CATZILLA SIGNS is the new brand of Quarter Cheaper Signs Ltd., serving Metro Vancouver businesses since 2020.
Custom Vehicle Wraps
Vehicle wraps use printed or coloured vinyl applied directly to the painted surfaces of a vehicle.
They can be used to:
- Advertise a business
- Display contact information
- Promote products and services
- Create a professional fleet appearance
- Change the colour of a vehicle
- Add custom graphics
- Update an existing brand
- Protect portions of the original paint
Every vehicle wrap is customized to the vehicle, business and intended use.
We can help you choose a practical option based on your budget, desired coverage, vehicle condition and marketing goals.
Commercial Vehicle Wraps
Commercial vehicle wraps help local businesses stay visible throughout the day.
Your vehicle can advertise your company while:
- Driving between job sites
- Parked outside a customer’s property
- Travelling through busy commercial areas
- Parked at your business
- Making deliveries
- Attending events
- Working in residential neighbourhoods
Commercial wraps are commonly used by:
- Contractors
- Electricians
- Plumbers
- Cleaning companies
- Landscapers
- Delivery businesses
- Mobile services
- Restaurants and food businesses
- Real estate professionals
- Construction companies
- Property maintenance companies
- Automotive businesses
A clear, well-designed wrap can help customers understand what you do and how to contact you within seconds.
Full Vehicle Wraps
A full wrap covers most of the vehicle’s painted exterior.
Depending on the vehicle and project, coverage may include:
- Driver and passenger sides
- Rear doors or tailgate
- Hood
- Front and rear bumpers
- Roof
- Mirrors
- Additional exterior panels
Full wraps provide the largest visual impact and allow the design to flow across the entire vehicle.
They are suitable for:
- Complete commercial branding
- Promotional vehicles
- Fleet vehicles
- Custom designs
- Colour changes
- High-impact advertising
The exact coverage should be clearly defined in the quote before production begins.
Door handles, mirrors, bumpers, roofs and other complex areas may be included or excluded depending on the selected package.
Partial Vehicle Wraps
A partial wrap covers selected areas of the vehicle rather than the entire exterior.
Common partial-wrap areas include:
- Vehicle sides
- Rear doors
- Tailgate
- Hood
- Lower panels
- Roof
- Quarter panels
- Commercial cargo areas
Partial wraps can provide strong advertising impact at a lower cost than a full wrap.
A good partial-wrap design uses the vehicle’s original colour as part of the overall layout.
Partial wraps are a practical choice for businesses that want large graphics without covering every panel.
Vehicle Lettering and Door Logos
Not every business requires a full printed wrap.
Simple vehicle lettering and logos can create a clean professional appearance while keeping costs lower.
Vehicle lettering may include:
- Company name
- Logo
- Phone number
- Website
- Services
- Licence information
- Social media
- Unit numbers
- Safety information
- QR codes
Cut vinyl graphics are especially suitable for:
- Service vans
- Pickup trucks
- Contractor vehicles
- Delivery vehicles
- Temporary fleet vehicles
- Small businesses
- Minimalist branding
For the best readability, important information should be large, simple and easy to understand from a distance.
Commercial Van Wraps
Cargo vans provide a large advertising surface and are ideal for business branding.
We create graphics for vehicles such as:
- Ford Transit
- Ford E-Series
- Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
- Ram ProMaster
- Chevrolet Express
- GMC Savana
- Nissan NV
- Compact cargo vans
- Cube vans
- Delivery vans
Van wraps can include:
- Full-side printed graphics
- Partial wraps
- Rear-door graphics
- Perforated rear-window vinyl
- Door lettering
- Service lists
- Contact information
- Fleet numbers
- Safety markings
The side and rear of a van should normally carry the most important information because these areas receive the most viewing time.
Pickup Truck Wraps
Pickup trucks can be branded using full wraps, partial wraps, door graphics or lettering.
Possible applications include:
- Cab graphics
- Box-side graphics
- Tailgate wraps
- Door logos
- Hood graphics
- Rear-window graphics
- Contractor lettering
- Fleet identification
The design should account for body lines, door gaps, handles, wheel arches and the shape of the truck bed.
Car Wraps
Cars can be wrapped for commercial advertising, promotional use or colour changes.
