Introducing Modular Van Wraps: How Are They Making Fleet Customisation Faster and Cheaper?

Vehicle wrapping is a proven way to publicise your services or brand throughout your local area, displaying graphics, your business logo or promotional decals everywhere you travel – and ensuring your commercial vehicles represent your company with pride.

One of the challenges of company wraps for vans has been offsetting the value of public advertising against the cost of having a fleet vehicle off the road for a few days or needing to invest in new decals and wraps each time your events or signage need to change.

Modular van wraps represent the latest in vehicle wrapping technology. They incorporate an innovative process where wrap panels are pre-cut using digital software and can be installed within one day—reducing the cost of van wraps and the time our technicians take to apply each film.

What Is a Modular Van Wrap?

If you’re unfamiliar with modular one-day van wraps, rest assured—you’re not alone! Modular simply means that a wrap is created in a pre-configured way. 3D scanning can capture every detail of your van’s bodywork, panels, and trims in exacting digital metrics, and use that data to laser-cut every panel within your van wrap in advance.

While you’ll still need an accomplished van wrap technician to install the wrap and ensure it is flawless, bubble-free, and will remain looking fantastic over time, the advanced cutting process means we can prepare a wrap bespoke to your van at lightning speed and pass those savings on to you as our customer.

Just as our classic van wraps, dynamic colour change wraps and customised decals cover a comprehensive array of vehicle branding, we can adapt your modular wrap to your requirements, whether you need:

• • Modular vehicle wraps for one van or an entire fleet.
  • Wraps for a variety of commercial cars and vehicles of different sizes.
  • Promotional vehicle signage for short-term display purposes.

The secret is in the 3D laser scanning system, which enables us to apply the precision and attention to detail we are known for. This results in fully customised vehicle wrapping designs for any van, truck, car, or business vehicle—but at as much as 50% lower cost than a traditional wrap.

How Do Modular Van Wraps Reduce the Cost of Professional Wrapping Services?

Modular vehicle wraps ensure that professional wrapping is faster and simpler for our technicians. This allows us to focus our speciality knowledge in van wrap design, stand-out branding, and eye-catching promotions to more vehicles than ever before.

The speed at which a modular set of vinyls can be digitally designed, printed, and installed optimises efficiency at every stage without compromising the sleek look, finish, and appeal of your completed wrap.

Although modular wraps are relatively new to the sector, the principle has been around for some time. It essentially means that we remove any manual aspect of cutting the vinyl to fit every tiny recess, curve, and angle in the bodywork of your van or other vehicle.

Previously, we’d need to:

• • Dismantle various components
  • Create precision measurements and impressions to cut your wrap accurately.
  • Prep the bodywork to ensure it is clean, dust-free and has good adhesion properties.
  • Apply your van wrap to ensure a seamless finish and impact.
  • Re-fit all the fixtures removed during the initial vehicle prep.

The only difference between a modular van wrap and any other is that some of those phases are removed since the wrap is custom-cut to your vehicle and doesn’t require all the panels to be accessory and fixture-free for the installation to be completed.

As you’d expect from WrapUK, we continue to provide access to the best quality vinyl wrapping brands, lower-cost wraps for temporary applications, exceptional wraps with great longevity, and optional additional finishes to extend the lifespan of your wrap or decal.

How Long Does it Take to Apply Modular Van Wraps?

While your van wrapping project may vary in duration depending on the size and type of vehicle, the amount of bodywork prep we need to plan for, and the complexity and size of your wrap, most modular vehicle wraps can be applied and finished in just a few hours—or one working day.

It’s important to clarify that although we can often achieve a turnaround time of just a few hours, those expectations may change if a van has an existing wrap that needs to be removed or has been exposed to considerable road debris and oil and requires a thorough clean and sanitisation before a wrap can be fitted.

However, in most cases, a modular van wrap is finished and ready to hit the road on the same day, compared to a typical requirement of up to two to three days for a full vehicle wrap covering every panel of your van using conventional vinyl cutting and application methods.

As an added benefit, modular vehicle wraps can also support businesses with eco-conscious values. Since the heat used during production is reduced, we rely on a lower volume of energy to create and apply your wrap.

We recognise that thousands of our commercial clients are keen to reduce their carbon footprints, and a modular wrap is both lower cost, faster to fit and can improve your compliance with eco-friendly targets or green credentials, with minimal vinyl wastage and lower energy dependency during the application.
