SkinzWraps, Inc. is a Dallas business that strongly supports our local police departments and the efforts they make to keep our city safe. That’s why we think it’s amazing when our industry helps out friends in blue when they need a custom wrap for their law enforcement vehicles.

A fleet vehicle wrap for law enforcement isn’t as cut and dry as it may seem to the average consumer. Sometimes an officer needs to blend into their surroundings, or maybe their department has specific colors. No matter the need, there is a wrap to make it happen. Check out some of these essentials that we follow when it comes to wrapping a law enforcement vehicle.

High Contrast Graphics

Most law enforcement vehicles can be seen from quite a distance. This is usually because the wraps used on these vehicles contain graphics that are high in contrast. This means that a vehicle will now convey instant authority and recognition when spotted on the streets. This not only allows pedestrians to quickly spot a police car on the road but also serves as a natural crime deterrent when these vehicles are recognized.

Ghost Graphics

Sometimes a law enforcement vehicle needs to travel in stealth. Ghost Graphics are typically used on law enforcement vehicles to catch speeders and traffic offenders. They present the benefits of an unmarked vehicle, while also meeting all legal visible requirements when up close and personal.

A qualified vehicle wrap technician can install Ghost Graphics on vehicles that required low visibility in public. These types of graphics will have colors that closely match the color of the body of the vehicle.

Weather Resistant Vinyl Wrap

The law is on duty rain or shine, and that’s why the vehicles that officers operate must also be ready for any weather conditions that may arise. That’s why there is an option in our industry for a premium cast vinyl that is durable and weather resistant. With this type of vinyl wrap, not only will your vehicle remain protected, but the quality won’t be sacrificed. Even with weather resistance, your vehicle will still have the essential graphics and required fleet markings on full display at all times.

Spring is a time to wipe off the grime of winter and start the freshness anew. Take your average spring cleaning schedule a step further by giving your vinyl wrap some TLC.

Whether you have a truck wrap, car wrap, or a fleet of vehicles, there are some maintenance tips that we think you should practice this year. Check out our checklist to ensure that your wrap stays in top shape for the sunny seasons.

Clean the Exterior of Your Vehicle

Regardless of the time of year, your ride should always be a clean one from the inside, out. At SkinzWraps, Inc. we know beauty is skin deep, but we love to make the exterior of your vehicle look great with a color-changing wrap.

If it’s time to wash your wrapped vehicle, make sure you’re doing it the right way. The last thing you want is to damage your wrap by washing with the wrong methods.

We suggest hand washing your car with clean water and mild soap. If you have concerns about what types of soaps are easy on your wrap, reach out to an experienced wrap installer with your questions!

When cleaning and maintaining a wrapped vehicle, the softer the act is carried out the better, especially if you have a partial wrap installed on your vehicle. When cleaning your wrap, it’s best to avoid:

• Car washes with automatic brushes
• Power/Pressure washing

Both of these options can damage your wrap and cause premature dulling and fading to the product.

Closely Assess the Condition of Your Wrap

Since the sun has decided to come out, you can now comfortably take the time to really look at your wrap for any potential issues or necessary fixes.

Vehicle Wrap Graphics

If you got your wrap through SkinzWraps, Inc. the chances are you chose us because we are experts at crafting graphics that grab people’s attention. Take a close look at your wrap graphics and check for:

• Scratches
• Lifted Edges
• Faded Designs

Wrap Content

If you’re a business owner that uses vinyl wraps, then you know that your wrap needs to be on its “A-Game” at all times. Be on the lookout for fading or damaged:

• Business Names
• Contact Info

Also, you will want to make sure that all of the information you present is up-to-date. This is especially true if your wrap was created to advertise a specific product or event.

Need a Vinyl Wrap Touch-Up This Spring? SkinzWraps, Inc. Has You Covered!

It may just be time for you to retire your wrap and snag a new look for the season. If so, SKinzWraps, Inc. is ready to give your vehicle the look you want. Get in touch with us to meet the team behind our brand and find out more about designing the wrap of your dreams!

One of the most popular gifts during the holiday season is the gift of mobility. If your loved one has had their eye on that new flashy car, or if you are handing down a vehicle to a new driver, you want it to look great.

At SkinzWraps, Inc. we know a thing or two about how to wrap your vehicle. That’s why we’re here to help you with some basic presentation ideas that you can use when “wrapping” that car for its special moment.

Skip the Card When You Gift Wrap Your Vehicle

Sure, you could give your loved one a simple card that spells out what the gift is, but what’s the fun in that?! If you’re giving a car as a gift go all out. Make signs that lead them out to the driveway where their chariot awaits. From there, you can decorate the inside of their windows with poster boards that let them know this gift is all theirs. Sounds a lot more creative than a Hallmark card, doesn’t it?

