BOX TRUCK WRAP OPTIONS IS WHAT WE PROVIDE

When comparing the cost-effectiveness of box truck wraps versus repainting a truck, wrapping is generally the more economical and versatile choice.

Box Truck Wraps:

• Cost: Box truck wraps are typically more affordable than a full repaint, with prices usually ranging from $2,500 to $5,000, depending on the truck’s size and the complexity of the design.

• Durability: Box truck wraps offer a lifespan of 5 to 7 years and can be easily removed or replaced, providing flexibility to update your branding without significant additional costs.

• Flexibility: Vinyl wraps allow for extensive customization and can be applied relatively quickly compared to the time-consuming process of repainting.

Repainting a Truck:

• Cost: A full repaint often costs between $3,000 and $10,000, making it a more expensive option upfront.

• Durability: While a high-quality paint job can last up to 10 years, it is a permanent solution that is harder and more costly to change or remove.

• Flexibility: Repainting provides a long-lasting finish but lacks the easy adaptability and cost-efficiency of box truck wraps.

For most businesses, a box truck wrap offers a cost-effective and flexible solution that allows for easy updates and modifications, making it the preferred choice for both budget and branding needs.

Preparing for a box truck vinyl wrap installation involves several key steps to ensure a successful and high-quality result. Here’s a guide to help you through the process:

Assess and Clean the Truck

• Inspection: Examine the truck for any damage, dents, or rust. Address any issues before proceeding with the box truck wrap installation.

• Cleaning: Thoroughly wash the truck to remove dirt, grease, and grime. Use a degreaser for any stubborn spots.

• Drying: Ensure the truck is completely dry before starting the installation. Moisture can affect the adhesion of the box truck vinyl wrap.

Prepare the Surface

• Surface Smoothness: Ensure the truck’s surface is smooth and free of imperfections. Vinyl wraps adhere better to a clean, smooth surface.

• Wax and Polish Removal: Remove any wax or polish from the truck’s surface, as these can affect the adhesion of the box truck wrap.

Plan and Measure

• Design Layout: Confirm the design and dimensions of the box truck wrap. Ensure that the graphics fit the truck’s dimensions accurately.

• Measurements: Measure the truck’s surface to ensure the box truck vinyl wrap will cover all necessary areas, including side panels, rear doors, and other sections.

Prepare the Vinyl

• Pre-Cut Sections: If using pre-cut sections, organize them according to the truck’s layout. Ensure all pieces are accounted for and match the design.

• Heat Management: Warm the vinyl slightly if it’s too cold, as this can make it more flexible and easier to apply.

Installation Tools and Equipment

• Tools: Gather necessary tools, including a squeegee, utility knife, heat gun, and application fluid (if needed).

• Workspace: Set up a clean, well-lit workspace where you can handle and lay out the box truck vinyl wrap.

Apply the Wrap

• Positioning: Carefully position the box truck wrap on the truck, starting with one section at a time. Align it according to the design layout.

• Adhesion: Use a squeegee to smooth out the vinyl and remove air bubbles. Apply even pressure to ensure a strong bond.

• Trimming: Trim any excess vinyl using a utility knife, ensuring clean edges and a precise fit.

Post-Installation Care

• Curing Time: Allow the box truck wrap to cure and adhere properly. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for curing time.

• Cleaning: Avoid washing the truck with harsh chemicals or high-pressure water for the first few weeks after installation.

By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth and effective installation of your box truck vinyl wrap, resulting in a professional and durable finish. When you choose our services, we handle steps 3 through 6 for you, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free experience.

Choosing the right design for your box truck wrap involves several key considerations. Start by defining your branding goals and target audience. The design should reflect your brand’s identity and be eye-catching enough to stand out on the road. Consider whether you want a full box truck wrap, which covers the entire truck for maximum visibility, or a partial box truck wrap that targets specific areas and can be more budget-friendly.

Graphics options for Box Trucks are very similar to those for Vans & Pickups.  There are four main options for wrapping / decaling a box truck:

Basic Vinyl Graphics

Some customers just want decals on the cab doors. This usually includes company logo, phone numbers, website, and a few bullet points about the company’s products on the vehicles doors.

Whereas, others may want a bit more coverage with graphics on the sides and the rear Rollup Door. This is the traditional and most common option for flat surfaced vehicles. Customers like to put their company information and a few bullet points about the company’s products on the box truck’s sides and the rear roll-up door. The large surface area of the trucks provides a huge billboard opportunity and the cost of advertising is very low because in most cases customers use just one or two colored vinyl lettering, which can easily last up to 7 years.

Intermediate Graphics

This is an affordable option that covers some parts of the sides and the back with decals, lettering and product pictures. In case of partial graphics only 25% to 50% of the vehicle is covered with a combination of vinyl text, pictures and logos. Because only some parts are covered with graphics, the overall cost of the graphics is much lower than a full wrap. Spot graphics, pictures and bulleted text are used to create an appealing theme for the truck. You can also include product shots, imagery, brochure covers and full color logos to get your message across.

When designed effectively, this option yields the same results as a full wrap, for just 40% to 60% of a full wrap price.

Advanced Box Truck Wraps

This is an affordable option that covers parts of the truck's body with graphics. Because the body is only partially covered, the overall cost of the graphics is much lower than a full wrap. Typical coverage and cost of a partial truck wrap is 35% to 70% of a full wrap. The vehicle is covered with a combination of vinyl text, product pictures, logos, striping or a geometrical design to create an appealing theme for the pickup. When designed effectively, this option yields the same results as a full wrap, for just a fraction of a full wrap price.

Full Box Truck Wraps

This option provides complete coverage on the truck's two sides and the back door. Some customers also opt to cover the small flat portion of the box in the front above the cab. These parts of the truck are completely wrapped with full color digital graphics printed on premium 3M Scotch graphics vinyl. Thus the entire vehicle becomes a full color moving billboard.

Full Wrap graphics on box trucks are becoming more and more affordable. With the cost of highway billboards rising and most billboards costing between $3500 and $5000 a month in rent, vehicle graphics are proving an extremely cost effective/ rent-free alternative.

When choosing between a full truck wrap and a partial truck wrap for your box truck, it’s essential to consider your branding needs and budget. A full box truck wrap covers the entire vehicle, transforming it into a moving billboard with maximum visual impact. This approach is ideal for businesses wanting to make a bold, high-visibility statement and protect the vehicle’s original paint, which helps maintain its resale value. Full wraps utilize high-quality 3M vinyl, designed to endure Houston's intense sun and variable climate, ensuring durability and vibrant graphics over time.

In contrast, a partial box truck wrap covers specific areas, such as the sides or rear, making it a more budget-friendly yet professional-looking option. Partial wraps use custom designs that strategically highlight your logo and key information, capturing attention while on the road. Both full and partial truck wraps are powerful tools in vehicle graphics and advertising, helping your brand gain visibility and credibility as a trusted name. Whether you’re outfitting a single truck or an entire fleet with box truck vinyl wraps, you can select the approach that best aligns with your marketing goals, brand message, and budget, ensuring effective fleet advertising that attracts potential customers.