Options include:
- Full printed wraps
- Partial wraps
- Door logos
- Hood wraps
- Roof wraps
- Racing stripes
- Accent graphics
- Colour-change vinyl
- Custom designs
- Promotional campaign wraps
Compact vehicles have less advertising space than vans or trucks, so the design should remain simple and focused.
Large logos, strong contrast and minimal wording are generally more effective than long lists of services.
Fleet Vehicle Graphics
Consistent fleet graphics help multiple vehicles look like part of one professional company.
We can produce graphics for:
- Small business fleets
- Service vehicles
- Delivery vehicles
- Contractor vans
- Municipal or institutional fleets
- Franchise vehicles
- Construction fleets
- Sales vehicles
Fleet graphics can include:
- Standardized logos
- Vehicle identification numbers
- Unit numbers
- Consistent contact information
- Service descriptions
- Safety markings
- Reflective elements
Design files can be adapted for different vehicle models while keeping the brand appearance consistent.
For larger fleets, production and installation may be scheduled in stages to reduce vehicle downtime.
Colour-Change Wraps
Colour-change vinyl can transform the appearance of a vehicle without repainting it.
Available finishes may include:
- Gloss
- Matte
- Satin
- Metallic
- Colour-shifting
- Textured
- Specialty finishes
Colour-change wraps require careful preparation and typically involve more detailed installation around edges, handles and body contours.
The final result depends heavily on:
- Vehicle condition
- Paint quality
- Previous body repairs
- Panel alignment
- Existing chips and scratches
- Rust or corrosion
- Quality of repainting
A vehicle inspection is recommended before accepting a colour-change wrap project.
Colour-change wraps are not intended to repair damaged paint, dents, peeling clear coat or rust.
Printed Vehicle Graphics
Printed wraps allow photographs, gradients, textures, logos and complex designs to be reproduced on vehicle vinyl.
The typical production process includes:
- Graphic design
- Vehicle layout
- Large-format printing
- Protective lamination
- Contour cutting
- Panel preparation
- Professional installation
Printed graphics are normally laminated before installation to help protect the image from scratches, cleaning, UV exposure and normal road use.
Perforated Window Graphics
Perforated window vinyl can extend the wrap design across selected vehicle windows while maintaining limited visibility from inside.
It is commonly used on:
- Rear windows
- Side cargo windows
- Van windows
- SUV rear glass
- Commercial fleet vehicles
Window-perforated graphics should not be installed where they interfere with legal visibility or vehicle operation.
The material may require edge sealing or lamination depending on the application and expected service life.
Local regulations and insurance requirements should be considered before covering vehicle windows.
Vehicle Wrap Design
A vehicle wrap should communicate the most important information quickly.
Drivers and pedestrians often have only a few seconds to see the vehicle.
An effective commercial wrap normally prioritizes:
- Company name
- Main service
- Phone number or website
- Strong visual branding
Too much small text can make a wrap difficult to read.
We design vehicle graphics with attention to:
- Viewing distance
- Vehicle shape
- Door seams
- Handles
- Windows
- Wheel arches
- Body lines
- Colour contrast
- Logo size
- Text readability
- Contact information
- Safe areas for important graphics
The design should look balanced from the sides, rear and front of the vehicle.
Vehicle Templates and Measurements
Vehicle templates provide a useful starting point for design, but they are not always completely accurate.
Before final production, we may require:
- Vehicle make
- Vehicle model
- Model year
- Body style
- Wheelbase
- Roof height
- Door configuration
- Clear vehicle photos
- Physical measurements
Accessories and modifications can affect the final layout, including:
- Roof racks
- Ladders
- Toolboxes
- Running boards
- Aftermarket bumpers
- Spoilers
- Cameras
- Sensors
- Window configurations
- Body repairs
Final graphics should be prepared for the actual vehicle rather than relying only on a generic template.
Vehicle Condition
The condition of the vehicle can affect both installation quality and future vinyl removal.
Before wrapping, the vehicle should be free from:
- Rust
- Peeling paint
- Failing clear coat
- Uncured paint
- Silicone
- Wax
- Oil
- Heavy contamination
- Loose body filler
- Significant dents
- Damaged panels
Vinyl may not adhere properly to failing or poorly repaired paint.
Removing vinyl can also lift weak, damaged or improperly applied paint.
Vehicles with repainting or body repairs should be disclosed before installation.
