Standard Coverage Options

• Partial Wrap: Typically includes 3 sides — Driver side, Passenger side, and either the Front or Back.

• Full Wrap: Includes all sides — Driver side, Passenger side, Front, and Back. (Roof is included but optional).

Coverage Changes: Clients may switch from a Partial to a Full Wrap at any time during the design process; any adjustments to the final price will be discussed beforehand.

Other Coverage

Manual review is required for projects that fall outside of standard vehicle shapes or coverage.

• Minimal Coverage: Best for spot graphics, decals, or simple door lettering that doesn't require a wrap.

• Unique Layouts: Any vehicle or trailer with additional sides, panels, or dimensions beyond a standard setup. ( May require a custom template; see template section.)

Each design tier is outlined below with descriptions, example images, and a price breakdown for the specific project shown. Pricing for similar projects may vary depending on design complexity, vehicle type, and client requirements. Final pricing reflects overall complexity, asset count, and production requirements.

Note: Certain complex backgrounds or effects—such as chrome, 3D effects, etc—automatically changes the tier to Classic or Premium regardless of asset count.

Minimalist: Simple & clean design focusing on a select color palette, subtle details, and clean lines.

Definitions & Project Terms

*What is an "Asset"?

An asset is any visual design element—excluding standard text, contact information, QR codes, basic icons, and the client’s primary logo—that is custom created, sourced from a stock image website, or AI-generated.

• What Counts: Stock imagery, complex graphics, or elements requiring visual development and meaningful integration regardless if they are provided by the client or not.

• What Does Not Count: Elements requiring minimal placement only—such as small logos, badges, or simple icons.

• Discretion: Pricing adjustments for client-provided assets are applied at the designer’s discretion. Additional assets may be added to any tier at no additional cost on a case-by-case basis.

Project Policies

• Pricing Coverage: Pricing includes time spent designing, communicating with the client, sending proofs, researching and developing concepts and assets, as well as any other time spent on project development.

• Upgrades: The client may upgrade to Standard or Detailed at any time during the design process. Any adjustments to price will be discussed beforehand.

• Unsure? If a client is unsure of which option to select, a design brief will be sent to determine which option best suits their needs.

• Gallery: For more example pictures, please refer to our vehicle wrap gallery page.

Vehicle Templates & Technical Setup

Every project requires an accurate vehicle template to ensure the design fits the real-world dimensions. Please consult with the designer before purchasing a template on your own.

Template Sourcing

• Provided by Client or Designer: No additional fee if the client provides a usable template or if one is already available in the designer’s library.

• Purchased Template (+$40): If a template is unavailable, it can be sourced (typically from The Bad Wrap) for a $35 reimbursement plus a $5 service fee for locating, purchasing, and credit card processing.

  • Note: Purchased templates are jointly owned by the client and designer and can be provided as a separate file upon request.

• Custom Template (Starting at $100): Required for unique layouts, buses, or food trucks where pre-made templates are unavailable.

  • Note: Pricing is flexible for vehicles with straightforward dimensions or those requiring only minor modifications to an existing template.

  • Note: Vehicles with significant cutouts, extra windows, or specialized doors may incur additional fees.

Project Deliverables

All projects include high-quality print-ready files. Choose the level of file access that best suits your production needs.

• Full-Scale Files (Included): You will receive flattened or rasterized ready-to-print files with bleed (no paneling) at full resolution. Files are provided at full-scale or 10th-scale.

• Fully Editable Files (+$50): Includes the original layered files with smart objects and vector assets. This is the ideal choice if you plan to adapt the design for other vehicles or future projects.

• Full Print and/or Cut Setup (starting at $75): Professional technical setup of individual panels in PDF, vector, or other applicable formats. All setups include a standard 1” overlap and 2” bleed (unless specified otherwise). Cut files include outlines with bleed.

  • $75 Rate: Standard setup for both Partial and Full wraps on standard vehicles, including those with minimal paneling or simple cutouts.

  • Custom Rate: Vehicles with very complex layouts, intricate moldings, or significant cutouts may require additional fees.

  • Includes full-scale files upon request; editable files can be added for +$50.

Technical Specifications:

File Formats: Deliverables may include TIFF, PSD, PSB, PDF, EPS, AI, or other industry-standard formats.

Resolution: Standard is 150 ppi for full-scale and 720 ppi for 1/10th-scale. Higher resolutions are available upon request (note: larger files may impact software compatibility).

Archiving: All project files are saved by the designer for use on any future projects.

Custom Quotes: Please request a quote below for print-and-cut jobs or designs requiring minimal setup.

Design Process & Revisions

• Initial Design Concepts: All pricing includes up to two initial design concepts. Often, a single concept is all that’s needed; however, a second concept may be created if the first does not fully meet your vision.

• Required Feedback: Clear feedback is necessary after each stage of the process. Work on a second concept or subsequent revisions will not begin until feedback on the previous version has been received.

• Variations & Revisions: Multiple variations of the same concept (e.g., color swaps or minor layout shifts) are included in the base cost.

• Unlimited Minor Revisions: Each concept or variation includes unlimited minor revisions at no additional cost to ensure the final result meets your expectations.

• Major Changes: Significant design shifts or "starting over" after a concept has been developed may need to be discussed separately and could incur additional fees.

• Additional Concepts: If further unique concepts are needed beyond the initial two, they are available for $50 each.

Communication & Collaboration

Open and timely communication is the key to a successful wrap design.

• Communication Style: Email and text are the preferred methods for communication. These channels allow for quick proofing and a clear record of design decisions.

• Project Momentum: To keep your project on schedule, prompt responses to concepts and revision drafts are greatly appreciated.

• Final Sign-off: Clear communication is especially important during the final approval stage. Once a design is approved and moved into the "Setup" phase for print-ready files, any further changes may incur additional fees.

Payment Terms

• Deposit: A 50% deposit of the total project cost is required before any design work begins. This deposit covers the initial research, creation of design concepts, and the sourcing/purchase of any necessary vehicle templates.

• Final Balance: The remaining balance is due in full before the final print-ready design files are delivered.

• Accepted Payment Methods: For your convenience, payment is accepted via all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle.

• Flexible Financing: PayPal Pay Later is also available (including Pay in 4 or Monthly Pay options, where applicable), allowing you to manage your project budget more effectively.

Fleet & Multi-Vehicle Pricing

• Discounted Rates: Pricing for fleets or additional vehicles using an existing design is offered at a lower cost than the original project. The exact rate may vary depending on the type and total number of vehicles being added.

• Cohesive Branding: This option is ideal for businesses looking to maintain a consistent look across multiple assets while saving on design fees.

• Get a Custom Quote: Because every fleet is unique, please fill out the form below with your vehicle details to receive a personalized quote for your project.

Logo & Branding Services

• Custom Logo Design: If you do not have an existing logo for your wrap, a custom logo can be designed for an additional fee to ensure your brand stands out on the road.

• Logo Vectorization & Recreation: To ensure the highest print quality, all logos must be in a high-resolution or vector format. If the provided files are low-quality or pixelated, they may need to be recreated or vectorized for an additional fee.
