How a Project Runs, Start to Finish
Six steps, the same whether it's one work truck, a storefront window, or a fleet rollout. You see a proof and approve it before anything is printed, and you know what happens next at every stage.
Most quotes go back the same or next business day. No deposit to get a number.
You Don't Need to Have It Figured Out Yet
Plenty of people reach out with nothing more than a truck and an idea. That's a fine place to start. Part of our job is helping you decide what the graphics need to accomplish before anyone talks about materials.
What helps most: a couple of photos of the vehicle or storefront, your logo or brand files if you have them, and a rough sense of budget and timing. If you're missing all three, we'll work from a conversation.
- Photos of the vehicle, storefront, or space
- Logo files (vector preferred), but send whatever you have
- Year, make, model & body style for vehicles
- Any brand standard, panel map, or install guide you were given
- Your date, if the job is tied to an opening or an event
The Six Steps
Same sequence every time. The scale changes; the order doesn't.
Talk It Through
Tell us what you're working with (the vehicle, the storefront, the space), what you want it to do, and roughly when you need it. This can be a call, a text, or the quote form. Photos help more than descriptions do, so send those if you have them.
No obligation and no pressure to decide on the spot. If what you need isn't something we do, we'll say so.
Quote
We walk through coverage options (full wrap, partial, decals, lettering) and the material that fits the job, then send a written quote so you can see what's included before committing to anything.
Quotes are free. If the scope changes later, you get a revised number before any extra work happens.
Design & Proof
We build or refine the artwork to your brand, or work from files your agency or brand already supplied. You get a proof laid out on your actual vehicle body style or surface, not a generic template, so you can see where the logo lands, what the door covers, and how it reads from across a parking lot.
Nothing goes to print until you sign off on the proof.
Materials & Production
Film gets chosen for the surface, the contours, and how hard the vehicle or space actually gets used, including reflective and conspicuity film where it's called for. Then it's printed and prepped for that specific job.
Material choice is a decision, not a default. If a cheaper film is a bad fit for your use case, we'll tell you why.
Scheduling & Install
We schedule around your operations so you're down as little as possible, and stage larger jobs so you're never missing the whole fleet at once. On install day, the work goes into panels, seams, trim, and edges: the parts that decide whether it still looks right in three years.
You'll know the install window before you drop anything off.
Walkthrough & Care
We go over the finished job with you before it goes back to work and cover how to wash and care for it so it holds up. For remote and national accounts, we send photo confirmation of the completed unit instead.
Questions after the fact are still free. Call us.
The Same Process, Documented for Remote Approval
When the person approving the job is three states away, the process doesn't change. The reporting does. We work from supplied print files, panel maps, install guides, and brand standards, confirm anything ambiguous before we start instead of guessing, and send photo confirmation on completed units.
Multi-unit rollouts get staged scheduling so the fleet keeps running while it gets updated, and one point of contact the whole way through.
- Work to supplied brand standards and placement specs
- Ambiguities flagged before install, not after
- Photo confirmation on completed units
- Staged scheduling across multi-unit programs
- One direct point of contact from PO to sign-off
Questions People Ask Before Starting
How long does a wrap take?
Generally about 5–7 business days from artwork approval through production and install. That's a typical, not a promise. The biggest variable is scheduling, and a set of door decals and a full box truck wrap are not the same job. You'll get a realistic window with your quote.
How long will my vehicle be out of service?
We ask for the vehicle for up to 3 days. Some jobs come in under that; we'd rather ask for the room and give it back early than rush the install or hand you a vehicle before the material has set.
How many vehicles can you do at once?
Typically 2–3 full-size vehicles a week (vans, box trucks, pickups), with partial wraps, decal packages, and flatwork like trailers running alongside them. For a multi-vehicle rollout we stage the schedule so you're never missing the whole fleet at once.
How far will you travel for an on-site install?
Roughly 1.5–2 hours from Madison for on-site work, with exceptions for the right project. Ask. We'd rather quote it honestly than overcommit and miss.
Can I supply my own design?
Yes. We regularly install from customer-, agency-, and brand-supplied files. Send what you have and we'll tell you whether it's print-ready or what needs adjusting. Vector artwork and correct bleed save the most time.
What if I don't have a logo yet?
Then start there rather than wrapping around a placeholder. We do logo and brand identity work priced per project, and the wrap gets built from that.
How many rounds of revisions do I get?
The number of included revision rounds is written into your quote so it isn't a surprise later. Most projects settle well inside it.
What can push a timeline back?
Usually one of four things: artwork approval taking longer than expected, material lead time on a specific film or color, vehicle availability, or weather on outdoor and storefront installs where temperature affects how the film behaves.
Do you do install-only work?
Yes, install-only is a core part of the business for national brands, agencies, and resellers who have graphics printed elsewhere and need a qualified installer in North Alabama.
