Die-cut vinyl decals are typically made from calendared media that is plotted (machine cut). After which, someone will install that media using a pre-mask. Door lettering or media that’s commonplace among utility vehicles, such as police cars, are traditionally die-cut vinyl.

A vehicle wrap usually involves digitally-printed cast media, which is then installed without a pre-mask. Commercial vehicle wraps are popular among small businesses that are looking for efficient ways to advertise. Have you seen a real-estate agent’s face plastered on the side of a car? Have you felt the cold chill from a printed blue hi-resolution ice cube on a refrigeration company’s truck? These are examples of vehicle wraps.

If a wrap is cared for well, it can last up to 7 years. Washing your car regularly, applying wrap after-care products and parking your vehicle indoors when you’re not using it are a few tips that will help you extend your wrap’s longevity.

Three factors dictate how a job is priced: the amount of material being used, the time required to design the art and the installation’s degree of difficulty. A commercial wrap for a standard sedan or SUV typically ranges from $2500 – $4000.

Color-change wraps are also priced based on these factors. Changing the color of a sedan or SUV typically costs $3250 – $5000. Prices for wrapping exotic vehicles vary. The time frame in which a customer needs a job completed can also affect the price. Customers should come in for an estimate as well properly schedule their job for the best possible price and experience.

We use Roland printers, which have their own color system. If you have a specific color you need to match, PMS color for example, we’ll match it using Roland’s color system library. Before sending jobs into production, we always let the customer proof our work.

The direct to garment printer works essentially like an inkjet printer. It prints ink onto the fabric and then we heat the ink into the fabric allowing it to stay there permanently. This way of transferring the image on to the fabric is light weight and has no texture on the fabric, with no peeling or cracking allowing the texture to remain consistent through the garment. DTG is ideal for photographs, full color process, and no minimums.

Screen printing is a printing technique where the image is broken down by color and passed through a screen with a squeegee. The colors are more vibrant because the ink lays on the shirt. This is an ideal process for bulk orders with fewer colors.

Embroidery is a custom process, we take your image and we digitize it into a DST file for the embroidery machines. It can then be sewn on hats, jackets, and polo’s to mention a few. We can even embroider your logo on bags or do puff embroidery for hats. This can be applied to almost any fabric or material. A set up digitizing fee applies to all first time orders.

Wrapping your vehicle is a great way to protect your original paint. Proper maintenance will protect your car’s paint for as long as your wrap endures. Its also a solid way to advertise anywhere you go! Vehicle wraps give you the biggest bang for your buck. The more you drive, the more visible your company is. Depending daily travel, your wrap can garner 30,000 to 70,000 views per day.

Most vehicle wraps will take 3 – 5 days for installation.

Our prices are determined by how much material a job requires as well as the brand of vinyl that is being used. Typicaly, we charge per linear foot of material or by square footage.

Installation

$100 / HOUR
Typically, it takes one installer to complete a job in a timely manner, we charge $100 an hour per installer. Sometimes a customer needs a job performed more quickly than one installer can reasonably accomplish, in these instances we would bring in another one of our installers. Sometimes a job is really specific or difficult and requires more hands working on it than just one. Sometime the film being used presents it own unique set of challenges and requires more attention as well. All of these are factored into price, and can be discussed with a sales representative prior to committing to a job.

Storage Fee

$30 / DAY
Lettering Express understands schedules can be hectic. Upon completed installation, we will hold your vehicle for one week free of charge. After one week has passed, we charge $30 per day to store your vehicle.

Please make arrangements to have your vehicle picked up promptly.

Dirty Vehicle / Cleaning

$150
To ensure we complete our jobs in a timely manner, we request customers bring their vehicles cleaned and ready to work on. Surfaces should be smooth and dirt free for optimal installation, free of wax and polish. Having a clean, ready-to-go vehicle allows our installation team to begin work immediately rather than spending costly time cleaning the vehicle. Avoid bringing us vehicles covered in dried mud, dirt or glue, since this greatly slows down the installation process. There is a $150 fee for vehicles that require extensive cleaning prior to installation. This fee is to protect all of our customers, preventing one project from slowing down our weekly workflow.

No Show Fee

$50 MINIMUM
We rely on scheduling to make sure all of our customers’ projects get completed in a timely manner. Once an install is scheduled, we depend on our customers to follow through. We allot specific times for projects so that our business runs smoothly. For this reason, missed appointments are major setbacks to our day-to-day operation. We understand things come up, and that’s why we allow customers to cancel or reschedule within two hours of their scheduled install. All fees are based upon overall job length and complexity. This charge will be added to a customer’s invoice/ticket the next time they come on..
