If you'd like to change your car's appearance, you have a few options. You can either get a new paint job, or you can get your car wrapped. It's estimated that the global automotive car wrap market was valued at $5.8 billion in 2022, according to Grand View Research. With this in mind, let's learn more about this process and some of its benefits.

What's a Car Wrap?

A vehicle wrap is a large vinyl decal that's made to cover the entire exterior of a car. It can be solid colored or made with designs and graphics. You can get wraps that look like paint or wraps that carry images. Wraps can be used by individual car owners or commercial vehicle owners. Business owners can get wraps with business logos designed to act as rolling advertisements.

What're the Benefits?

One of the main benefits of this option is that you're receiving better quality coverage than you'd find with paint alone. Poor quality paint jobs will start to fade and crack over time, while car wraps last a very long time. The materials used to create the wrap are high quality and durable. The material is designed to protect the vehicle, including the original paint job under the wrap.

Another great benefit is that car warps are affordable. Wraps are often less expensive than paint jobs. Per the online publication Man and Home, a paint job often costs between $3,000 and $10,000; quality car wrap, however, costs between $2,500 and $5,000. This is one of the main reasons why businesses choose wraps for fleet vehicles rather than paint!

Wraps also offer easier maintenance than painting. Maintaining a professional paint job requires a lot of time, effort, products, and patience. On the other hand, car wraps aren't quite so delicate. Because the wrap is made from tough durable material in the first place, the vehicle won't require such careful maintenance or cleaning.

Who Should Get a Car Wrap?

A car wrap can benefit anyone who owns a vehicle. It's very beneficial to business owners who have fleet vehicles. The wrap helps to protect the vehicle, improve the appearance of the vehicle, and provide an advertising opportunity as well. However, any driver can invest in a car wrap to improve the appearance of their vehicle!
