What types of vehicle wrapping should I get?

 Vehicle wrapping is a tried and tested method of advertising that continues to reap great results. You wrap your business’s advertisement on a vehicle (yours or outsourced) and let it work its magic. Apart from that, they serve a wonderfully decorative function as well. However, vehicle wraps can be tricky - you mess up their application and they will end up looking really bad. The best way to go about it is to google search “vehicle wraps around me” and find experts who know how to do their job. 

What are vehicle wraps?

Vehicle wraps are lustrous thin films made from a blend of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) polymer. The blend also consists of other additives that make the final product flexible, resistant to ultraviolet light and add colour. The process of manufacturing the wraps is very simple - the ingredients are mixed, cast onto sheets, baked and cured.

Different types of vehicle wraps:

Vehicle wraps can be customised as per your needs and preferences. They are broadly classified into four major types:

●    Clear vehicle wrapping

Clear vehicle wrapping, as the name goes, is a transparent vinyl film. It is mainly used to protect a car’s paintwork without covering up its original colour.

●    Coloured wraps

Coloured wraps are used to change a car’s colour. They are opaque and can be used selectively to change the colour of specific parts of a vehicle.

   

●    Textured car wrap

A textured car wrap is customised to add a specific texture to the car along with colour. They are available in transparent and coloured versions, depending on the needs of the user. There are three main types of textured car wrapping:

➔  Glossy wrapping

Glossy wraps can easily amp up the look of your vehicle. They come in a smooth, lustrous finish that enhances the vehicle’s original body and sheen. Glossy vehicle wraps come in a wide range of colours in case you want to completely give your car a new look. They can also be customised to add metallic flakes and can make your car even more stylish.

➔  Matte car wrapping

Contrary to glossy wraps, matte vehicle wraps give a classy, lusterless finish to your vehicle’s body. They do not reflect light and give your car a unique touch and a more textured surface. Matte finishes are preferred since they are not too reflective. 

 

 

➔  Satin vehicle wraps

Satin vehicle wraps are glossier than matte wraps but not as lustrous as glossy wrapping. They might not create any reflection but will reflect some amount of light. Satin wraps can give your car a very sharp and professional look. 

●    Brushed vehicle wrap

Brushed vehicle wraps give your car a textured paint stroke look. Its metallic finish further gives your car a classy new look.

Conclusion

There are many types of vehicle wraps available that can amp your car’s look and keep it as good as new. They can be used for advertising as well. What vehicle wrap you pick will depend on your preferences for your car’s colour and texture.
