How does a project with Ardor Printing work?
Every Ardor Printing project follows the same path: a free consult and quote, a site visit or measure when the job needs one, design with a mockup and proof you approve, printing and lamination in-house, installation by Ardor's own certified crew, and a final walkthrough backed by a 1-year installation warranty. Nothing is printed until you approve the proof.
One shop, one team, start to finish
Ardor Printing makes vehicle wraps, signs and wall graphics for Puget Sound businesses, designed, printed and installed in-house since 2012. Because our designers, production team and installers all work under one roof, your project never gets lost between departments, and the graphic you approve is the graphic that goes up.
The steps below are the same whether you're wrapping one work van, rebranding a fleet, lettering a storefront or covering an office in wall graphics. Only the timeline changes.
The six steps of every Ardor project
-
Free consult & quote
Tell us about your vehicles, signs or space by phone or through the quote form. Quotes are free, and signs, walls and window film get a free on-site estimate.
-
Site visit & measure
For walls, windows and building signs we measure the space and check the surface. For vehicles we check the paint, since peeling clear coat, rust or old graphics need to be handled before install.
-
Design, mockup & proof
Our in-house designers build your graphics from your logo or from scratch, or prep your own files for large-format print. You see a mockup on your vehicle, wall or windows and approve the proof before anything prints.
-
Print, laminate & cut
Approved artwork is printed in-house on premium films, including cast films from 3M and Avery Dennison for wraps, laminated where it needs protection and cut to shape on our Zünd cutter.
-
Installation
Our own certified installers handle every job. We can pick up and deliver vehicles, put multiple installers on one vehicle to cut downtime, and install walls on-site, after hours if needed.
-
Walkthrough & follow-up
We review the finished job with you, go over care, and stand behind it with a 1-year installation warranty. If anything comes up, you'll have a solution within 24 hours.

How long does each type of project take?
Design and proofing come first, and every quote includes a timeline for your job. After you approve the proof, these are typical times:
- Custom stickers: most orders are ready in 2–3 business days.
- Coroplast yard signs: most orders are ready in 2–3 business days.
- Vehicle wraps: most vehicles are installed in a day; full wraps on larger or more complex vehicles take 1–5 days.
- Color change wraps: most take 2–5 days.
- Wall wraps and murals: most single walls are installed in a day; multi-wall, floor and building projects are scheduled over several days.
- Van upfits: most single-van upfits take a few days once the equipment is in stock.
- Trade show displays: order a few weeks before your show to leave time for design, proofs and production.
What to send with your quote request: your logo or artwork (vector AI, EPS, PDF or SVG files work best; high-resolution PNG or JPG files are fine too), the year, make and model of each vehicle, and photos and measurements for walls, windows or signs.
