Truck Sign Writing Leeds
Wrapping your truck is a great way to promote your business services and products. Given that your truck is seen by thousands of people on the road on a daily basis, it is the prime location.
Introduction to: Truck Branding
Wrapping your truck is a great was to passively promote and advertise your brand. If it’s transporting goods or is on a construction site, your name is out there making anyone who sees it a potential customer. With such a large surface area, you have the potential to play around with the design, if done right, we believe this can increase leads for a very little initial investment.
Part cab wraps: Just having brand livery as cut graphics on the cab can be a cost effective way of representing the business without the cost of wrapping the whole cab. Using light reflective vinyl for the sign writing (wording and logos) can be a great way to make it stand out on the road, especially if the vehicle is used at night.
Full cab wraps: If you want to make a statement, then wrapping the whole cab will really catch the eye. Either a bright colour or fully printed design will set you apart. Printed wraps are increasing in popularity due to the fact that it is bespoke to the client and therefore sets you apart from the hundreds of other trucks on the road.
Both methods would work to give your truck a new lease of life and allow for effective marketing space.

Our Truck Sign Writing Process
We have a proven process in place to help you brand your truck. Having dedicated teams in each area to give you a smooth and stress free experience.
1 | Design
Our experienced in-house design team will arrange a meeting with you to gain information on the type of truck you have. We will then discuss what you are wanting to achieve, bearing in mind your budget. We can then create a Photoshop visual showing what your truck could potentially look like. Once the design is finalised, it is then sent to our production team.
2 | Production
Our in-house production team will take your final design and begin to print/ cut the vinyl utilising our state of the art equipment. With industry leading print quality thanks to our Epson SureColor SC-280600, you can have the confidence that you will receive the most accurate print.
3 | Application
Our vehicle wrapping team will now begin to prep your truck, giving it a wash to remove any dirt or debris to allow for easy application. The vinyl is lined up using laser alignment to ensure all text/ graphics are straight. Once we are happy everything is lined up and is correct to the visual, the team begin to apply the vinyl to the truck.
4 | Final Touches
The truck is then checked all around to ensure the design is correct to the visual and fitting quality is up to standard. If any issues do arise, we will re-print and amend as necessary. Once our workshop manager is happy, it is polished and taken out ready for collection.

-
How to wrap a truck?
Our fitters apply the vinyl in panels and sections to make application smooth, starting in the middle and applying the vinyl out ensuring there are no bubbles. Using laser alignment technology to confirm the design is in level and straight. Larger trucks will need a scaffold around so fitters can reach the taller surfaces.
-
How long does it take to wrap a truck?
We would like the truck in our workshop for a minimum of 2 days as in most cases we need to check measurements and prep the vehicle before we can apply the vinyl. If we are conducting a full truck wrap, this will take 5 working days due to the stripping down of the body panels.
-
Can I take the wrap off my truck when I sell it?
Absolutely, providing we know the vinyl applied to the truck, we can remove the full wrap revealing its factory paint beneath. This is perfect if you have leased the truck and only plan on keeping it for a few years.