A wrap is not a substitute for bodywork or paint repair.
Vehicle Preparation
The vehicle must arrive clean and dry.
Before installation:
- Remove loose dirt and road contamination
- Do not apply wax or polish
- Avoid silicone-based cleaning products
- Remove personal items that restrict access
- Empty commercial cargo where necessary
- Repair loose trim or body parts
- Identify any recent repainting
- Confirm that the vehicle is available for the required installation period
Final surface cleaning is completed as part of the installation process, but heavily contaminated vehicles may require additional cleaning charges.
Vehicle disassembly may be recommended for some wraps.
This may include removing:
- Handles
- Mirrors
- Lights
- Emblems
- Trim
- Licence plates
- Accessories
The level of disassembly depends on the required finish, vehicle type and wrap coverage.
Wrap Installation
Vehicle wrapping is a detailed process that requires proper surface preparation, panel alignment and controlled application.
Installation may involve:
- Cleaning and degreasing
- Removing selected trim
- Positioning printed panels
- Applying vinyl
- Heating and forming the material
- Trimming around edges
- Sealing high-stress areas
- Reinstalling removed components
- Final inspection
- Post-heating specified areas
Installation time depends on:
- Vehicle size
- Wrap coverage
- Design complexity
- Number of panels
- Vehicle condition
- Disassembly requirements
- Temperature and working conditions
Commercial lettering may be completed more quickly than a full printed wrap.
Wrap Materials
Material selection depends on the vehicle, duration, panel shape and project budget.
Professional vehicle wraps normally require vinyl designed specifically for automotive and conformable applications.
The selected system may include:
- Cast wrap vinyl
- Air-release adhesive
- Repositionable adhesive
- Protective cast laminate
- Specialty colour-change vinyl
- Perforated window film
- Reflective vinyl
- Cut lettering vinyl
Different materials are suitable for different applications.
A flat door logo does not require the same material as a full wrap covering deep channels and compound curves.
We recommend materials according to the actual application rather than using one product for every vehicle.
Reflective Vehicle Graphics
Reflective vinyl can increase visibility at night when illuminated by headlights.
It may be used for:
- Emergency-style markings
- Safety graphics
- Unit numbers
- Commercial lettering
- Fleet identification
- Rear chevrons
- High-visibility accents
Reflective materials have different installation requirements and costs than standard vinyl.
They may also be subject to regulations depending on the vehicle and graphic style.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care can help extend the appearance and service life of vehicle graphics.
Recommended care includes:
- Hand washing whenever practical
- Using mild automotive soap
- Avoiding harsh chemicals
- Avoiding abrasive brushes
- Keeping pressure-washer nozzles away from edges
- Removing fuel spills and contaminants promptly
- Cleaning bird droppings and tree sap quickly
- Avoiding prolonged exposure to extreme heat where possible
- Inspecting edges periodically
Automatic car washes with aggressive brushes may damage vinyl or lift edges.
Pressure washing should be done carefully and never directed closely against vinyl seams or edges.
Wrap Lifespan
The lifespan of a vehicle wrap depends on many factors, including:
- Vinyl type
- Laminate
- Installation quality
- Vehicle storage
- Sun exposure
- Horizontal versus vertical surfaces
- Driving conditions
- Cleaning methods
- Climate
- Maintenance
Roofs, hoods and other horizontal surfaces generally receive more UV and environmental exposure than vertical panels.
No wrap has the same lifespan on every vehicle or every panel.
Wrap Removal
Vehicle vinyl should be removed using suitable heat, tools and techniques.
Removal time depends on:
- Vinyl age
- Material quality
- Sun exposure
- Surface condition
- Vehicle paint
- Previous repairs
- Adhesive condition
Older or heavily weathered vinyl may take considerably longer to remove.
Vinyl removal does not guarantee that damaged, repainted or failing paint will remain intact.
Wrap removal and adhesive cleanup are normally quoted separately.
Temporary Promotional Wraps
Temporary vehicle graphics are useful for:
- Brand activations
- Product launches
- Events
- Film productions
- Seasonal promotions
- Short-term advertising
- Parade vehicles
- Promotional campaigns
Temporary graphics should still use suitable materials and be installed with consideration for the vehicle’s paint condition.
Tell us how long the graphics need to remain installed so we can recommend an appropriate solution.
