Here's a breakdown of common vinyl wrap materials:

  • Calendered Vinyl:

    • Pros: More economical, easier to cut and install, suitable for flat surfaces with simpler designs (signage, walls).

    • Cons: Less conformable than cast vinyl, not ideal for curves or complex shapes.

  • Textured Vinyl:

    • Pros: Offers unique aesthetic finishes like matte, metallic, carbon fiber, or brushed metal.

    • Cons: Can be more challenging to install and may have specific cleaning requirements.

Vinyl Wrap Applications

Vinyl wraps have a wide range of applications, including:

  • Vehicle Wraps: Full wraps, partial wraps, and graphics for cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, boats, etc.

  • Architectural Wraps: Walls, floors, furniture, windows in offices, lobbies, stores, restaurants, and more.

Vinyl Wrap Pricing

The cost of a vinyl wrap project depends on several factors:

Material: Cast vinyl is generally more expensive than calendered vinyl, and textured vinyl might have a premium cost.

Size and Complexity: Larger wraps or those with intricate designs require more material and labor, increasing the price.

Surface: Wrapping vehicles is typically more expensive due to the complex curved surfaces.