Don’t Forget to Decorate the Wheels

Take it from us, the excitement is all about the presentation. This means that you don’t want to miss a single opportunity to decorate. Pay attention to the wheels. We suggest attaching pre-decorated paper plates to the rims that have the potential to add a personal touch. On these plates, you could attach pictures of your family, places you’ve gone on road trips, or even the gift message itself.

Add Some Vibrant Finishing Touches

We’ve all seen the classic “car or truck as a present” commercial. Forgetting the big, red bow on the hood of the vehicle would be a crime. Make sure to pay attention to this finishing touch as well as the potential to attach streamers to the car or personalized license plates that spell out your loved one’s personality. These details are your chance to really show them that you put some thought into this once-in-a-lifetime gift.

Get the Vehicle Wrapped for Presentation

Sometimes you know that your loved one wants a specific design or you may be gifting a car that could use a little work. One affordable way to spruce up a vehicle’s appeal is by getting a vinyl wrap application. This will give the car a brand new and/or personalized look that is sure to get any gift recipient excited.

The best part is, a vinyl wrap is not as pricey as a paint job and can be changed out if need be! Talking to a professional can help you determine whether or not the vehicle is the perfect candidate for a wrap.

SkinzWraps, Inc. specializes in wrapping vehicles and fleets for local Dallas businesses. One of our favorite business vehicles to wrap is the visually appealing food truck.

When it comes to business, many food truck owners have an idea of how they want their design to come out, but their primary focus is the items on their menu. We understand this completely, and that is why SkinzWraps is here with some handy tips to consider if your food truck business is considering a flashy wrap for the holiday season.

1. Use Your Uniqueness as an Advantage

Before you even begin considering the type of design you want for your food truck, you must look inward. As yourself what makes your business unique, and why people love to order up at your window.

Once you can figure out what puts you a step above the competition, you can then begin to highlight these qualities within your design.

For example, we recently wrapped a Bahama Buck’s trailer. This wrap had a design that focused on their exotic islander theming. This is what sets them apart from other smoothie and snow cone vendors, so it only made sense to use their edge as a focal point.

2. Meet with Your Designer to Tell Your Story

Your story and core beliefs should be what anchors your food truck wrap design. Take some time to meet with your designer one-on-one. During this meeting, tell them your story, who you are, and why you even got into the food truck business.

Remember, your designer is not the specialist of your industry, you are. So, getting the right vibes in place before the initial wrap design is very important. Scheduling this meeting will definitely seal the deal on this part of the design process.

3. Be Open to Collaboration

Once your designer has their creative juices flowing, the real fun begins for your wrap. We know that your brand is your pride and joy, and we want to keep it that way. We only ask that you approach this project as more of a partnership than an assignment.

Our focus is on aesthetic. We want to make your food truck the most appealing one in its niche. This means that our creative expression matters. We will make every effort to make your food truck pop. So, trust that your truck is not in the hands of a novice and let us show you the creativity that has made our brand a success.

4. Showcase Your Delicious Product on Your Food Truck Wrap

Finally, consider your most visually appealing item on the menu and slap it on the side of your truck! At the end of the day, your food truck wrap is a mobile advertisement that draws your customers in. You’d be surprised at how effective a vibrant image of your best item is compared to an illustrated lookalike.

Although it seems that the vehicle wrap is quickly becoming ever more popular, many people just think a wrap is a pre-made sticker that we just slap on. Once an appointment is scheduled for car wrap installation with SkinzWraps, Inc. customers are sometimes in shock at how long the process is going to take.

With the vinyl wrap alone, customers are looking at 2-3 days plus 12 hours of drying. This is without the necessary planning that goes into a successful wrap. Here is a behind-the-scenes look at our planning process for your vehicle. This should help show why we know that your results are definitely worth the wait.

We Create an Accurate Template

After we schedule car wraps, we don’t jump right into the awesome design ideas that we have in mind. It is a crucial step in the creation process to create an accurate template of the client’s vehicle.

This step is in place to help save our clients money because fixes on an already printed wrap can be very costly. In order to expedite this process, we recommend planning ahead for your wrap and providing our team with:

• Accurate photos of your vehicle
• The make and model of your vehicle
• Blueprints of your vehicle (You can purchase these online)

Inspire and Design Your Custom Vehicle Wrap

Some customers who are business owners have a set design in mind for their wrap. However, some just have an idea of what they want but don’t have a fully-formed vision. This is where our creative team steps in.

