl decal. It is applied directly over the original paint. It actually protects your paint from fading or chipping in the long run. Wrapping is an alternative to paint which is more cost effective, but will provide more detail and impact that paint cannot come close to.
WHAT'S INVOLVED IN WRAPPING A VEHICLE?
Wrapping a vehicle consists of 3 phases. 1) Conceptual, design, layout and proof phase. 2) Production phase 3) Installation phase
PHASE 1 - Conceptual, design, layout and proofs
The design phase is the most critical part of the process. Finelines Graphics has over 20 years in the design field and has loads of ideas for you. We work with you every step of the way to ensure you get exactly what you want.
PHASE 2 - Production
Finelines Graphics quality control policy maintains the highest standards compared to most places. We take the time to make sure your colors are perfectly matched and use only the BEST wrap materials on the market. From printed vinyl to lamination to contour cutting we pride ourselves on "perfect prints" everytime.
PHASE 3 - Installation
There are no better installers around than here at Finelines Graphics. We are wrap experts with over 20 years of experience. You can trust that all of your installations will be done with QUALITY in mind. We have educated ourselves in every aspect there is in wrapping your vehicle. An inexperienced installer may get the graphics installed in record time but will be full of bubbles, creases, torch burn marks and vinyl around the rivet heads not properly put down. There is no need to fear at Finelines Graphics. You can trust us!
The best part is that all 3 phases are all done IN-HOUSE! From design to installation you know that Finelines Graphics will be working for you. The advantage of IN-HOUSE means we oversee the quality and color of our prints through the whole process as opposed to getting what a production house gives you with no regard to you or our prints "just getting them done". This is very important to remember when getting a vehicle wrap. In our years of wrapping we have seen a lot of poor quality out there and have re-wrapped for customers that had unfortunate experiences with inexperienced vehicle wrap shops.
WILL YOU WRAP AT OUR LOCATION?
Yes. We prefer our location however we will work out special arrangements to install elsewhere.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKE?
In most cases after approval of artwork usually 7 days. We offer rush service in case you need it complete sooner.
WHAT IS THE STANDARD LIFE OF A WRAP?
Usually 3 to 5 years exterior and 1-3 years exterior on window film. Finelines Graphics Wraps are of the highest quality and have provisions designed for outdoor use, such as the utilization of inks and laminates with UV properties, to help prevent fading and cracking over time. The durability of these materials can range from 1 to 5 years depending upon the climate and your care of the Wrap. We will give you complete instructions and guidelines after your wrap is complete to make sure your wrap lasts a very long time.
HOW MUCH DOES A WRAP COST?
Information from you is key to an accurate estimate. Generally the cost for a partial can run from $500-$3500. A full wrap can run from $3500-$6000. It all depends on design time and square footage.
