Partial and full vehicle wraps — 3M and Avery cast film, laminated and professionally installed
A vehicle wrap is the most cost-effective mobile advertising you can buy. A well-designed wrap on a daily-driven service van or box truck generates tens of thousands of impressions per month for a one-time cost that's a fraction of equivalent billboard or radio spending — and it keeps working every mile you drive, for years.
Overview
We design, print, laminate, and install vehicle wraps in-house from start to finish. That means you don't bounce between a design shop, a print vendor, and an install bay — one team owns the project. We print on 3M and Avery cast wrap films engineered specifically for compound curves, deep recesses, and rivets. Every print gets a matching cast overlaminate for UV, chemical, and scratch protection. Final pricing depends on vehicle size, complexity (curves, doors, body lines, mirrors, handles), design hours, and install time — we quote after a quick measure-up of your specific vehicle.

Popular Uses
Service vans (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, landscaping, cleaning), box trucks and commercial fleet, food trucks and concession trailers, utility trailers, race cars and track-day builds, personal color-change projects, company car branding, ride-share advertising, and specialty vehicles like buses, boats, and construction equipment.
Why Choose Ink Spot Printing
One shop, one accountable team. We do the design, the print, the laminate, the install, and the warranty follow-up. If a corner lifts six months in, you call us — not a print vendor who blames an install shop who blames the film supplier. We use only 3M and Avery cast films because they're the two brands with proven long-term performance and published warranty terms. We don't cut corners with calendered "wrap" vinyl that peels at the edges inside a year.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a vehicle wrap cost?
Pricing depends heavily on vehicle size, coverage, and complexity. As a general range: partial wraps and door decals typically run $500-$1,500; half wraps on a standard van run $1,800-$2,800; full wraps on a sedan or SUV run $3,000-$4,500; full wraps on a cargo van or pickup run $4,000-$6,500; full box trucks run $5,500-$9,000+. Design hours, photo-based graphics, and unusually complex body lines add to the final quote. We give firm written quotes after a quick site visit to measure your specific vehicle.
How long does a vehicle wrap last?
Professionally installed cast wraps typically last 5-7 years before the film reaches end of life. Vertical panels (doors, sides) outlast horizontal panels (hood, roof) which take more UV. Garaged vehicles last longer than daily-driven fleet.
Will a wrap damage my paint?
No, provided the paint is factory-quality and in good condition. Cast wrap films are designed to remove cleanly within their rated life. We do not recommend wrapping vehicles with aftermarket paint under 6 months old (curing), rusted areas, or previously damaged repaints — the wrap may pull paint when removed.
How long does installation take?
Small partial wraps: half a day. Full car: 1-2 days. Full pickup or van: 2-3 days. Box truck: 3-5 days. We typically keep the vehicle overnight for climate control and post-heat cure.
Can I wash my wrapped vehicle?
Yes. Hand wash or touchless automatic washes are preferred — brushed washes can lift edges over time. Avoid high-pressure nozzles within 6" of edges and seams. No wax or polish.
Can a wrap be removed?
Yes. Within its rated life, a professionally installed cast wrap removes cleanly with heat and patience. Expect a few hours of labor per panel. Adhesive residue can be cleaned with citrus-based adhesive remover.
