Why does Vehicle Signwriting Matter?
Your vehicle is often the first impression people have of your business. Professional vehicle graphics help:
- Build trust and recognition
- Make your business easier to remember
- Create a more professional appearance on-site
- Promote your business while you drive
- Keep branding consistent across your fleet
Good vehicle signage doesn’t need to be overcomplicated. It just needs to be clear, well-designed, and applied properly.

Vehicle Signage and Wrapping FAQs
You’ve most likely got further questions about having graphics designed, printed and installed upon your commercial vehicle. We have listed and answered some of the most asked questions below and are more than happy to chat further about these or any other questions you may have.
Cost will vary depending upon several factors, including your preferred coverage of graphics, vehicle size and design work required. As a general guide, you can expect somewhere between $260+GST for basic spot vehicle graphics and upwards of $3,000+GST for a partial vehicle wrap.
This will depend upon the amount of sun exposure and environmental stress the vehicle has, where on the vehicle the graphics are installed, plus how well the graphics are cared for. The condition of your vehicle's paint job prior to application can affect the longevity too. A general guideline is between 5 to 10 years.
A professional repaint is designed to last the life of the vehicle. A wrap has a shorter lifespan. If you get a scrape in a wrapped car, the entire vehicle may require recovered. In a painted car, the scrape can often be polished out.
It’s quite easy to care for the graphics we have installed on your vehicle. Hand washing with a soft sponge is suitable but remember to use a non-abrasive detergent. Use of a microfibre cloth helps to reduce water spotting, and please do not use any wax or polishing products on your vinyl. The chemicals and brushes used in commercial carwash machines can cause scratches or lifting of the graphics. Do not use a pressure washer/water blaster.
If your vehicle’s paintwork is in good condition when the graphics are applied, there should be no damage when installed. When time comes for removal, heat application can help soften the vinyl adhesive and make it easier to remove.
What colours do you want? We have access to an enormous range of vinyl colours, finishes and textures – almost nothing is impossible!
