Van Wrap – Marketing with Wild Lime Green

A van wrap can be specifically geared toward promoting a brand or service. This is the most common use of a van wrap. However, this wild lime green creation is not promoting anything but is being used for a commercial purpose. How is that? Well, because it was designed for the sole purpose of generating attention for the dealership that sells commercial vehicles to many different companies. It is sitting in front of their store without promoting the dealership specifically. I have said it many times before but the reason you wrap a vehicle is to generate attention! You can’t miss the bright colors, printed in high definition, on this van wrap! For this design we were asked to create a wild lime green theme that in turn could be utilized by a potential purchaser of the vehicle for their logo and branding over the top of the van wrap. That thought is, of course, a perfect world scenario that would be a bonus for the dealership. It could happen!!! In reality this van wrap will serve to catch the eye of every person driving by the store. By looking over at the van you inevitably take notice of the dealership and other vehicles they have to offer. If you pass this daily on your commute you will begin to know the name of this dealer and you might consider them for your next vehicle purchase. As is the case here your wrapped vehicle can be working for you even when it is parked! Imagine the 70,000 to 100,000 people that would see it if you were using it every day!

Carbon Fiber Wrap- Honda CRV Full Wrap

A Carbon Fiber Wrap will turn heads wherever you go with it’s unique textured pattern and style attitude. Carbon Fiber components are commonly used on professional race car cars of all genres, competition bicycles, all types of helmets and even golf clubs! So here’s the rub, real Carbon Fiber is REAL Expensive!!! We are talking in the thousands here for a single item for your car or truck. This is where a Carbon Fiber Wrap comes into the picture. You can accent specific parts of your car or truck for a fraction of the cost of the real thing and it looks GREAT! There are many companies that manufacture Carbon Fiber Films. In my opinion there are only 2 manufacturers that we will use here at Metroplex Wraps. AVERY and/or 3M. These are top of the line films that are tried and tested. If you want the best result for your Carbon Fiber Wrap then use the best film available!  Shown here is a Honda CRV with a full Carbon Fiber Wrap. We have used 2 different colors here to achieve the finished look. We used 3M 1080 Series Black Carbon Fiber film and 3M Anthracite Carbon Fiber film. The body of the vehicle is wrapped in Black Carbon Fiber and the hood, roof, back and door handles are wrapped in the Anthracite Carbon Fiber. This application will also protect the vehicle’s paint from dirt, small debris and harmful UV rays.  The cool characteristic of this film is that it combines both matte and satin finishes. This is what creates the shimmer effect along with fine metallic flakes in the film. You see it more so on the Anthracite than on the black. Not sure if that is intentional but that is a fact!

Commercial Vehicle Wrap for MFI Flooring, Inc.

We just completed this commercial vehicle wrap for McMahan Flooring, Inc. located in Dallas, TX. They specialize in commercial flooring applications and have decades of flooring experience. This truck came straight from the dealership to our shop as do most of the “fleet driven” companies that we service. Here is why…companies that use a commercial vehicle wrap to grow their business understand just how important it is to wrap every vehicle before they get put into service. A blank company vehicle costs the same to operate as the average commuters vehicle to get from point A to point B. YOU SHOULD WRAP YOUR COMPANY VEHICLES!!! or at least have your logo and contact information on 3 sides (ds,ps and rear). It would cost you $1.48 a day with the average price of a commercial vehicle wrap to be around $2695. A commercial truck wrap will pay for itself very quickly and you will reach tens of thousands of prospective clients and customers every day! Brand recognition is also at work with your commercial vehicle wrap. Your company vehicles will begin to be recognized simply by the color scheme and design of your wrap. This is very powerful marketing that will add to your bottom line. When I see an MFI truck on the road it is unmistakable. I know immediately the name of the company and I am not reading any part of the vehicle. It is all visual recognition! That is what you want. People to know it’s you with a glance. Even if they do not need your service at that very moment you are imprinting your brand and services for their future considerations when the need arises.

Racing Stripes and Rally Stripes add race style attitude!

IMG_0508 IMG_0510Rally Stripes and racing stripes can definitely play a big role in personalizing your car or truck. Vinyl stripes and accents can be a viable option for anyone looking to customize their vehicle without the hassle of paint. Let’s talk about racing stripes as seen on this Dodge Challenger we completed above. Jeremy wanted “Hemi” Orange as the main color with a bold black stripe at the top and a thinner stripe at the bottom giving thiese racing stripes a completely custom look. You may also notice that, at Jeremy’s request, we created a racing stripe that visually eliminated the upward sweeping body line toward the rear of the car. Racing stripes can be designed to follow body lines of the vehicle or create a visual effect that is unique to the owner of the vehicles personal preference as shown above. You also have the option to replace a “factory” graphic utilizing a different color, shape or size. A more common graphic to consider are rally stripes. Traditionally rally stripes are found on muscle cars such as Mustangs, Challengers, Camaros, Chargers and other similar cars in this category. Rally stripes can also be found on your “tuner” class of cars such as Subaru, Mitsubishi, Honda, BMW to name a few. Using rally stripes to personalize your car or truck is one of the fastest methods to achieve a different look and visual feel to your car without changing the existing color of the vehicle. We have a vast array of colors to choose from or let one of our designers dial in just the right look for you!

Box Truck Wrap is a Mobile Billboard!

A box truck wrap is most definitely a mobile billboard. Companies with wrapped vehicles are maximizing their marketing footprint. Some companies could not do what they do without with the use of box trucks and some do not use them, but every company would benefit from a box truck wrap! They are one of the biggest attention generators in traffic and they tower above almost all vehicles on the road. This makes a box truck wrap extremely effective. We just finished the design, print and installation on this box truck for Comfort Zone. Comfort Zone is a subsidiary brand of Foamaster located here in Fort Worth, Texas. Comfort Zone is a spray insulation company with a great reputation with making your home as energy efficient as possible. Homeowners CAN retrofit their homes with more energy efficient insulation.

Wall Mural and Store Front Graphics

Custom wall mural graphics are an extremely effective marketing tool. You will see a wall mural in grocery stores, malls, retail stores, movie theaters and even on the outside of buildings. The visual impact of a well designed wall mural can be breath taking on a large scale and equally impressive in smaller doses. This form of branding and marketing conveys a message of success and forward thinking creativity. If a picture is worth a thousand words then a wall mural speaks very fast! Your prospective clients will get what you are saying instantly with striking imagery. A wall mural from Metroplex Wraps will be custom designed, printed in high definition, installed professionally with your choice of canvas texture, high gloss, satin or matte finish. If a wall mural is not necessary you may want to consider full color graphics for your store front. This would allow your marketing to reach outside your store or office to capture potential business with drive by traffic or pedestrians. One option is a 2 way window film for your store front windows. This allows a full color graphic on the outside with the ability for you to see through it from inside your location. Another added benefit to this application is it acts as a “tint” for the windows and will reduce heat penetration in the summer. You may also want to go with a solid vinyl that simply covers the windows for full impact or you may want some simple full color text with random graphics placed for maximum effect. Whether you are in the market for a wall mural or store front graphics we can help.
