BUS WRAPS TURN HEADS ON THE ROAD

A bus wrap is a large-scale graphic that covers the exterior of a bus, creating an eye-catching and attention-grabbing display. It’s like a mobile billboard that travels through the streets, highways, and neighborhoods, reaching a wide audience wherever it goes.

With a bus wrap, you can turn heads, generate buzz, and make a lasting impression on potential customers. According to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA), such advertising is shown to have the greatest impact on awareness, recommendation and purchase-intent metrics for brands.

How Does A National Bus Wrap Project Work?

Wrapping a fleet of buses on a national level is no easy feat. It requires careful consideration of the design, printing and installation processes while maintainin the minimum downtime of your buses during the wrap installation.

Whether you need a single bus wrapped or hundreds, we’ve got you covered nationwide. Here’s how we take care of your bus wrapping needs at National Car Wraps:

Step 1:

COLLECTING DATA FOR ALL VEHICLES

The first step of a national bus wrapping project is to compile all necessary data in one spreadsheet. This includes the make, model, location and year of each bus, as well as any additional relevant information.

Step 2:

EVALUATING THE COSTS

In addition to factoring in the downtime of your buses, we will prepare a detailed project proposal outlining all associated costs including:

  • Removal of existing graphics (if applicable)
  • Design of new graphics (if your brand doesn’t have existing designs)
  • Printing of new graphics for all buses
  • Installation of graphics on all vehicles

Step 3:

MOCK-UP DESIGN

Once the data and costs have been finalized, we will move on to designing the wrap for your buses.

Having a great design that has worked for your other marketing efforts isn’t enough. You need a graphic designer trained to work on vehicle graphics to ensure the design fits the contours and shapes of the bus accurately.

Our team of graphic designers at National Car Wraps has extensive experience in wrapping buses of various models. We will create custom mock-ups of your design on your bus to give you a clear visual representation of the final product.

Step 4:

PRINTING AND INSTALLATION

With the design approved, we’re ready to print and install your wrap! We will coordinate installation dates with a National Car Wraps quality-certified installer.

Unlike other national wrap companies, we print all graphics in-house. This ensures uniformity in design across all of your buses, as every printing machine has slight variations in color. By using the same machine for all graphics, we guarantee consistent colors on every bus.

PARTIAL VS. FULL VINYL WRAPS FOR BUSES

When it comes to bus wraps, you have the option to choose between partial or full wraps based on your specific needs and budget.

Partial Wraps: Partial wraps cover specific areas of the bus, such as the sides, back, or windows. They offer a cost-effective solution while still providing ample space to display your brand messaging and graphics. Partial wraps can be just as impactful as full wraps, creating a cohesive and visually striking design that captures attention.

Full Wraps: Full wraps cover the entire surface of the bus, providing a complete transformation and maximum exposure for your brand. With a full bus wrap, you have a larger canvas to work with, allowing for more intricate designs and messaging. This option ensures that your bus becomes an unforgettable mobile advertisement that stands out on the road.

Our experienced team will guide you through the decision-making process, considering your goals, budget, and design preferences to help you choose the best option for your business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Generally, a typical wrap on a small truck can start at $1,500. If you’re looking for a full wrap on a larger truck with multiple customizations, it could range up to $5,000 plus. The only way to know for sure is to get an estimate! You can click our Get A Quote button to get started. 

A major determining factor in how expensive your fleet vehicle wraps will be is the complexity of the application. Increased labor or complexity adds to the cost of having your wrap installed. 

Similarly, a four-door crew cab will likely require more material than a two-door cab, so the price will probably also be higher. However, you can cut costs if you opt for a partial wrap on a larger vehicle.

Fleet managers are often tasked with the labor-intensive job of coordinating consistent fleet vehicles across the country. National Car Wraps make this process simple.

First, you’ll connect with our experienced design team to develop the best vehicle wraps and graphics for your needs and budget. Our experienced designers understand the best ways to maximize vehicle ad space to create clear messaging.

Next, we will print the design on high-quality vinyl. Some fleet managers have their own in-house wrap team who will take over from there, or we can ship the wraps to our network of installers in the markets where your vehicles are. All you need to do is get your vehicles to the local drop-off, then wait for installation!

Yes, we absolutely can. Designing graphics for a 3-D object like a vehicle differs from designing for a traditional billboard, flyer, or web graphic.

Our design team can help you start from scratch or modify existing designs and logos to fit best on the vehicles in your fleet. We’ll help you maximize impact and budget to get your desired results.

Some fleets have a variety of vehicles. For example, you may have sedans, vans, and even trailers that all require consistent wrapping and branding.

Our design team has all the experience necessary to adapt designs to fit your needs. Consistency and quality are the keys to fleet branding success, and we know how to get that done.

Despite their appearance, most vehicle wraps are not manufactured as a single piece. Instead, they come in several pieces, each designed for different panels and parts of the vehicle body.

A full wrap covers the entire paint job on every portion of the truck, whereas a partial wrap only covers a portion of the vehicle, usually the rear and/or the tailgate.

As you might expect, a full wrap requires more material than a partial and additional labor. Therefore you can assume a higher price point when considering a full wrap.

Some businesses also opt for smaller graphics, also known as decals, to get their messaging across in a more cost-effective manner. We are equipped to help with whatever your needs are! Contact National Car Wraps for a quote today.
