Vehicle Wrap Advertising FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Vehicle Wrap Advertising

Absolutely. Your custom vehicle wrap can include digitally printed graphics with artwork, type, brand logos and photos to identify and promote your business to your customers.

In many cases, a vehicle wrap will actually protect your vehicle’s paint job.

Before you advertise your business on your car, you may want to check with your local municipalities and state laws. Many states regulate rear-tinted windows and many cities regulate commercial advertisements on cars. If you are unsure about car business advertisements, check with us first.

You can have the damaged pieces or panel of your vehicle wrap replaced after you repair your vehicle. In most cases, you do not need to rewrap the entire vehicle if damage occurs in a certain area of the car.
