When deciding you want to change your commercial vehicle, you generally have two options at your disposal, you can either spray it, or you can wrap it! Although both are viable options given the large market share both options have in vehicle customisation, there is only one answer as far as Team HG are concerned…wrap it all the way!
Wrapping commercial vehicles has become a cornerstone of our HG Graphics business here at Team HG, and in this blog, we are going to give 5 key reasons why our customers are being sold on the concept of wrapping over paint and ultimately, keep coming back for more.
Let’s get into it.
Customisation
When we think about the advantages wrapping has over paint, a great place to start is with customisation ofcourse.
Without thinking about it too much, you would think this is where paint would come into its own, in terms of colours at least, wouldn’t you? With the obvious advantage of being able to achieve any pantone colour finish you want.
Well, we’re here to tell you wrapping can even trump paint in this regard too! With the wrapping films we use, we can match any colour you want but we can even bring colours in array of finishes as well, from matte to satin, gloss or even textured finishes, helping you achieve the look you want.
When we’re talking about wrapping commercial vehicles, coloured finishes are only just scratching the surface.
The printing capabilities with adopting wrap allow you to make your vehicle exactly what you want! Whether you’re looking to market your brand, relay a specific message or even just look the part, here at HG Graphics we can cater for your every need and that’s a HG promise.
Cost-effective
Why pay more when you can get the same high-end results for less?
The cost-of-living crisis has affected pretty much everyone in recent times, so when commercial businesses are looking to change the aesthetic of their vehicles, cost saving alternatives are certainly advantageous.
One of the many beauties of wrapping your commercial vehicle is that you will indeed save yourself a lot of money, whilst (as touched upon) bringing a paint-like finish to your vehicle.
So, how much does a wrap cost? Well, it depends on the vehicle ofcourse, but don’t hesitate to drop us a line at hello@teamhg.co.uk and our team will be more than happy to give you an accurate cost.
Simple Reversibility
The landscape of businesses today is always changing, with diversifications, marketing messaging and the rest always on the move.
So, in an ideal world you don’t want to commit to just one aesthetic when it comes to your commercial vehicle. With the constant change, businesses really need the possibility of being able to interchange their vehicle looks.
Another great benefit of using wrap is that it can be indeed removed without damaging the surface underneath, allowing you to then rewrap with your new design with relative ease!
Unfortunately, the same isn’t true with paint. Paint is more permanent, with the process of changing the colour being a lot more laborious and drawn out.
Protection
One of the bugbears our customers have when it comes to paint, is damage, and how easily the paintwork can get damaged. Not only does it look horrendous, but it can also be a nightmare to get fixed from both a technical and cost point of view.
Wrap can take this pain away. That’s right, wrapping your vehicle doesn’t just bring flexibility in design or cost savings, they can protect you as well.
The wraps we use are durable and robust, able to stand up to the day-to-day traffic commercial vehicles endure, protecting from scratches, dents and can even cover up existing chips the paint underneath has succumbed to.
When beauty meets performance, a genuine match made in heaven.
Time-saving
Business in the UK is well known for being fast paced.
With that in mind, ask yourself this…. Do you really have the time for your commercial vehicles to be off the road for several days (or even more) for a custom paint job? No, we didn’t think so.
It’s an absolute fact that the lead time for wrapping a vehicle is way faster than it is for painting one.
With just one layer of application and no drying time, once the wrap is applied, your vehicle is good to go. As some of our case studies demonstrate, we can literally have a vehicle booked in for a morning and have it back on the roads ready for business by the time lunchtime hits!

This brings us to the conclusion of our piece, where we have given you 5 reasons to choose to wrap over paint for your next commercial vehicle exterior refurb.
