We understand that you may have some questions about our services, so we've compiled a list of the most frequent questions we get about vinyl wraps.
-
What is the advantage for print on demand compared to other sites that sell ready-made vinyl?
We print our vinyl at the time you place the order to ensure that you are receiving the highest quality vinyl product for your install. You will never see us having a sale on vinyl because it has been sitting on a shelf for an extended period of time (something you should be aware of when browsing other sites).
Another advantage to our process of print on demand allows us to offer designs and colors not found anywhere else. Additionally, this allows for us to constantly be adding new product to our catalog.
One of the most important advantages however is credited to the fact that we ONLY print on the highest quality 3M and AVERY vinyl. A vast majority of other vinyl wrap suppliers only offer cheap chinese brand films that have short shelf lives and tend to be more prone to damaging paint upon removal. These companies tend to have more color options, sure, but that doesn’t make it worth while when the end product lasts 8-10 months before it starts to fade, crack and fail. Our solution was to create as many color options possible to give the end-user everything they are looking for and more in a vinyl product without sacrificing quality!

What is a full vehicle wrap?
A full wrap in most cases includes both sides, the hood, and the rear of any vehicle. If warranted, all applicable and necessary windows will be wrapped in a see through perforated window film. Customers always have the option of adding the roof, bumpers, and mirrors if not already included in the wrap. Full wraps do tend to be the most effective advertising option when it comes to vehicle graphics.
-
What is a partial vehicle wrap?
A partial wrap is anything digitally printed less than a full wrap. For example, on pickup trucks the most common partial wrap is all the way down the side of the truck, below the windows, and includes the tailgate.
These types of wraps offer a more affordable solution to those customers who may not have it in their budget to do a full wrap, or maybe have multiple vehicles in their fleet that they wish do have vehicle graphics put on for advertising. There are endless possibilities and options for partial wraps, and each clients needs may be unique. In most cases we at 1DayWraps can integrate the color of the vehicle into the actual wrap to give the partial wrap the effect of being a complete wrap.
Partial wraps are equally effective and just as attractive as full wraps when our professional artists and installers are working on your project.
-
What are spot graphics?
Spot graphics are the most affordable solution to advertising on your vehicle or fleet of vehicles. Effective and simple, strategically placed logos, phone numbers, and descriptive verbiage itemizing your companies services will still successfully convey what you are trying to get across to the end-user.
Most spot graphics jobs start as low as $100 and end up being less than $1000 on average.
With the professional staff at 1DayWraps., we will ensure successful placement of your graphics in order to successfully get the attention of your target demographic, on time, and on budget!

My order is placed, when can I expect it at my doorstep?
At 1daywraps, we print everything at the time the order is placed. This insures that the product you are receiving is fresh and not something that has been sitting on the shelf for weeks, months or years. Our aim is to have everything in your hands within 3-7 business days from the time your order is placed. However, if there is an emergency and you need something quicker, please do not hesitate to call us. We are here for you!
-
How long will my wrap last?
Realistically, vinyl wraps usually last 3-5 years if properly maintained. Keep it out of the sun as much as possible, keep a uv-protective coat on it, and treat it well. Certain spots on your vehicle will last longer than others, the first to go is usually the hood and roof as they are directly facing the sun. Matte wraps last 1.5-3 years and satin about 2.5 - 3 years. Regardless of finish, it is not uncommon for hoods roofs and other horizontal surfaces to last less than the vertical panels.
-
What do I need to do before my vehicle gets wrapped?
Before you bring in your vehicle to get wrapped, please wash it, sand any spots where the paint or clear coat is failing, and seal off any rust spots. We can do all of these for you, but if you want to save yourself some money, you can do it yourself beforehand.
-
What finishes are available?
We offer gloss, satin and matte finishes for most printed vehicle wraps and colors.
-
What is your return policy?
Because we print everything custom and per each order, we do not allow for returns. We do recommend you order a sample before placing an order if you are on the fence about the pattern or color of wrap vinyl you are choosing. Colors will vary slightly from computer screen to printed product, and may look different shades on different devices.

Why would I wrap my car and not have it painted?
There are some definite benefits to wrapping over painting, and here are a few:
• Down time: Most wraps are installed in only 1 day, professionally applied paint jobs typically require 2-5 weeks of down time.
• Cost: Matte wrap vehicle graphics are considerably less costly than a comparable professionally applied matte paint job.
• Protection: Vehicle wraps professionally applied by our staff at 1daywraps.com effectively protect your OEM paint and are 100% removable.
• Make that car look brand new: Our matte and gloss wraps cover up all those hideous swirls and surface scratches, giving your vehicle that new car look. Damage a wrapped fender, or any other body panel, and we at 1daywraps.com can simply remove and re-wrap that one panel and get you back on the road in style.
• Resale: When you custom paint your vehicle, you immediately limit who you can sale your car to when you want to get something new. With a vehicle wrap, you simply remove the wrap, 99.9% of the time without any damage to the factory paint, and are able to sale that vehicle to the mass public more easily.
• Lifespan: When properly cared for, wraps may outlast even the best paint jobs. We recommend waxing your wraps to prolong it’s life, and even have customers who buff their wraps to bring out that gloss.
• Choices: Like paint, most colors are an option, for either matte finish, or gloss. However, unlike paint, we at 1daywraps.com are able to print any texture, or background image you may desire, without the insanely expensive cost of a professional airbrush artist to personalize your paint job.

What are the differences between metallic and solid colors?
Solid colors are printed on white vinyl, as opposed to metallic colors which are printed on a silver metallic 3M wrap vinyl giving the colors even more depth and that metallic paint job appearance. Both are equally impressive, and all of them are laminated in your choice of gloss, satin or matte laminates.
