Vehicle wraps are a sign transferred to the surface of a vehicle.
Vehicle Wraps Explained
1. What are vehicle wraps?
Vehicle wraps are a type of sign, a graphic or decal that you see on a car, van or truck. These signs are a printed vinyl film with a variety of finishes (gloss, matte, etc.) which can be sealed over your vehicle without damaging it. In fact, they'll actually protect your vehicle from minor scratches. Plus, they can be removed safely!
Vehicle wraps can be small and blend in with the current colour of your vehicle or they can completely change the look of it like the van in the picture above.
If you choose to work with AGC Signs, your vehicle graphics will be professionally installed by technicians after it has been carefully designed.
With proper installation and maintenance, your wrap will last 5 years or more.

2. How do you install them?
Wrapping a vehicle is a professional job, but let’s look at the basic steps.
A wrap is designed to fit the chosen vehicle
The vehicle is cleaned and prepared
The vinyl film is laid out and cut to roughly fit
Any adhesive backing is removed
The vinyl film is stretched to fit, smoothed and sealed using sweeping motions of a soft-edged squeegee and the application of heat
Excess vinyl is trimmed and folded under
The wrap is left to set and cure
We know we made this sound easy! It isn’t of course, so that is why we recommend professional installation of vehicle wraps. You won’t be disappointed or damage your car.
However, if you do attempt to wrap your vehicle yourself, here are some tips:
Acclimate yourself to the vinyl - play around with a scrap piece, heating it, stretching it, etc.
Use isopropyl alcohol for cleaning your car
Order extra vinyl in case (or for when) you make mistakes
Try knifeless tape to safely trim excess vinyl
For professional installation of vehicle wraps, contact AGC Signs.
Vehicle wraps should have contact info clearly displayed.

Furthermore, vehicle wraps are ideal for the following reasons:
They are an easy marketing tool
They are cost effective (it’s cheaper than having a vehicle painted)

“I was referred to AGC Graphics to have some custom graphics made for my Camaro. I’m so happy that I paid them a visit. Adrian and his designer worked with me to come up with a custom layout that was exactly what I was looking for. I was involved every step of the way and was treated with the utmost respect. They made me feel part of the process and understood how important it was to me even though it wasn’t a huge job. I’m so glad that I choose to go with them. Thank you again Adrian for helping my vision turn to reality!”
