What is a Modular Vehicle Wrap?

In this guide, we’ll show you how our modular wraps are 50% cheaper and 75% faster to install compared to traditional wraps, providing a smarter, more cost-effective solution. Click through the sections as we walk you through the process of our modular vehicle wraps.

UNDERSTANDING

THE DIFFERENCE

This page is designed to teach you the key differences between traditional vehicle wraps and modular wraps. It should take around 5 minutes to read, and by the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of why our modular approach is a better, more cost-effective solution.

Alternatively, if you prefer learning through video, watch this short video that explains everything covered on this page in a quick, easy-to-digest format. 

- 3D SCANNING

We start the process with an accurate 3D scan of the vehicle, using cutting-edge technology to capture every curve, edge, and contour. This creates a digital blueprint that allows us to design a perfect wrap that fits seamlessly, eliminating guesswork and ensuring millimetre-perfect design placement. Additionally, we have an extensive library of pre-scanned vehicles dating back to 2013, enabling us to quickly create the ideal wrap for a wide range of models.

- CUTTING

Once the 3D scan data is gathered, we use our advanced Zünd digital cutting machine to precisely cut each individual panel. The cutting system allows us to map out and cut each section of the wrap with pinpoint accuracy, ensuring a perfect fit and creating the modular sections. This approach is far more efficient than traditional wraps, as it significantly reduces waste and production time.

- PRINT

All of our wraps are digitally printed using high-quality HP Latex printers. HP Latex ink provides vibrant, eco-friendly, water-based colours that are both durable and long-lasting. Once printed, we apply a protective lamination layer in your choice of Gloss, Satin, or Matt finish. We recommend the Matt finish for a sleek and modern look, which also reduces glare while protecting your wrap from UV rays and scratches.

- FAILURES

Traditional wraps rely on stretching vinyl to fit over the vehicle, especially in areas like recesses and contours. This process often leads to the wrap failing in these areas over time as the stretched vinyl cracks, peels, or lifts. The stretching process can compromise the overall durability of the wrap, particularly where there is a lot of stress, like around recessed areas and sharp edges.

- BENEFITS

With a modular wrap, we take a completely different approach. Instead of stretching the vinyl, we cut each individual panel to fit the vehicle perfectly. This results in several key advantages:

  • No stretching or heat-shrinking required, eliminating the risk of peeling or cracking in recess areas.
  • A clean, professional finish with a 3-4mm gap where the original paintwork shows through.
  • Durability is increased as the wrap fits more securely, especially around high-stress areas that traditional wraps struggle with.
  • Less material waste and quicker installation times.
- MATERIAL

We use MetaMark Polymeric Air Release Vinyl, which is rated for 7 years of exterior life. This high-quality material ensures a durable, long-lasting wrap that will withstand the elements. Our wraps are printed with HP Latex ink, which is eco-friendly and provides vibrant colours. After printing, a protective lamination layer is applied in one of three finishes: Gloss, Matt (our recommendation), or Satin. This lamination adds extra protection against scratches, UV rays, and everyday wear.

- INSTALLATION

One of the biggest benefits of modular wraps is the speed of installation. Since we are applying individual panels instead of one large sheet, the wrap is easier to handle and more efficient to install. This results in a faster turnaround time when compared to traditional wraps. What would take days with a traditional wrap can often be completed in a fraction of the time, meaning less downtime for your vehicle.

- COST

Modular wraps are produced in individual panels, reducing material costs and shortening installation time, making the overall cost more affordable than a traditional wrap. Despite being more cost-effective, our modular wraps still provide a high-quality finish that rivals any traditional wrap. The savings come from the more efficient production and installation process—not from cutting corners on quality.

- MAINTENANCE

Once your modular wrap is installed, we provide you with an aftercare guide to ensure your wrap stays in great condition. With proper care, your wrap will look fantastic for years to come, maintaining its vibrant colours and professional appearance.

- CONCLUSION

After learning about the process, materials, and benefits, it’s clear that modular wraps offer a smarter, more efficient, and more cost-effective solution for vehicle branding. Whether you’re looking for a faster installation time, a more durable wrap, or simply a professional finish at a fraction of the cost of traditional wraps, modular wraps deliver on all fronts.
