They move through traffic on King George Boulevard, park near job sites in Newton, and make deliveries across the Fraser Valley several times a week.The only question is whether they are helping your business while they do so.A well-designed fleet wrap turns every mile into valuable brand exposure, and it continues to deliver results long after a radio ad or a social media campaign has ended.
At Fleet Signs and Wraps, we design, print, and install vehicle wraps in Surrey for a variety of businesses, including contractors, tradespeople, delivery operators, service companies, and anyone else who wants their trucks to look like they belong to a legitimate business rather than a side job.
Why Fleet Wraps Outperform Most Other Advertising Spend
Most ads are rented.
You usually pay monthly, and when you stop, the exposure stops too.A fleet wrap, however, is an investment.Once purchased, it works for years, providing long-term visibility.
Industry studies consistently show that a single wrapped vehicle can reach tens of thousands of viewers daily in an urban area like Surrey.
When you spread the cost of a wrap over four to seven years of use, the cost per impression is often lower than most other advertising channels available to small or mid-sized businesses.
There’s also a second, harder-to-measure benefit.
A clean, professional wrap signals that your business is established.When a homeowner in Fleetwood sees a branded van instead of an unmarked one pulling up to their house, the interaction is different.Quotes are more likely to be accepted, and people are more likely to remember your business name.
What We Wrap
We can wrap almost any vehicle with a flat enough surface, including:
– Cargo and sprinter vans – these are the most common fleet vehicles with large, uninterrupted side panels
– Pickup trucks – doors, tailgates, boxes, and canopies
– Box trucks and cube vans – the largest mobile billboards you can legally drive
– Trailers – enclosed utility, flat deck, and dump trailers
– Cars and SUV – ideal for reactors, insurance professionals, sales reps, and timeshare operators
– Food trucks and trailers – where the wrap becomes the storefront
– Heavy equipment and specialty vehicles – on a case-by-case basis
Whether you’re wrapping one van or twenty, the process remains consistent.
We simply manage the scheduling so that you’re never without working vehicles.
Full Wraps, Partial Wraps, and Lettering
Not all vehicles require full coverage, and we’ll advise you on when it’s not necessary.
A full wrap covers the entire painted surface of the vehicle.
This gives you complete creative freedom, allowing for images, color changes, gradients, and textures.It’s the most visually striking option and also protects the original paint underneath, which is beneficial if you plan to resell the vehicle.
A partial wrap uses vinyl on the most visible panels and leaves the factory paint on the rest of the vehicle.
When done well, a partial wrap appears intentional rather than cost-cutting, especially on white or black vehicles where the base color becomes part of the design.You can expect to pay about half to two-thirds of what a full wrap costs.
Cut vinyl lettering and decals are the most affordable option.
These include your logo, phone number, services, and website.They don’t include background graphics.For many trades, this is all that’s needed, and it offers the fastest turnaround of the three options.
We’ll provide a quote based on what makes the most sense for your budget and goals, not simply what has the highest cost.
Our Process
We begin with your vehicles, your brand materials, and a discussion about what you want the wrap to achieve.
Lead generation and brand recognition often require different design approaches.We measure each vehicle ourselves rather than using generic templates, since even vehicles of the same model can vary in size and shape, such as a 2019 Transit and a 2024 Transit.
Our team creates a design proof on a vehicle template so you can see how the design looks on doors, handles, fuel caps, and body lines.
You’ll receive revisions until you’re happy with the final look.This is where most poor wraps are prevented – by avoiding too much text, placing contact information where it might be interrupted by a door handle, or using colors that don’t stand out on the highway.
Once the design is finalized, we print and laminate the wrap, ready for installation.
We print graphics on cast vinyl using either solvent or latex inks, followed by a protective overlaminate that guards against UV exposure, road salt, and pressure washing.
Skipping the lamination step is a quick fix that leads to problems after about eighteen months, such as faded or scratched panels.
Installation.
Every vehicle is thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated before any panel is applied.Installations are done indoors in a controlled environment to prevent dust and cold from affecting the adhesion.Most single-vehicle installs take one to three days, depending on the complexity.
Aftercare.
We provide detailed care instructions and stand by our workmanship.If any part of the wrap lifts or bubbles in the first few weeks, bring it back to us.
Turn your company vehicles into powerful, moving advertisements with fleet signs wraps, your trusted expert in fleet vehicle wraps.
Materials That Survive the Lower Mainland
The Pacific Northwest is particularly tough on vinyl, not because of heat, but due to moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and the gritty spray from winter roads.
We primarily use high-quality cast vinyl from manufacturers like 3M and Avery Dennison.
Cast film is thinner and more flexible than calendered film, allowing it to fit into rivets, curves, and recesses without stretching or shrinking later.When paired with a matching overlaminate, a correctly installed wrap typically lasts between five to seven years in this climate.
Finish options include gloss, matte, satin, brushed metal, carbon fibre, and colour-change films if you want a paint-replacement look without the need for paint.
Serving Surrey and the Surrounding Region
Our shop is located in Surrey, and most of our clients are within a short drive: Langley, Delta, White Rock, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Richmond, Abbotsford, and Vancouver.
Fleet customers from further out in the Valley regularly make the trip, and we coordinate schedules to ensure that multi-vehicle jobs don’t disrupt your crews.
We work with a wide range of professionals including electrical and plumbing contractors, HVAC companies, landscapers, moving and courier services, restoration and cleaning companies, mobile mechanics, construction firms, food vendors, and real estate teams.
Keeping a Wrap Looking New
Wraps require low maintenance, not zero maintenance.
A few simple habits can significantly extend their lifespan:
Wash by hand using mild soap and a soft cloth whenever possible.
If using an automatic car wash, opt for touchless systems.
Keep pressure washers below 2000 PSI, maintain a distance of at least 30 cm, and avoid aiming directly at edges or seams.
Clean up fuel spills, bird droppings, and tree sap as soon as possible.
Park in shaded areas or indoors whenever possible.
Removal and Lease Protection
When it’s time for a rebrand or lease return, we remove wraps using controlled heat and proper techniques.
Vinyl that has been installed correctly and removed before its service life is over comes off without damaging the factory paint.In some cases, wrapped panels actually look better underneath than the surrounding areas, as the vinyl protected them from years of UV exposure and grit.
