Top 5 Things You Should Know Before You Get A Car Wrap

When looking for a good car wrap company, make sure you are doing your research. If you are calling around and asking for pricing, be wary of the company who is doing vehicle wraps for less than everyone else. Many times, these companies are using less durable, and lower end economy vinyl for jobs that require high-end Avery or 3M.

When working with our designers, it is best practice to offer a hi-resolution image of your logo. Acceptable formats are any files that end in an extension of AI, EPS, PDF, or SVG. These logos should be in a vector format, you can learn more about vector vs. raster images here. Do not worry if you do not have a logo design, our skilled graphic designer have over 35 years of combined experience to design your wrap to the way you want it!

After your design is approved for production, it is full steam ahead to get your vinyl ready for installation. Sign parrot has a wide variety of equipment to execute any vinyl wrap job quickly! We use a high-end printable vinyl for all of our printed car wraps which are made out of a cast material. Cast Vinyl contours around any curve that is going to be on your car.
