Turn Your Fleet into Your Best Marketing Tool
If your business uses trucks, vans, or cars to make deliveries or connect with clients, you own valuable advertising real estate that you might be ignoring. A plain white work van gets lost in traffic. A professionally wrapped commercial vehicle gets noticed—thousands of times every single day.
At Auto Trim Group in Kalamazoo, we specialize in transforming ordinary work vehicles into extraordinary mobile billboards.
Whether you are a local tradesman with a single pickup truck or a facility manager overseeing a 50-vehicle fleet, our commercial wrapping services provide one of the most cost-effective advertising investments you can make.
The Business Case for Commercial Wraps: Unmatched ROI
Why invest in commercial truck wraps or van graphics? Because unlike traditional advertising like billboards, radio, or print ads that require monthly "rent," a vehicle wrap is a one-time investment that pays dividends for years.
- Lowest Cost Per Impression (CPM): Studies show that mobile advertising generates impressions at a fraction of the cost of other media. Your vehicle is advertising when it's driving down I-94, parked at a job site, or even sitting in your driveway.
- Instant Professionalism: A high-quality wrap builds immediate trust. It tells potential customers that you are an established, professional, and reputable business.
- Protect Your Assets: Beyond marketing, high-quality vinyl protects the factory paint underneath from stone chips, scratches, and UV damage, helping maintain resale value when it’s time to cycle your fleet.
From Concept to Creation: Our Commercial Wrap Design Process
A great wrap starts with great design. You don't need to bring us finished artwork; we have the in-house expertise to create it for you.
- Consultation & Strategy: We discuss your brand, your budget, and your marketing goals. Are you looking for a loud, attention-grabbing design or something subtle and professional?
- Custom Design: Our graphic designers specialize in commercial vehicle wrap design. We create layouts specifically tailored to the curves and contours of your specific vehicle model, ensuring your logo and contact info are perfectly placed for maximum readability.
- Premium Production: We use only top-tier cast vinyl materials from trusted brands like 3M and Avery Dennison, printed in high resolution for vibrant, long-lasting color.
- Professional Installation: The longevity of a wrap depends on the installation. Our trained technicians install your graphics in our climate-controlled facility, ensuring a bubble-free finish that won't lift or peel prematurely.
Wrapping Solutions for Every Business Need
We offer scalable solutions tailored to your specific budget and branding goals.
- Full Commercial Wraps: Complete coverage for maximum impact. This turns the entire vehicle into a canvas for your brand colors and messaging.
- Partial Wraps: A strategic and budget-friendly option. We integrate your design with the vehicle’s base color, typically covering 25% to 75% of the surface.
- Fleet Graphics & Decals: Simple, effective branding using cut vinyl lettering for logos, phone numbers, and websites. Essential for uniform fleet identification.

Frequently Asked Questions about Commercial VEHICLE WRAPS
Q: How long does a commercial vehicle wrap typically last?
A: When using premium materials like 3M or Avery Dennison and following our care instructions, a professionally installed wrap typically lasts 5 to 7 years. The lifespan can vary based on sun exposure and how frequently the vehicle is washed.
Q: Will a vinyl wrap damage my vehicle's paint?
A: No. In fact, it does the opposite. A high-quality wrap acts as a protective layer against UV rays, minor scratches, and stone chips. When it comes time to sell or trade in the vehicle, the vinyl can be professionally removed to reveal the factory paint in the same condition it was in the day it was wrapped.
Q: Can you wrap a vehicle that has existing damage or rust?
A: For the best results, the surface must be smooth and free of rust or peeling paint. Vinyl is designed to adhere to sound factory paint. If there is significant rust or body damage, the vinyl may not bond correctly and could fail prematurely. We recommend having any body issues repaired before wrapping.
Q: How do I wash and maintain a wrapped vehicle?
A: We recommend hand washing with a non-abrasive detergent for the best longevity. If you use a car wash, choose a touchless option. Avoid high-pressure sprayers too close to the edges of the vinyl, as this can cause lifting over time.
Q: How long will my vehicle be off the road during installation?
A: Most individual vehicle wraps take 2 to 3 days to install once the design is finalized and the material is printed. For larger fleets, we work with you to create a staggered schedule so that your entire team isn't off the road at the same time.
Q: Can you wrap trailers or specialized equipment?
: Absolutely. Beyond vans and trucks, we wrap enclosed trailers, flatbeds, heavy machinery, and even specialty vehicles like food trucks or mobile command centers. If it has a smooth surface, we can likely brand it.
