FOR YOUR TRAILERS, THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WRAPS AND HOW FAST WE CAN EXECUTE YOUR VAN AND TRAILER WRAP PROJECT!

 

As we often say, trailer wrapping is an art and a science. A lot of people wonder how to wrap trailers. This is a great question that can be answered technically and with great precision by certified trailer wrapping experts so here’s our take on the craft of trailer graphics.

The lifetime duration of a trailer wrap

Due to several circumstances, including the amount of exposure to sunlight and other environmental elements, the caliber of the wrap and installation, and the level of maintenance given to the wrap, the life expectancy of vinyl wraps on a trailer and a vehicle may differ. Due to their increased exposure to the weather while in transit, vinyl coverings on trailers often have a shorter lifespan. It is best to seek professional advice so they can assess your unique situation and provide a more precise estimate.

Will installation influence the life duration of a wrap on a trailer?

The effectiveness of a trailer vinyl wrap's installation can significantly affect how long it lasts. For the wrap to cling effectively to the trailer's surface and to be free of bubbles and wrinkles, proper installation is essential. The wrap's lifespan may be drastically shortened if it is improperly put since it may start to peel or come free. The wrap may also be more vulnerable to damage from wind, rain, and other environmental factors if it is not properly cut and fitted. In order to ensure that the installation is done properly and in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications, it is crucial to have the wrap placed by a professional who has expertise in placing wraps on trailers.

5 elements to make vinyl wraps last longer on your trailers

There are various techniques to extend the life of vinyl coverings on trailers:

  • Installation done right: Ensure that the wrap is put properly by a qualified specialist who has experience installing wraps on trailers. In order to prevent bubbles, wrinkles, and other flaws that could reduce the lifespan of the wrap, it's crucial to make sure the installation is carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
  • Maintenance and cleaning: Regularly cleaning the wrap with mild soap and water will keep it clean. Avoid using abrasives or harsh chemicals that could harm the wrap.
  • Protection from the weather: To lessen the wrap's exposure to UV radiation, severe temperatures, and precipitation, try parking the trailer in a shady place or covering it when it's not in use.
  • Avoid Scratching: To prevent scratching or damage to the wrap, avoid dragging or scraping heavy objects over it.
  • Invest in high-quality vinyl wraps made expressly for use on trailers; these wraps are more resilient, fade-resistant, and able to survive greater exposure to the elements.
You can help your vinyl wraps last longer and keep your trailers looking fantastic by following the instructions above.

6 ways to know when you should replace your trailer wraps

There are a number of indicators that it might be time to change your trailer wraps:

  • Discoloration or fading: If the wrap's color has changed or gotten faded, it could be time to replace it.
  • Peeling or loosening: The wrap has to be replaced if it is peeling or beginning to come away. This indicates that it is no longer sticking adequately.
  • Rips or tears: If the wrap is torn or otherwise damaged, it will be unable to shield the trailer and needs to be replaced.
  • Stretching or shrinking: The wrap may no longer fit properly if it has stretched or shrunk as a result of changes in humidity or temperature.
  • The wrap should be replaced if it has bubbles or wrinkles because they make it look unprofessional and smooth.
  • Overall appearance: It could be time to replace the wrap if it is beginning to show signs of use and abuse or if the design is outdated.

A well-maintained vinyl wrap can last between three and five years, while it's difficult to specify a precise time frame because it depends on the quality of the wrap and the level of care and maintenance provided to it.
