Vehicle Graphics: Design & Installation Guide

From full wraps to simple decals, how vehicle graphics are designed, installed and maintained.

26 April 2024 5 min readBy The Elite Branding Team

Vehicle graphics range from simple decals to full wraps, and both design and installation affect the result and its lifespan. Understanding the options helps you brief the job well. This guide covers vehicle graphics design and installation.

Wraps vs decals

Full wraps cover the vehicle for maximum impact; partial wraps and decals brand key areas cost effectively. The right choice depends on budget and the look you want.

Design principles for vehicles

Design for legibility in motion. Bold graphics, strong contrast and clear contact details read far better than detailed, cluttered layouts.

Materials, installation and durability

Quality materials and professional installation are essential for a smooth, durable finish. Well installed graphics last for years with basic care.

Key takeaways

  • Choose wraps or decals based on budget and impact.
  • Design bold and legible for viewing in motion.
  • Use quality materials and professional installation.
