Printed vehicle wrap prices by vehicle type

Printed wraps are what most businesses use: your logo, photos, phone number and colors printed on 3M wrap film and installed over the paint. These prices are for a full printed wrap. Design is quoted separately: full wrap design starts from $1,000 and partial wrap design from $650.

Dually rear fenders, long beds, canopies, service bodies and wrapped chrome add to the price. Box trucks are priced by box length and how many sides you wrap (see box truck wrap prices and examples). Many businesses wrap the box sides and rear and letter the cab doors, which puts the budget where the most people see it. See real examples on our vehicle wraps and fleet graphics page.

Color change wrap prices

A color change wrap covers your car in a solid film such as gloss, satin or matte instead of printed graphics. It's the most popular way to change a car's color without paint, and it protects the factory finish underneath.

Exotic and luxury cars cost more because of complex curves, more disassembly (badges, handles, lights and trim) and extra care around sensors and paint protection film. Learn more on our color change car wraps page.

Full wrap vs. partial wrap vs. spot graphics vs. lettering

You don't always need a full wrap. Here's what each coverage level costs.

A partial wrap can look like a full wrap for about 30% to 50% less. For a deeper comparison, read half wraps vs. full wraps.

Fleet wrap pricing

If you're wrapping several vehicles, fleet orders are quoted per vehicle and you only pay for the design once, since the same layout is adapted to each vehicle. Matching vehicles (for example, five Ford Transit vans) are the most cost-effective. Ardor Printing offers fleet pricing, vehicle pick-up and delivery, and scheduling that keeps your trucks on the road.

Fleet wraps start at $3,500 per vehicle. That starting price fits partial wraps or large fleets of smaller vehicles, and full wraps on vans and trucks usually cost more, so use the prices by vehicle above as a guide. Ask us for fleet pricing. See options and examples on our fleet vehicle wraps page, or use the fleet wrap ROI calculator to estimate what your fleet wrap costs and how many impressions it gets.

Because we're an authorized WEATHER GUARD dealer, fleets can also get shelving, ladder racks, headache racks and toolboxes installed in the same place. See our vehicle upfitting page.

What affects the price of a vehicle wrap?

1. Vehicle size. More surface means more film and more install time. This is the biggest price factor.
2. Coverage. Full wrap, partial wrap, spot graphics or lettering.
3. Design. A simple logo layout costs less than a fully custom printed design with photos.
4. Film. Standard printed film, color change, reflective, chrome, carbon fiber and color-shift films are all priced differently. Premium cast films from 3M and Avery Dennison cost more than economy vinyl but last longer.
5. Body shape and extras. Deep curves, bumpers, canopies, service bodies, long beds and chrome trim take more time.
6. Vehicle condition. Vinyl needs good paint underneath. Peeling clear coat, rust or old graphics need to be addressed before install.
7. Fleet size. Multi-vehicle orders share one design, which lowers the cost per vehicle.

Is a vehicle wrap worth the cost?

For most businesses, yes. A $4,800 van wrap that lasts 5 years works out to about $80 a month. That's less than most digital ad campaigns, and your van advertises every time it's driven or parked at a job site.

For personal cars, a color change wrap usually costs less than a quality paint job in a new color, which often runs $5,000 to $10,000 or more. A wrap is also reversible, while a new paint job is permanent. It protects the original paint and can be removed when you sell the car or want a new look.

How long does a wrap last?

A professionally installed printed wrap lasts up to 8 years on vertical surfaces like doors and sides. Hoods and roofs get more sun and typically last about 3 years before they need attention. Hand wash or use a touchless car wash only, and wait 72 hours after install before the first wash. Read more in how long does a car wrap last.

How to save money on a vehicle wrap

• Choose partial coverage. A well-designed partial wrap or spot graphics can look great for a fraction of the price.
• Keep the design simple. Clean layouts with a bold logo and phone number read better on the road and cost less to design.
• Wrap matching vehicles together. One design across a fleet lowers the cost per vehicle.
• Don't cheap out on film. Low-grade film can crack, fade or damage paint on removal. Premium 3M film costs a little more and lasts years longer.
• Choose an experienced installer. Clean seams and properly post-heated edges keep a wrap from lifting.
