Vehicle vinyl wraps come in all shapes, sizes and types. Whether you are wrapping a trailer, car, van or your entire vehicle fleet; vinyl vehicle wraps are a fantastic choice for businesses in Riverside, CA.. Creativity combined with versatility are two of the main components that help make vehicle wraps an affordable option, depending on the color of the vehicle; partial vehicle wraps can provide the same high invisibility that you’re looking for; at fraction of the price. Recently the Plumbing Master, serving Riverside, CA. & surrounding areas chose Precision Signs & Graphics for their partial vehicle wrap for their fleet of vehicles; let’s look at some of the steps that brought about this affordable partial wrap project.
Being Creative, Saves Money
When Plumbing Master, serving Riverside, CA. & surrounding areas, was considering branding their fleet vehicles they looked for options that would give them the best “bang for their buck”. With their particular branded color set of the company already incorporating the same color as their fleet vehicles, a partial vehicle wrap could provide them the same visual effect; and save money too! When looking for a company to design, create and install their partial wrap for their fleet vehicles they chose Precision Signs & Graphics. They considered carefully the craftsmanship, quality of vinyl wrap materials that Precision has come to be known for in the Riverside, CA. area. As this partial wrap project was to be a branding point for their company, it was important that the quality of the partial wrap reflected the quality reputation that they have earned within the community as well.
The Partial Wrap Process
Step One: Partial Vehicle Wrap Design
With Plumbing Master constantly being on the road traveling to customer’s homes, businesses and construction job sites; their fleet can easily be seen by hundreds or thousands of people in the Riverside, CA. area every day. With a partial vehicle wrap being one of the first impressions that customers will see (whether it be in Riverside, CA, or elsewhere), close attention must be paid during the initial consultation and design. By providing examples, we were able to identify the fonts, colors, graphics and sizing needed to create the partial vehicle wrap to Plumbing Master’s specifications. Utilizing some additional resources such as their print media and website we crafted a design that accentuated the branded look that followed along with their creative marketing.
It goes without saying that the final partial vehicle wrap design was approved by Plumbing Master prior to material selection and installation. They were also able to see a full color rendering of what the finished product was to look like before the installation began.
Step Two: Partial Vehicle Wrap Materials Selection
Based upon the overall partial vehicle wrap specifications identified in the design we look for the proper 3M or Avery materials that will best suit the application. Materials were carefully hand selected based on the long term mindset we seek to fulfill with our quality partial vehicle wraps. When choosing the correct 3M or Avery vinyl wrap material we look at the following factors:
Some vinyl films allow digital and screen printed graphics to be applied where deep contours and corrugations are found (typical on van models with recessed areas and performance cars that have a lot of flair). Other types of films are selected because the application needs, for example whether the application will be for a short or long-term needs. These removable films are great for fleet and vehicle graphics; its versatility also works well with interior and exterior signs.

When it comes to window applications, we use a vinyl where the ability to look thru the material is needed. Typically, from the inside looking out, this is perfect for those vehicle wraps that require the design to cover the windows where it’s necessary or required that the driver be able to easily see out through the printed vinyl. This material also works great for storefront window applications as well.
Step 3: Partial Vehicle Wrap Installation
As part of the process for a partial vehicle wrap installation, the installation crew will receive a design template (printout) that identifies the location points for the most important elements in the design, namely the largest photograph or design element and any logos, phone numbers, websites or slogans. Materials are preprinted, cut, labeled (numbered) in the sequence of installation. These pieces are positioned in place while making sure to align these elements first, allowing any additional graphic elements to freely flow around the vehicle shape and complex curves. Because on many partial vehicle wrap installations the design attempts to avoid curved areas, the installation can be pretty straightforward.
Next the material is stretched as needed for the shape (much like you would see when you’re stretching plastic wrap over the top of a glass bowl in your kitchen). Only this material is made to be long-lasting in the sun, super durable in the rain and able to be washed over and over again for years to come. Even for a partial vehicle wrap this process can be a little tricky. For large logo sections you still have to deal with rivets, curvatures in the body of the vehicle, door handles, glass with moldings, etc. this is where experience really pays off.
