Introduction
When branding your business vehicle, you have two main options: a full van wrap or a custom paint job. While both can transform the look of your van, a modular van wrap offers a range of advantages that make it the superior choice for most businesses. In this post, we’ll compare van wraps vs. paint and explain why wrapping your van is the best investment.
Cost Comparison: Van Wraps vs. Paint
A high-quality paint job for a van can cost anywhere from £2,000 to £5,000+, depending on the level of detail and customisation required. In contrast, a full modular van wrap cost is significantly more affordable:
- SWB (Short Wheelbase): £995 + VAT
- MWB (Medium Wheelbase): £1,295 + VAT
- LWB (Long Wheelbase): £1,495 + VAT
- XLWB (Extra Long Wheelbase): £1,795 + VAT
Not only does a van wrap provide a more cost-effective solution, but it also allows for more design flexibility than traditional paint.
Durability and Longevity
A high-quality modular wrap lasts up to 7 years, thanks to our use of premium polymeric vinyl. In contrast, paint jobs can fade, chip, or scratch over time, especially if not properly maintained. The protective vinyl layer of a wrap shields your van’s original paintwork from minor damage, preserving its resale value. This makes van wraps a solid investment for maintaining the vehicle’s appearance.
Time Required for Application
A professional paint job can take weeks to complete, leaving your van off the road and losing business. With our modular wrap system, we can have your wrap installed in just 3-8 hours, and the full process from enquiry to fitting takes only 1 week. This makes the convenience of modular wraps hard to beat.
Design Options: Wraps Offer More Creativity
With a wrap, you’re not limited to solid colours. You can include custom branding, logos, contact details and even eye-catching graphics that wouldn’t be possible with paint. A wrap allows for full design flexibility, so you can update your branding as your business grows and can easily incorporate van wraps into your marketing strategy.
Removability: Why a Wrap is a Smarter Choice
One major advantage of a van wrap over paint is that it’s removable. If you decide to rebrand, sell your vehicle, or update your design, you can simply remove the wrap without damaging the original paintwork. With paint, any changes require another expensive respray.
Which Option is Right for You?
For most businesses, a wrap is the clear winner over paint. It’s more affordable, longer-lasting, quicker to install, and offers greater design flexibility. Whether you’re a tradesperson, courier, or any mobile business, van wraps turn your vehicle into a powerful marketing tool while protecting its value.
