Buses are often used as an advertising tool. They offer a considerable amount of unused space, and with a custom bus wrap, both private companies and local municipalities have an opportunity to create or sell space by covering them in custom vinyl. These vinyl wraps look like paint, and can be printed with almost any design or graphic to transform the look of the bus. With over 30 years of experience in the signage industry,

In addition to full and partial wraps, it is also possible to create decals and lettering, such as DOT signs, from vinyl film. These can be used for either advertising purposes or to meet regulations put forth by the Department of Transportation.
When the vinyl vehicle film has been printed and cut to size for your vehicle model, it can be applied. Bus wraps are self-adhering due to the adhesive backing on the film that requires only pressure to activate it. The wrap is applied by positioning it, starting with an edge or corner, and working slowly across the vehicle. A small squeegee is used to force out any air bubbles throughout the process which escapes through built in air release channels.
Window vinyl use a βwet methodβ application process that includes moistening both the window and the vinyl. The vinyl is positioned and given time to dry, at which point the adhesive seals it to the glass.
Both methods can require a few days of installation time, especially for larger buses. However, once installed, graphics can last for up to 5 years and are resistant to typical weather conditions, as well as the alkalis and acids present in pollution.
It is also possible to create shorter term use temporary bus wraps that will be installed for only a few weeks or months. These can be easily removed when no longer needed.
AdvertisingΒ – Buses are often one of the largest vehicles on the road. When their large scale and mobility are coupled with full color designs, they provide easily noticed advertising that can generate revenue.
Brand Recognition for PassengersΒ – A bus with your companyβs name, colors, and logo on it makes it easy for customers to identify. This can make it reassuring and professional for passengers.
ReplaceableΒ – Instead of permanent paint, vinyl wraps can be removed and replaced when needed. This makes it possible to update vehicles as needed.
Protects BusΒ – A vinyl wrap can extend the lifespan of the bus by protecting the paint from sun, rain, rust, scratches, and other sources of discoloration and damage.
