Service vans
Tall, flat sides make vans the most useful canvas in most fleets. Room for a large logo, a clear service line and a phone number readable from the next lane.

Vehicle Wraps and Fleet Graphics That Work Every Mile
Your van sits in a customer's driveway, idles at lights on I-35E and parks outside job sites all day. Every one of those minutes is advertising, but only if the vehicle says who you are. We design, print and install full wraps, partial wraps and lettering for single vehicles and whole fleets across Dallas Fort Worth.
What is a vehicle wrap?
A vehicle wrap is printed vinyl film applied over a vehicle's paint. A full wrap covers most or all of the painted surface. A partial wrap covers selected panels and lets the paint color finish the design. Decals and lettering add a name, logo and phone number. Wraps can be removed later, which makes them practical for leased vehicles and changing brands.

Why wrap
A sign that goes where your customers are.
A building sign waits for people to pass. A wrapped vehicle goes to them: into neighborhoods, onto the highway and into the parking lots of the businesses you serve. It works while parked on a job and while stuck in traffic.
The catch is time. People see a vehicle for a few seconds, often at speed. A wrap that works says three things fast: who you are, what you do and how to reach you. Everything else is supporting detail.
- Name and service readable at a glance
- Phone number or web address sized for the road
- Brand colors consistent with your other signs
- Layout planned around doors, handles and seams
Coverage
Full wrap, partial wrap or lettering?
How much of the vehicle you cover sets the look, the budget and how much the paint color matters.
| Compare | Full wrap | Partial wrap | Decals and lettering |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Most or all painted surfaces | Selected panels, often the sides and rear | Logo, name and contact details only |
| Look | A complete color change with edge-to-edge graphics | Graphics that blend into the paint color | Clean and simple on the factory paint |
| Paint color | Hidden under the film | Part of the design | The background |
| Best fit | Photo-heavy brands, launches and maximum impact | Strong branding on a white or brand-colored vehicle | Large fleets, work trucks and simple identification |
| Changing it later | Remove and rewrap | Remove or update individual panels | Replace individual decals |
Many fleets mix all three: a full wrap on the vehicle customers see most and lettering on the rest, all drawn from one design.
Vehicles
From compact cars to box trucks and trailers.
Every body style has its own flat areas, curves and obstacles. The design starts with the vehicle, not the logo.
Pickup trucks
Doors, bed sides and tailgate carry the brand. Partial wraps and lettering are common here, working around racks, toolboxes and bed covers.
Box trucks and trailers
The largest flat panels on the road. Big enough for full product photography, readable from well down the street and often parked where people gather.
Cars and compact vehicles
Curves and small panels call for bold, simple graphics. A good fit for sales teams, agents and anyone who meets clients on the go.
Fleet graphics
One brand across every vehicle in the fleet.
Fleets rarely arrive all at once, and rarely match. Consistency comes from planning the system, not wrapping one truck at a time.
01
One master design
A single approved layout, adapted to each make and model so the logo and contact details land in the same places on every vehicle.
02
Templates and measurements
Designs are drawn on vehicle templates and checked against the real vehicles, including shelving, ladder racks and body modifications.
03
Consistent color
Artwork is kept on file and printed from the same approved source, so new vehicles stay in step with the rest of the fleet.
04
Unit numbers and markings
Unit numbers and any markings your operation needs are placed in the same position on every vehicle, from details you supply.
05
Brand approval
Proofs go to your marketing, franchise or brand team for sign-off before anything is printed.
06
Staged rollouts
Vehicles can be wrapped in groups as they come off the road, so the fleet keeps working while it changes over.
Match the van to the storefront.
The same approved artwork can dress your window and door glass, so customers recognize you on the road and at the door.
Installation and care
Clean prep, careful application, simple upkeep.
A wrap bonds to the paint beneath it, so preparation matters. The vehicle is washed and the surface cleaned before film goes on, then graphics are applied panel by panel, worked into recesses and trimmed at the edges. Wraps perform well on factory paint in good condition. Chipped, peeling or repainted areas can lift, or pull paint when the film comes off.
After that, care is simple. Hand wash with mild soap, keep pressure washers away from the edges and park in shade or a garage when you can. Sun and heat are what age a wrap in North Texas, and roofs and hoods take the most of both.

How we deliver
One team, from survey to switch-on.
Every vehicle wraps project follows the same six steps. Here is what each one means for this sign type.
- 01
Discover
We record the year, make and model of each vehicle, photograph it and note the paint condition and any racks or modifications.
- 02
Design
The layout is drawn on a vehicle template so logos and phone numbers do not land on handles, seams or deep curves.
- 03
Engineer
Templates are checked against measurements of the actual vehicle before the artwork is finalized.
- 04
Permit
Proofs go to your brand or franchise team for sign-off, and the approved layout becomes the standard for every vehicle.
- 05
Fabricate
Graphics are printed on wrap film, laminated and prepared for application before the vehicle arrives.
- 06
Install
The vehicle is cleaned, the film applied panel by panel and the edges finished, then we walk around it with you.
Dallas Fort Worth
Built for a region that lives on the road.
Dallas Fort Worth runs on the road. Service businesses cross several cities on a single route, and a van parked in a Frisco driveway or crawling along I-635 is seen by people who will never pass your office. That is why wraps pull their weight here. North Texas is also hard on them, with long summers that put direct sun on roofs and hoods for months. We design and install wraps for businesses across the Metroplex, from Dallas and Plano to Arlington and Fort Worth.

What is the difference between a full wrap and a partial wrap?
A full wrap covers most or all of the painted surface, so the film sets the whole look of the vehicle. A partial wrap covers selected areas, often the sides and rear, and uses the paint color as part of the design. Partial wraps and lettering cost less, while full wraps make the bigger impression.
Will a vehicle wrap damage my paint?
On factory paint in good condition, a professionally applied wrap generally removes cleanly. Problems come from paint that is already chipped, peeling, oxidized or repainted, where the film can lift or pull paint when it comes off. Tell us about any bodywork or repaint when you ask for a quote.
How long does a vehicle wrap last?
It depends on the film, how much sun the vehicle sees and how it is washed and stored. Vertical sides usually outlast roofs and hoods, which take the most direct sun. Parking in shade, hand washing and keeping pressure washers off the edges all help a wrap last longer.
Can you wrap a leased vehicle?
Usually, yes. Because wraps can be removed, they are a common way to brand leased vehicles. Check your lease terms first, and plan for removal before the vehicle goes back.
Can you keep our whole fleet consistent?
Yes. We create one approved design, adapt it to each make and model on vehicle templates and keep the artwork on file, so vehicles wrapped months apart stay consistent with the rest of the fleet.
How should I wash a wrapped vehicle?
Hand wash with a mild soap and a soft cloth or sponge, then rinse. Keep pressure washers well away from edges and seams, avoid harsh solvents and wipe off fuel spills, bird droppings and tree sap promptly.
What do you need to quote a vehicle wrap?
The year, make and model of each vehicle, a few photos from each side, your logo files and an idea of coverage: full, partial or lettering. For fleets, a list of vehicles is the fastest start.
Do you do vehicle wraps near me?
If your business is in Dallas Fort Worth, yes. Signs Express designs and installs wraps for businesses across the Metroplex, including Dallas, Richardson, Plano, Frisco, Allen, McKinney and Fort Worth.
