Van wraps are vinyl graphic coatings which cover your van like a wrap. These wraps are an amazingly economical and innovative way of marketing your product. But to get the most out of them, you must know the basics well. If you attempt to cover your van with wraps without the basic knowledge of the whole process, you might end up wasting time and resources. You must bear in mind that a number of factors are involved in designing the most suitable wraps.
A good designing software is a must for creating great van wraps. Such a software takes into account the various aspects of the vehicle to come up with the best possible design. It fits the images and content on the design in an optimally visible manner. It helps you visualize and decide the best way to juxtapose the content with the images. This plays an important role in highlighting the best features of the product being advertised. Also, it helps in 'driving' home the message of the business effectively!
Another important factor is the dimension of the van. While designing van wraps, make sure that you take appropriate measurements of the vehicle. This is significant because depending on the size of your van, the size of the vinyl sheets will vary. This in turn will alter the size and type of printer needed to put the graphics on the vinyl. So, once you have these measurements, you can select the most suitable printer.
The next step in getting good van wraps is to ensure durability. Post printing, the vinyl graphic sheet needs to be protected from various elements such as heat, cold and rain in order to make it long lasting. For this, firstly the ink used for printing has to be weather proof. However, to doubly make sure that the ink won't fade in the heat or run away in the rain, you need to laminate it. Also, this will make sure that these wraps are scratch-proof.
Once the van wraps are ready, they need to be fitted on to your vehicle. This too is an important factor. You might want to fit the wraps in such a way so as to display the images on the windows, or the doors, or whichever part of the van you feel is most suitable. The placement should be perfect in order to maximize the benefits of the wraps.
