bold vinyl graphics on SUV wrap designed and installed by Signs for SuccessThese bold vinyl graphics make a huge statement.  It may be simple, but this giant vinyl lettering placed at an angle is both eye catching and easy to read – two major components of a successful vehicle wrap.  Considered a partial wrap, this design is also cost-effective.  It delivers impact without literally covering the entire vehicle, saving in material and installation time.

Vehicle graphics get the biggest bang for your advertising buck.  They work 24/7 and get seen all over town.  Make a good impression with modern, bold vinyl graphics.  Our design team can work with you to create a one-of-a-kind vehicle wrap design that represents your business on the road.

Whether you drive a compact car, a semi truck, or anything in between, our custom wraps are designed from scratch.  We start with measurements and photos of the vehicle(s) which are then used to create a custom template.  This ensures all graphics get the best placement and coverage on your specific vehicle.  We send design proofs for approval, which may include color tests if we are matching an exact logo or pantone color.  Then it’s off to printing and installation.  Every step of the process is done in-house at our facility where we can guarantee the quality of our work.

Bold vinyl graphics:

  • Make an impact

Vehicle Wrap Installation Simplified with Knifeless Tape

Vehicle wrap installation is one of our specialties. Ever since we saw this tool at the Las Vegas trade show in the summer of 2012, it’s been a permanent addition to our installer’s tool kit.  Knifeless tape is an answer to a challenge that all vehicle wrap installation installers face: cutting on paint.  The Knifeless Tech System not only makes installation safer and more accurate, but it also saves time, therefore saving both the installer and customer money.  Here are 3 reasons why we love using knifeless tape:

  1. 1. Knifeless tape replaces the need to use a blade directly on a vehicle when doing a full or partial vehicle wrap installation.  “Traditionally, you would have to use a blade to contour cut vinyl along body lines.  The knifeless tape eliminates the possibility of cutting the vinyl too deep and scratching the paint,” Signs for Success Vehicle Wrap Installer Rich Wilke explained.

Knifeless tape has a high strength filament, or thread, embedded in the center of the tape.  To use the tape, you apply the tape directly to the vehicle where cuts will be made, then apply the vinyl graphics on top.  After the vinyl is applied, pulling the filament will create a perfect, smooth cut.

  1. Knifeless tape also allows for less error in cut lines.  “If you use a blade, you might get a little wiggle in your line,” Rich said.  3M says of their product, “The tape is extremely flexible and turns smoothly in any direction, conforming to even the tightest contours and edges of any surface it is applied to.  It can also be pulled straight, creating precise cut lines.”  It also makes matching body lines simple since you see the line before you actually cut.  If the line looks a little off, simply pull up the tape and reposition.  Any excess tape removes cleanly after the filament is pulled.
  2. Signs for Success Installer Chris Komski noted another benefit of using knifeless tape.  When doing an overlap, if you use a blade and cut too deep, you cut both layers.  Over time, the bottom layer will separate, revealing the body paint color underneath.  Using knifeless tape will cut only the top layer, keeping overlapping layers overlapped, making your vehicle wrap installation look better and last longer.

“We use knifeless tape whenever we can.  We used it on a motorcycle wrap and a boat wrap just last week,” Signs for Success Production Manager Denise Gillit said.  Bottom line, knifeless tape alleviates the need to use a knife directly on a vehicle wrap installation; it makes an install safe, fast and more accurate which translates to a better looking vehicle wrap at a better price!

Food Truck Wrap for Big Cheesy

Food Truck Wrap for Big Cheesy

/in , , , , /by

Food Truck Wrap for Big CheesyThis custom designed food truck wrap is majorly cheesy.

The wrap covers sides, hood and even the vent on top with tantalizing cheese graphics.  A food truck wrap gets your business noticed on the road and at stops like fairs and festivals.  Some popular wrap graphics include name and logo, the menu, images of food, or other related theme.  One food truck used a patriotic theme with all-over fireworks for a festive summer touch.

The Big Cheesy Gourmet Grill wrap has a relevant, yellow and black drippy cheese theme.  The wrap graphics also complement the yellow paint color of the food truck, increasing the impact of this food truck wrap.  When we don’t cover the entire vehicle surface, it’s called a partial wrap.  With partial wraps, we do our best to give the same impression as a full wrap by coordinating with, or fading into the original vehicle paint color.

A custom food truck wrap:

  • Gets noticed on the road and at events
  • Builds recognition
  • Lasts 5-7 years
  • Is easily removable when it’s time to replace graphics or update menu
  • May cause drooling

Signs for Success is a locally owned family business in Spokane, and we strive for excellent customer service, perfect color, and quick turnaround on every project.  Our large production facility allows us to design, print and install everything in-house.  Get quality service and a quick turnaround on a food truck wrap; contact us for a free quote today!

Custom Matte White Rally Stripes on Vintage show car

Custom Matte White Rally Stripes

/in , , , /by

Custom Matte White Rally Stripes on Vintage show carCustom matte white rally stripes add a custom touch to an already impressive vintage hotrod.  The customer has a several-thousand dollar pearlescent paint job and needed the perfect finishing touch for his car.  We used matte white color change film for the stripes.  The custom rally stripes complement the styling of this one of a kind car.

“There was a concave curve right on the tip of the hood.  If you flipped the hood upside down it would be a boat,” Signs for Success designer Will Oakley said. The contours of the vehicle made positioning the stripes difficult.  “You can’t just cut straight stripes and put them on the hood,” Will explained.  “You have to make it visually straight.”

Installing Custom Matte White Rally Stripes

Will and our certified wrap installers worked on installing the stripes for a good day.  They created custom jigs to help in the placement.  Then they applied knifeless tape to the vehicle and repositioned it until the lines were perfect.  “You can’t go off of physical measurements.  The stripes get closer as you get to the end of the hood, but it looks visually straight,” Will explained.  Once the knifeless tape was positioned, they applied the vinyl and pulled the tape to create perfect lines.  By using custom jigs and knifeless tape, they were able to achieve visually straight rally stripes.Knifeless tape to make perfect pin stripes

“The gentleman is in a car club, and his friends were all envious of his new stripes,” Will said.  If you’re ready for a new look, try custom matte white rally stripes!
