New York Fleet Wraps
Looking to gain brand recognition for your business? Fleet wraps are a one time cost that generate thousand of impressions – whether parked or on the road.
How Much Downtime Will You Need For My Fleet Vehicles?
The quick answer: it depends on each individual project.
The longer answer: it depends on the factors listed below. Read on!
Plan Around Your Less Busy Season
It can be time-consuming to wrap your vehicles, especially large fleets, so proper planning is essential. Each extra moment your vehicle remains idle means that there is potential income being lost.
We did a 50 vehicle project on the west coast recently, and one location with 20 vehicles couldn’t give them to our installers – they were too busy on jobs.
Plan around your least busy time of the week, or the quietest time of the year for your fleet wraps. We can wrap vehicles over the weekends, or even late in the evening.
Pro tip: Ask us about installation during evening hours, weekend hours, or help designing graphics that are quicker to install.
Access
Access to your vehicles is by far one of the most important downtime factors.
The amount of vehicles that can be available per day must be determined beforehand to optimize downtime.
Pro tip: Ensure that your vehicles can be accessed as scheduled, or don’t schedule wraps – you’ll end up paying more for installers waiting around with no work.
Communication
Aligning your corporate responsibilities with local manager responsibilities is essential.
We’ve noticed an interesting dynamic between corporate head offices and local shop managers: the higher ups are keenly focused on branding the importance of maintaining a cohesive look on a national scale, but local shop managers are often laser focused only on staying ahead of their work schedules.
Taking 6 vehicles out of commission for a full day is a tough ask for a local manager that is running 20 plus house calls a day.
At National Car Wraps, we set up conference calls before every installation for large fleet vehicles to determine that everyone is on the same page regarding downtime needs.
Our priority is to get things done fast – and we get everyone on the table to make that happen.
Factors Affecting Fleet Wrap Costs
Vehicle Size
The size of the vehicle significantly impacts the cost. Larger vehicles like trucks or vans require more material and labor, increasing the overall price. Smaller vehicles like sedans or compact cars are generally less expensive to wrap.
Coverage
The extent of wrap coverage affects the cost. Full wraps, covering the entire vehicle, are more expensive than partial wraps or decals. However, full wraps offer the most comprehensive branding opportunity and can be more cost-effective in terms of impact per square foot.
Material Choice
Vinyl quality plays a crucial role in pricing. Premium brands like 3M and Avery Dennison, commonly used for fleets, offer durability but at a higher cost. For personal wraps, options range from standard (glossy, matte) to specialty finishes (satin, metallic, chrome), each with different price points.
Location
Labor costs vary significantly across different regions and states in the U.S. For instance, wrapping a vehicle in a metropolitan area like California typically costs more than in a state like Alabama due to differences in labor rates, overhead costs, and market demand.
Downtime
The time required for installation affects labor costs. Partial wraps or simple designs can be completed faster, reducing downtime and cost. However, complex designs or full wraps, while more time-consuming, often provide better branding results. Consider the balance between installation time and desired impact.
