The Logistics of Van Wrapping: Using Our Mobile Service to Optimise Speed and Efficiency

The WrapUK team often speaks with clients who appreciate how an on-brand, visually captivating, and memorable vinyl van wrapping is a great way to transform their fleets into mobile billboards. However, many also find that having multiple vehicles unavailable isn’t commercially viable.

One of our in-demand services, available for larger wrapping services and fleet requirements, is our mobile collection and delivery service. That means our technicians and engineers will organise all the logistics, whether you’re after a full set of all-vehicle van wraps or need a partial wrap on every company van in your fleet.

The trick is all in the planning and design, which we manage in advance. We ensure that on the day, we can fit same-day or modular wraps as quickly as possible, minimising the time your fleet is off the road or coordinating your branding project with specific days when you have a little more flexibility.

How a Mobile Wrapping Service Offers the Ultimate in Vehicle Customisation Efficiency

More and more brands are looking to vehicle wrapping services to augment brand recognition, maintain a professional image, and develop eye-catching designs that help them win more customers and generate more enquiries.

It’s hugely important to balance the benefits of vinyl graphics with the practicalities of running a business—something we know all about firsthand!

As the go-to specialists in fleet and van signage, we can offer varied recommendations to help you achieve your aims, but these can include:

• Staggering van wrapping to ensure you maintain a minimum number of vehicles available at any time, such as coordinating a fleet wrapping project over a series of days rather than taking the whole fleet off the road for the duration.
• Using super-fast and ultra-efficient modular and same-day wraps, which we can install, finish, and have ready for use within 24 hours.
• Creating seamless, matching van graphics for different vehicles in your fleet. This ensures that company lorries, delivery vans, cars, and trucks all have the same distinct branding.

The best advice is to get in touch to discuss how we could best support your van customisation project. Over the years, we’ve collaborated with countless businesses of every size and can run through your objectives to advise on the most cost-effective and convenient options available.

The Process of Fitting Custom Mobile Van Wraps 

We often discuss the technicalities and skill involved in designing, creating, and installing a perfect, seamless, and long-wearing wrap. This is due to our attention to detail, specialist equipment, and the quality of the top vinyl wrap brands we offer.

Each wrap installation project is completed to our customary high standards, including prep work to ensure the bodywork is squeaky clean and free of debris, dust, or residues that can impact the visual finish achieved.

Vehicle wrapping takes place in our controlled warehouse, which allows us to maintain a sanitised environment where our experienced technicians can ensure there is no potential for water or humidity to impact the installation.

Wrap fitting can also involve removing accessories and features like wing mirrors and doors, where necessary, and leaving finished vehicles in situ for a minimum number of hours to ensure all adhesives and lettering have been fully cured and are road ready.

While noting that mobile services are typically better suited to larger projects rather than individual vehicle wrapping requirements, we’ll discuss all the particulars with you to ensure we organise the vehicle collection, delivery and wrap fitting for a time and date when this isn’t likely to cause any disruption.

Advice for Van Wrapping Clients Planning for Fleet Vehicles Being Off the Road

Having any number of fleet vehicles off the road can cause downtime, which is why we offer flexible services that help transport managers and fleet supervisors organise the wrapping services they need without impacting their businesses. 

Although some downtime is part and parcel of running a fleet since issues like malfunctions, breakdowns and flat tyres happen, it’s also possible to be strategic and intentional about introducing your new vehicle design concept. Previous clients have, for instance:

• Reviewed periods of lower demand when they are more able to allocate a number of fleet vehicles to be wrapped, avoiding the financial and reputational impacts that would occur if they were operating below capacity during peak periods.

• Used a leased van to replace each vehicle being wrapped, or relied on older fleet vehicles due to be decommissioned or sold, while their van wrapping was being completed.

• Scheduled fleet wrapping to occur as late in the day as possible, potentially on a Friday, when most of the vehicles won’t be required in service until the following Monday.

• Provided clients with advance notice of limited capacity to mitigate against missed delivery deadlines and to manage expectations.

Much will depend on the nature of your business and how you currently manage your fleet, but we’re always happy to discuss your ideas or see if there is a great way to manage your fleet customisation project.

The Standout Benefits of a Mobile Van Wrapping Service

Mobile van wrapping is significantly more convenient for a large proportion of clients. They can achieve the impact and advertising that comes with high-quality vinyl wraps without needing to try to juggle having numerous vehicles off the road for extended periods.

It’s also well worth considering our fast wrapping services, whether for a large vehicle wrapping project or individual company cars or vans.

Modular wraps use the same premium materials, but we offer access to leading-edge 3D laser scanning backed by next-gen software. This enables us to create precise, customised wraps for any size of vehicle in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take, and with the dual advantage of a cost reduction that makes 24-hour wraps as much as 50% more affordable!

As always, please get in touch with the WrapUK team for more information, to compare modular same-day wraps with alternatives, or to enquire about availability to organise a mobile collection and delivery service.
