Q: What is a vehicle wrap?
A: A vehicle wrap is a thin vinyl film that adheres directly
to a vehicle, very much like a sticker. This thin vinyl film
conforms to the shape of the vehicle and is usually digitally
printed with colorful graphics for advertising. When looked
upon from a distance, a neat vehicle wrap gives the appearance
of a quality custom paint job. The advantage is that vehicle
wraps are a lot less expensive than custom jobs and can be removed
very easily without damaging a vehicle surfaces.
Q: Can you see through the windows after the VWrap is applied?
A: Yes. Perforated vinyl films called window perforations
(or “window perfs”) have little holes in them
and allow you to see outside from your car or truck windows.
The window perforations can be applied on your back and rear
windows on the sides.
Q: Can the driver side and passenger
windows be wrapped?
A: No. DOT laws do not allow us to wrap these windows.
Q: Do you wrap the roof?
A: Yes and No. Yes, we can wrap windows on any vehicle. We
wrap roofs for most small vehicles where the roof is visible.
However, when it comes to wrapping big vehicles (SUVs, trucks,
vans, bobtails), most customers decide not to cover the roof
because it does not provide much advertising.
Q: Can unpainted vehicle surfaces like plastic parts and fiberglass
bumpers be wrapped?
A: Unpainted vehicle surfaces can be wrapped however it is
not recommended. Vinyl adhesives do not stick very well to
unpainted surface and so there is always a chance that the
wrap will peel off from these areas.
Q: Can you apply VWraps to vehicles
besides cars?
A: Sure! We can wrap boats, box trucks, SUVS, trailers, vans
and any other imaginable vehicle that moves on earth or above
the sea.
Q: How is a VWrap better than a custom
paint job?
A: A VWrap is better than a paint job in many ways. The biggest
advantages are cost savings, speed of production, removability,
and better book value for your vehicle.
- Vwraps cost a lot less than a custom paint job. Morever,
it is a lot easier and faster to produce complex designs.
A quality wrap can be designed and applied in less than
2 weeks. Sometimes a VWrap can be completed in just a couple
of days.
- VWraps can be removed easily, without damaging the paint
beneath it. Compare against the time and cost of removing
a custom paint job.
- Lastly, VWraps protect the paint from fading. This may
result in an increase value for your vehicle when you are
ready to sell your car or truck.
Q: Can parts of a VWrap be changed to reflect a new phone
number or a new address?
A: Yes. If you happen to move and need to change your phone
number, website address, or any other information on the wrap,
a portion of the VWrap can be reprinted with the new information
and applied to your vehicle.
Q: Does Saifee Signs accept major
credit cards?
A: Yes, we accept all major credit cards and other forms of
payment.
Q: Is it possible to sponsor my car,
truck, van or bus wrap?
A: Many corporations will pay for, or reimburse you for your
VWrap. Businesses today realize the huge saving in mobile
advertising through fleet graphics and they are willing to
be a sponsor. If you are interested in a particular sponsor
and would like Saifee Signs to present the advantages of VWrap
advertising to your sponsor, please contact us by clicking

Q: How do I get started?
A: A typical VWrap involves the following steps
- Fill in the vehicle request form:
We need information about your vehicle and a rough idea
of the design you are looking for. To get an estimate please
fill the price quote form by clicking here. We try our best
to give you a brisk reply.
- Design Creation and Approval:
Once you accept the quote and a down payment has been received,
we create a design for your wrap. If you already have a
vehicle wrap design then this step is eliminated.
After the design is created a proof is submitted and
upon approval the design is sent for digital printing
and laminating.
- Installation Scheduling:
While the wrap is in production, an installation is scheduled
for your vehicle.
- Installation: Finally,
on the day of installation, the VWrap is installed on your
vehicle and you are ready to drive your mobile advertisement
everywhere you go.*
* Please note that it is important to do a good car wash your
vehicle before the installation day so that it is clean from
road grime and dirt. Moreover, your vehicle must not be waxed.
Wax creates adhesion problem and therefore vehicle wraps peel
off when applied to waxed vehicles. Wax must be completely
removed from a vehicle before installation.
Q: Do wraps damage paint?
A: No. Wraps are made by quality manufacturers like 3M and
Oracal. In our experience, wraps are completely harmless to
vehicle paint.
However, if the paint is not in good condition (if it’s
peeling, cracking, fading, oxidizing, etc. / is poorly applied
/ is not a quality automotive paint) then the wrap might not
stick very well and it will not last for very long. In such
cases when the paint is in poor condition, the vinyl peels
off, and it peels the paint beneath it.
Q. Is it possible to get someone to sponsor my vehicle wrap?
A. Many corporations will pay for, or reimburse you for your
VWrap. Businesses today realize the huge saving in mobile
advertising through fleet graphics and they are willing to
be a sponsor. If you are interested in a particular sponsor
and would like Saifee Signs to present the advantages of VWrap
advertising to your sponsor, please contact us by clicking
