Commercial Cargo Vans are the most popular form of vehicle graphics advertising. They offer the perfect size of billboard. Vans are not as big as box trucks and therefore more economical in price to design and wrap with graphics. At the same time, they offer a better advertising space than pickup trucks. In our years of experience in wrap advertising we have definitely wrapped more vans than pickups.

Most service companies own vans that they use for deliveries or providing some kind of service to their customers. Air conditioning, plumbing, heating, electrical, industrial / retail supply companies etc. all use cargo vans for their day to day work. These companies can use the blank white space on their vans to promote their company, brand and products. In the past, advertising decals were very expensive and so only the big corporations used to have vehicle graphics on their vans and other fleet vehicles. But today, with the advancement in technology, the price of van graphics are highly affordable. Most of our customers today are small businesses that are using this new advertising medium to brand their company.

Any part of a van can be wrapped: the hood, the sides, the driver’s doors, or the entire van. Panel vans without windows are the most commonly wrapped vehicles; however, customers in transportation / hospitality business often have passenger vans with side windows that they wrap with cool graphics

There are three main Graphics options available for Vans

1. Vinyl Graphics / Decals
   This usually includes company logo, phone numbers, website, and a few bullet points about the company’s products on the vehicles doors. Sometimes the text/ logo design also extend on the side panels and back doors. (Click here to download our complete price list. For a custom quote click here)
   
   
   
2. Partial Vehicle Graphics
   
   This is an affordable option that covers part of the vehicle body with decals, lettering and product pictures. Because the vehicle body is only partially covered, the overall cost of the graphics is much lower than a full wrap. With a partial wrap usually 25% to 50% of the vehicle is covered with a combination of vinyl text, pictures and logos. Spot graphics/ pictures are used towards the back portion of the pickup to create an appealing theme for the pickup. You can also include product shots, imagery, brochure covers and full color logos to get your message across.
   
   
   When designed effectively, this option yields the same results as a full wrap, for just 40% to 60% of a full
   wrap price.
   
   
   
3. Full Vehicle Wraps
   This option provides complete coverage on the vehicle. The entire sides, front, back and hood of your vehicle are wrapped with full color digital graphics with a premium 3M graphics vinyl material. The windows are also covered with graphics using a perforated material. Thus the entire vehicle is designed to act as a full color billboard.
   
   Full Wrap graphics on vehicles are becoming more and more affordable. With the cost of highway billboards rising and most billboards costing between $3500 and $5000 a month in rent, vehicle graphics are proving an extremely cost effective/ rent-free alternative.

Features / Price Benefits of Vehicle Graphics

• COST EFFECTIVE: Because of their rent-free nature, vehicle graphics are a one-time advertisement expense. After an initial investment in the graphics, most graphics last for 4-5 years, thus providing a continued rent-free advertisement for an average of 48 – 60 months
  
  Let's compare the costs of various advertising media:
  
  • Billboard Sign = $3500+ per month
  • Yellow Page Ad = $300+ per month
  • Full Vehicle Wrap = Less than $75 per month (e.g. $3000 for a
  full wrap on a cargo van that will last for 3+ Years)
  • Partial Vehicle Graphics = Less than $20 per month (e.g. $800 -
  $1300 for partial graphics on a cargo van that will last for 3+ Years)
  • Basic Vehicle Graphics = Less than $5 per month (e.g. $200 -
  $400 for Logo and company info on a cargo van that will last for 5+ Years)
  
  Note that vehicle graphics provide a moving billboard that advertises even when the vehicle is in a parking lot. Plus, customers do not search for you like they do in a yellow book; they find you because they see you driving on the road every day.