Sometimes clients may provide us with an outline of an idea, and we have to perform our own research and brainstorming to fill in the creative gaps. This part of your wrap process is probably the most exciting for us because we really get to create something absolutely unique for your vehicle.

Ensure The Design Fits Our Template

Once we have your perfect vinyl wrap designed, we run it by the client and then use our software to apply the design to the template we created for your vehicle. We want your car wrap to be perfect, so ensuring that every aspect of the design we created comes out right on your car is our top priority. This step is basically an exact digital recreation of what your completed design will be. This is even more important if your wrap is part of a marketing campaign, so we pay extra attention to the outcome.

A vinyl wrap on your vehicle is a great way to get a new look or advertise for your local business.

At SkinzWraps, Inc. we understand that a wrap on your vehicle is a temporary decision and is usually made to save money on a new paint job.12

However, it is also a great step to take when you are trying to protect your car and your car’s original paint job. Check out these great reasons why your next wrap could save you some trouble as a car owner.

Your Paint Job is More Fragile Than You Think

Sure, spending the cash on a new paint job may seem like a great investment at the time. But just because you pay the expense, doesn’t mean that it is going to survive under pressure.

Your paint job is actually quite fragile and can easily become ruined by being exposed to daily conditions.

Bugs and Birds

These creatures can both prove to be an acidic danger to your paint job. Bugs themselves have guts that are extremely acidic, and bird feces is also a culprit in an acid problem. These problems are things that most cars deal with on a daily basis. Owners must know that paint jobs slowly deteriorate after months of not having bug spatter and bird droppings cleaned.

Gasoline

The next time that you fill up at the tank, take a moment to notice how much gas spills out on your car when you pull the nozzle from your tank. If gas stains are left uncleaned after an accidental splash on your car, then you can wave goodbye to your brand new paint job. This product highly damages car paint, and over time, can become an extremely expensive fix.

Practical Jokes

We’ve all seen the dirty car in the grocery store parking lot. This is the car with the words “wash me” or other child-like doodles painted on the vehicles dusty body. This may seem like an innocent joke to the average person, but the reality is, that it is awful for your paint job.

Think of the dirt on your car as an abrasive material that has the potential to leave permanent marks on your car even after it has been washed. This means that the cute drawings that passerby make on your vehicle, could end up being a new, lasting design.

A Vinyl Wrap Protects Your Paint Job

When you make the choice to wrap your vehicle, you are protecting it from the described issues as well as other problems. Your color-changing vinyl wrap is not only great to look at, but also acts as a shield against weather-related elements, small scratches, and tiny dings.

One of the many myths about vehicle wraps is that they are bad for your paint job. This is simply an incorrect statement. When the job is carried out by a professional, both the appliance and removal of your wrap can be a lifesaver for your car’s original paint.

The trend of covering one of your residential or commercial vehicles in a vinyl car wrap is currently on the rise in popularity. Most consumers quickly come to understand that a vehicle wrap is a more affordable and creative option when compared to the standard paint job.

From standard cars to large vans, the wrap professionals at SkinzWraps, Inc. have been able to put our innovation to the test on Dallas’ vehicles. Read on to find out our top four hottest trends that are guaranteed to get you and the ride you are in noticed.

1.  Color Changing Car Wrap

The easiest way to show off your style is to change the color of your car. However, when choosing a paint job, you best be prepared for semi-permanence, because if you change your mind, the reversal and re-painting process can be expensive.

Using the expertise of a car vinyl wrap company, you can change up your color while not having to worry about a huge commitment. We understand that people change their minds, and that is why a custom car wrap is so simple and affordable to replace.

2.  Commercial Vehicle Wrap

If you run a business and need all of your vehicles in your fleet to have a similar look, make the economic move of a vinyl wrap. At SkinzWraps, no job is too small or too large. We are committed to helping our clients make their wrap everything that it needs to be for them. Whether that be a brand endorsement, or if they just have a larger vehicle size that needs to be wrapped.

We have been fortunate to help several business owners and clients professionally wrap their large:

• Trucks
• Vans
• Trailers
• RVs

3.  Brand Endorsement

Speaking of business owners, one of the latest trends is to wrap company vehicles in specifically designed wraps that display information about the company and serve as an excellent form of mobile advertising. This type of wrap can commonly be seen on a food truck or a business displaying a high resolution and recognizable logo.

Remember, the right car wrap professional will be able to help you design a wrap that represents your business but doesn’t overcrowd it with too many words and information. Find a company that will help you keep your brand advertising simple and effective.

