How long do vehicle wraps last?

Printed graphics in 3M premium vinyl carry up to seven years of exterior durability, and die-cut graphics in 3M pigmented vinyl carry up to ten. Laminated wraps hold colour for up to five years without significant fade. Actual service life depends on the film, the finish, the climate and how the vehicle is washed and stored.

What is the difference between reflective and non-reflective vehicle graphics?

Reflective vinyl returns light to its source, so the graphic is visible at night under headlights; non-reflective vinyl is not. Reflective is a night-visibility requirement for emergency and refuse fleets and, in several categories, a regulatory one. We manufacture in both and will tell you which your application actually needs rather than upselling the expensive one by default.

Will a wrap damage the paint underneath?

No. Removal usually takes minutes and the original paint underneath is unaffected, which is why leased and resale fleets prefer wraps to paint and why a rebrand does not mean a repaint.

How long does installation take?

A few hours per vehicle in most cases. Before installation the exterior is cleaned to remove dirt, wax and chemical residue — surface preparation is the single biggest factor in whether a wrap adheres properly and stays adhered.

Can you match graphics across an entire fleet?

Yes. We hold artwork and colour specifications so that units added years apart still match the first one, which matters for municipal and contracted fleets that cycle vehicles in over several procurement cycles.

Custom Vehicle Graphics and Fleet Wraps

A vehicle graphic has a harder job than almost any other printed product. It sits in direct sun, gets hit with road salt and pressure washers, flexes over rivets and body seams, and has to look new after five years of it.

Material selection is not a detail on a vehicle wrap. It is the whole job.

Airmark manufactures vehicle graphics using 3M premium inks and vinyl in both reflective and non-reflective finishes, carrying the 3M Matched Component System Warranty with up to ten years of exterior durability. We handle design, proofing, prototyping, manufacturing and installation.

Specification

Reflective and non-reflective

Reflective vinyl is not optional for emergency and refuse fleets — it is a night-visibility requirement and, in several categories, a regulatory one. We manufacture in both, and will tell you which your application actually needs rather than upselling the expensive one by default.

How long they last

Printed graphics, 3M premium vinyl: Up to 7 years exterior
Die-cut graphics, 3M pigmented vinyl: Up to 10 years exterior
Laminated wraps: Up to 5 years without significant colour fade
Bin and rough-surface decals: 3 to 7 years depending on specification
Warranty: 3M MCS Warranty on qualifying matched-component graphics

Installed nationwide

We install in any state through 3M approved installers. Surfaces are cleaned and prepped before application.

Installation is where wraps fail

Edge lifting, bubbling and premature adhesive failure are almost always application problems, not material problems.

Lamination is not optional

Unprotected ink fades under UV the way furniture near a window does. Laminate protects against water, dust, road debris and insects.

Easy to remove

Unlike paint, wraps come off. Removal usually takes minutes and the original paint underneath is unaffected.
