Answering the Most Commonly Asked Questions on Vehicle Branding & Signage: Your Ultimate Guide to Understanding the Ins and Outs

How can you define vehicle branding, and what is involved in the process?

Vehicle branding is the process of designing and applying graphics, decals, or wraps to a vehicle with the aim of promoting a brand, product, or service. It involves using a vehicle as a mobile billboard to reach a wide audience and increase brand awareness. This can be done on cars, trucks, buses, or any other vehicle that can be wrapped or have graphics applied to it. Vehicle branding is a cost-effective marketing strategy that can make a brand more visible to potential customers while they are on the move.

What are the recommended methods for removing vehicle graphics, and is it necessary to hire a professional for full vehicle wraps?

Typically, a heat gun can be used to remove the graphics, but you may find some glue residue, especially if the graphics were on your vehicle for a long time. Fortunately, this residue is easy to remove. However, for full vehicle wraps, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a professional to ensure proper removal.

What is the durability of vehicle branding?

When applied correctly and maintained properly, vehicle graphics can last for a long time. To ensure that your vehicle branding stays in good condition, it’s best to avoid washing the vehicle for at least a week after application, and avoid using a pressure washer, which can significantly reduce the lifespan of the graphics. Choosing the appropriate vinyl grade for your specific needs can also impact the longevity of the branding. For more information, please refer to our vehicle branding warranty page.

What is meant by a vehicle or promotional vinyl wrap?

A vehicle or promotional vinyl wrap involves completely covering a vehicle in a material designed for vehicle graphics.

What kind of automobiles is eligible for vinyl wrap application?

What is the time frame for vehicle branding services in Dubai?

The duration of the vehicle branding process is influenced by several factors, such as the type of film being used, the coverage option selected, and the type of vehicle being wrapped. A full-color wrap can take anywhere from three to five days, while an exterior color change wrap may take around five to seven days to complete. The duration also depends on the number of installers working on the project. We provide our clients with an accurate estimate of the time required for the wrapping process before beginning the job.

Which is more cost-effective - car wrapping or painting?

Adding decals to your car is a less expensive alternative, but you can also choose to use inexpensive paint. However, vehicle wrapping in Dubai typically lasts longer than paint. While a high-quality paint job will last for the lifetime of a vehicle, regular paint jobs usually have a lifespan of just a few years. On the other hand, a well-done vehicle wrap can last up to 10 years. Ultimately, the cost-effectiveness of painting versus wrapping your car depends on your budget and the longevity of the final product that you desire.