4.  Intricate Design

It isn’t just business that is into designing stellar car wraps. SkinzWraps, Inc. has been pleased to create some very intricate designs for our residential clients looking for a change.

From flames to cammo, to even the American Flag, we have the ability to make your dream design a reality that gets you attention!

As a local business owner, you most likely already understand the importance of thinking outside of the box with your marketing techniques. We have already discussed some of the benefits of using a vinyl wrap on your business vehicle, but consider these marketing opportunities the next step in our “vinyl wrap master course.”

Here are four ways that you can go a step beyond simply advertising the name of your business through your vehicle wrap.

1. Use Vinyl Wraps to Announce Product Launches

Product launches are extremely important to the success of your business. Your products are the heart and soul of your business, so when a new one comes out, you really need to get the word out about it so your target audience can get excited about it.

With a vinyl wrap, you can easily use this form of vehicle advertising to get the word out around town for your business’ latest offerings.

2. Host Simultaneous Events Across Town

Even though you have a vehicle wrap that is boasting the brand of your company, you can still draw crowds in without using a lot of gas around town.

Take your freshly wrapped vehicle to a specific part of town where you know that your customers will see you. Once there, set up a free event that hosts some sort of game or free sample that will draw potential customers in. During the event, make sure that your vehicle is on-site and proudly displaying the message that your business is eager to convey to potential clients.

This idea is a great low-cost marketing opportunity for your business that allows you to make the most of your vehicle wrap investment while mingling with your customers.

3. Increase Your Brand Recognition with a Fleet

Is your team looking for unique brand recognition marketing opportunities? We suggest vinyl wrapping an entire fleet of business vehicles. This method allows you to be in multiple places at once with your wrapped vehicles. Use the same design or make each vehicle in your fleet unique. The choice is yours, we are merely the artists that make your vision a reality.

4. Vinyl Wraps Can Change at a Low Cost

With competitive Dallas businesses constantly looking for alternative marketing opportunities, marketing strategies can change on a whim. Luckily, vinyl wrap removal is easy when you hire professionals. When the time comes, you can create a new design and set up a removal and new wrap all in the same appointment. Don’t let a shift in marketing make your vehicle wrap design obsolete.

If you are prepared to take the next steps in your vehicle wrap marketing campaign, SkinzWraps, Inc. has the wraps that you need. Our wrap team has the experience, training, and artistic vision to ensure that your next vinyl wrap is one that will meet your marketing expectations.

Everything seems to be available to the DIY crowd these days, even vinyl car wraps. With a quick browse on the internet, a wrap lover can find their own DIY vinyl wrap kit and get going on their wrap job. However, is this really a good idea for the inexperienced wrapper?

Vehicle wraps are part of a delicate process and there are many mistakes that can be made. Here are some of the biggest ones that we have seen in the past.

1. Improper Planning and Measuring

Sure, you know your car well, but do you know it well enough to get the exact measurements needed for your vehicle wrap? Improper planning and measuring can end up leaving your car looking like a mess rather than a masterpiece.

There is a whole equation involved in measuring your car before purchasing your vinyl, and the average person is bound to have a difficult time figuring out how much vinyl they actually need for the job.

2. Overstretching the Vinyl Wrap

Remember that your vinyl material can stretch, but can also be stretched way too thin. One of the key elements in your vinyl wrap is the glue that is heated up to stick to your car. By overstretching your wrap, you are severely thinning out the glue.

By thinning out the glue you will have made the wrap less effective and opened to door to bubbles, curling, and premature removal. Also when you overstretch a vinyl wrap

3. Using the Heat Gun Wrong

One of the main questions that most DIY wrappers ask is with regard to how hot the heat gun needs to be. New wrappers get so wrapped up in measuring the temperature of their heat guns that they forget that they really need to be looking at how the wrap is sticking to the car.

If it is your first wrap, we suggest using a hairdryer at its lowest setting. After a couple of minutes, if the material has not relaxed, then slightly increase the heat. Keep repeating this process until you have reached the desired temperature.

4. Cutting to Size Prior to Application

Many first-timers try to save money on their wrap by cutting the material before placing it on the vehicle. While this system can work, it is a risky one, and you easily put yourself in a situation where your car’s wrap job looks extremely patchy.

5. Not Hiring a Professional Vinyl Wrap Team

The biggest mistake you could make when deciding on your first wrap is to do it yourself and not hire a professional wrap team. A team like the one present at SkinzWraps, Inc. will be able to tell you exactly what your car needs for the right price.

Your car wrap is an investment, so putting your investment in the hands of professionals is really the best decision that you could make.
