What Is lorry wrapping?: Process, Advantages, and Types

When a business adds graphics to its vehicle for marketing, promotion, or advertising, it’s known as a commercial wrap. Vehicle wraps are a powerful marketing tool that enhances visibility and acts as a mobile billboard. They help you reach more potential customers while you go about your daily business.

We create custom lorry wraps designed to make your vehicle stand out and surpass your competition. With our expertise in lorry wrapping in Hertfordshire, your vehicle becomes a powerful mobile marketing tool. This article explores what lorry wrapping is, how it works, and its benefits and applications.

What Is Lorry Wrapping?

Lorry wrapping is the process of wrapping all or part of a truck with vinyl in the same way that vehicle wraps are applied to cars and trucks. That is why such terms as vehicle wraps, car wraps, and lorry wraps are used interchangeably, which makes it rather challenging to be precise with your requirements.

There are various types of wraps in terms of material, price, and style, and thus, knowing your choices will help you decide. Since lorries are of different types (for example, box lorries, flatbeds, utility vehicles), it is important to give particulars of your lorry including make, model, wheelbase, and dimensions. Pictures of your lorry are also helpful to check the fitting and to count the time of installation more accurately.

5-Step Lorry Wrapping Process

At Herts Signs, we excel in lorry wrapping and vehicle graphics, ensuring your brand stands out with exceptional quality and precision. Our comprehensive approach includes expert signage design in Hertfordshire to enhance every aspect of your visual marketing. Here’s a glimpse into our 5-step lorry wrapping process:

Graphic Design

We start by creating a design that matches your brand and fits your lorry. Our designers work with you to develop a customized wrap, whether you want something bold with contact details or a clean, minimalist look.

Printing & Production

Once the design is approved, it’s printed on high-quality vinyl using advanced technology. We use durable cast vinyl and top brands like Avery Dennison and 3M. Your wrap is then laminated with your choice of gloss, satin, or matte finish.

Vehicle Prep & Cleaning

When you bring your lorry to our Hertfordshire facility, we thoroughly clean it to remove all debris, wax, and dust, ensuring the wrap sticks properly.

Wrap Application

Our team applies the wrap with precision, using tools to smooth out the vinyl and remove bubbles. A heat gun is used to ensure a strong bond and perfect fit. The process is quick, and usually completed in a few hours.

Post-Wrap Detail and Clean

After application, we inspect the wrap to ensure it meets our high standards. We give the lorry a wrap-friendly wash, so it’s polished and ready to impress on the road.

The Advantages of Vehicle Wrapping

  • Fleet graphics offer ongoing advertising at a low cost.
  • Wrapping a vehicle enhances a company’s branding and identity.
  • Traditional newspaper and television advertisements reach a smaller audience.
  • Vehicle wraps present a unique concept that visually appeals to the target market.
  • They provide exclusivity, avoiding shared space with other advertisers in promotional mailers or on billboards with rotating ads.
  • Vehicle wraps increase consumer awareness of your company’s brand, products, and services.
  • They have a strong “referral” effect and can be easily modified to target specific groups.
  • They protect the vehicle’s finish and can be removed at any time.
  • Cost is not a barrier.

Types of Custom Truck Wraps

Full Truck Wraps:

These cover the entire truck, making it very noticeable and great for advertising. They also protect the original paint but are the most expensive option and may not fit every truck style.

Partial Truck Wraps:

These cover 30% to 70% of the truck. They are less expensive than full wraps and still effective at advertising, especially for trucks with complex designs.

Lettering and Decals:

These are a budget-friendly way to add your logo, services, and contact info to your truck. They are simple to apply and work well on any vehicle.
