With the development of a vinyl adhesive that is both printer compatible and weatherproof, full vehicle wraps became possible.

Permanent means the wraps will survive car washes and harsh environments and removable means that the wrap can be removed, up to 5 years after application, without any damage to the paintwork of the vehicle.

| − | Full vehicle wraps are composed of three main components: laminated, adhesive-backed vinyl applied to the vehicle but excludes the windows. Perforated vinyl is used to cover the windows and cut vinyl is used for the graphics and lettering. The perforated vinyl on the windows shows the print on the outside, but from the inside it gives the effect of a window tint. The cut vinyl adds smaller features onto the wrap design, such as a phone number, email address and office details. The beauty about vehicle wrapping is that if any of those details change, the cut vinyl pieces can be easily removed so the whole car does not need to be re-wrapped.
