    Everyone is enamored by the look of a full vehicle wrap and they are certainly cost-effective, but what about the small businesses that just can’t afford it. Well, a good alternative is a partial wrap or using your existing vehicle color as a background and making a wrap effect with individual graphics. Printed graphics can be contour cut and applied and then accented by cut vinyl for phone numbers and simple graphics. Prices are generally calculated per graphic & size, so ask your local sign shop questions and be creative!

    Cast vinyl is the best choice for long-term graphics and lettering, as well as signage that will be exposed to consistent direct sunlight and harsh elements. It generally is rated for 8-10 years. As with any vinyl, environment plays a large role in its lifespan. For printed long-term graphics overlaminating is a must.

    Calendared vinyl is a good choice for projects such as banners, yard signs, and other basic short to mid-term graphics. Many intermediate calendared vinyls carry a rating of 5-7 years. But, you should keep in mind that these figures can vary dramatically based on environment. We generally do not use calendered vinyl on exterior signs that are expected to last over 3 years. And, over time, calendered vinyls begin to shrink slightly. For long-term graphics that can spell disaster!
