Top 5 Film Factors to Consider When Wrapping Your Fleet

By taking the five factors discussed below into consideration and working with your graphic film converter, you will be able to identify the right film for your wrap and ensure that you are providing the proper care to maintain the wrap’s condition and maximise your return on investment.

High-quality graphic films will stand the test of time in a variety of climates. However, not all films are built to withstand rigorous road conditions. A key determinant of a fleet wrap’s longevity is the durability of the film. The durability of a vinyl or non-vinyl wrap refers to its strength against elements such as weathering and other outdoor exposures. Lesser-quality films are more likely to fail under harsh outdoor conditions over a shorter period.

In graphic film installation, simplicity and precision can save time and, in turn, increase your bottom line. Premium films equipped with superior air release capabilities and optimal slide ability make installation easy and minimise bubbles and other errors. Quick wrap installations also increase operational efficiency by decreasing fleet or vehicle downtime.

Maintaining a graphic film is largely dependent on proper cleaning and care practices. Keep your fleet graphics in good condition by washing them regularly. Contaminants allowed to remain on the graphic may become more difficult to remove during cleaning. Graphic films can be cleaned by hand or by using pressure washes and automated washes. If your semi-truck graphics need to be repaired due to normal roadway wear and tear, typically graphic panels can be easily replaced without the need for replacing the entire graphic.
