Why We Don’t Show One Exact Price

Cars come in a very wide variety of shapes, models and specifications. Just one type of Ford Transit van can come in tens of sizes, depending on the year it was made and the exact body style.

That’s why we can only provide accurate pricing on a per job basis, since every vehicle make and model involves unique printing and labor.

The price range gives you an idea of cost, but bear in mind that these prices are not exact and can be more or less than indicated here.

How Much Does It Cost To Wrap A Vehicle?

The cost of a vehicle wrap varies depending on several factors, such as the size of the vehicle, the type of wrap material used, and the complexity of the design. A full wrap for a small car could cost anywhere from $1,500 and up, while a full wrap for a large truck could cost upwards of $2,500.

Partial wraps or decals are less expensive and typically range from $500 to $2,000.Car wraps can last at least 9 years, and at National Car Wraps, they are guaranteed for 5 to 7 years.

How To Calculate The Cost of A Car Wrap

To calculate the cost of your car wrap, you need to take into account the following factors:

  • Size of the vehicle – The larger the vehicle, the more wrap material is needed, which increases the cost.
  • Type of wrap material – There are several types of wrap materials available, such as vinyl, cast vinyl, and calendared vinyl. Each has its own price point and level of durability. Virtually all car wraps offered by National Car Wraps is printed using 3M vinyl, the leading material for vehicle wraps in the U.S.
  • Complexity of the design – A simple design with a few colors and finishes is less expensive than a complex design with multiple colors and patterns.
  • Installation costs – The cost of installation varies depending on the complexity of the job and the experience of the installer. Installation also tends to cost more in big cities, like New York or Chicago, where cost of living and, thus cost of labor is higher.

Why Is A Vehicle Wrap So Expensive?

Vehicle wraps are expensive because they require a significant amount of labor and material. The process involves designing the wrap, printing it on vinyl, cutting it to size, and installing it on the vehicle. The wrap must be installed with care to ensure it looks professional and lasts as long as possible.

Additionally, high-quality wrap materials are expensive. They need to be durable enough to withstand the elements and daily wear and tear yet flexible enough to conform to the curves and contours of the vehicle.

Lastly, installation is a crucial part of the process. It requires skill, experience, and specialized tools. A poorly installed wrap can lead to air bubbles, peeling, and premature fading.

So while car wrapping may seem “so expensive” because of the cost of materials and labor, when you take into account customization and value, it’s really quite reasonable!
