Custom Vehicle, Trailer & Fleet Graphics

Craftsmen's vehicle graphics services include graphic design and mockups, vehicle templating, color matching, large-format printing, protective lamination, vehicle surface preparation, wrap installation, fleet graphics painting, banner frame fabrication, and graphics removal and replacement. Whether a vehicle program calls for a single wrapped Sprinter van, a matched fleet of box trucks, or graphics for a 53-foot expandable trailer, Craftsmen supplies the in-house designers, large-format printers, installers, and 45- and 65-foot paint booths that carry one brand identity across every vehicle in the program.

Craftsmen's vehicle wrap process runs through consultation, design, material selection, vehicle preparation, installation, and final inspection. Craftsmen recommends premium vinyl film from brands such as 3M or Avery Dennison in the buyer's chosen finish, and Craftsmen's installers stretch the film into creases and trim edges cleanly. Craftsmen's painted fleet graphics follow a parallel path of layout review, surface preparation, painting, in-house quality checks, and delivery. Craftsmen produces full wraps, half wraps, partial wraps, vinyl lettering and decals, and painted fleet graphics for cars, vans, trucks, buses, trailers, and specialty vehicles.

Craftsmen brands vehicles nationwide for small businesses, corporate fleets, and municipal fleets in the transportation and logistics, delivery, construction, retail, service, and experiential marketing sectors. For Castrol and the agency Mosaic, Craftsmen built high-roof cargo vans wrapped in Castrol green, which toured the continental U.S. with stops at oil change facilities. For AT&T and the agency Derse, Craftsmen delivered three wrapped 16-foot box trucks with open stages for national tours. Craftsmen's Makita Driving Innovation Tour project paired a tandem-axle display trailer and a box truck in matching Makita wraps. For Smirnoff, Craftsmen converted five vintage-style vans into Moscow Mule mobile bars painted copper to resemble the cocktail's mug. Craftsmen and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department jointly designed a wrapped Sprinter van Mobile Police Station. With the agency Momentum, Craftsmen turned a step van into a fully wrapped Little Golden Books storybook timeline for Penguin Random House.

Craftsmen prices each vehicle graphics project through a custom quote. Craftsmen answers each quote request, made online or by phone, with a project discussion and a detailed proposal in which Craftsmen's estimators set out cost options and recommend materials. Vehicle graphics cost depends on coverage level, vehicle size, body complexity such as curves and rivets, film and laminate grade, design and template work, surface condition, old-graphics removal, fleet size, vehicle mix, and rush timelines. Buyers should compare scope before price, checking what each quote covers from the coverage map to warranty and care terms, and confirm each provider's installer training and liability insurance.

Craftsmen wraps vehicles in UV-resistant, weatherproof vinyl film with gloss, satin, matte, chrome, carbon fiber, velvet, or shade-shifting finishes, and advises against wrapping over peeling paint, dents, or rust. Avery Dennison recommends cast vinyl film for vehicle wraps because cast film conforms to compound curves and resists the shrinkage that lifts film from recesses, and positions calendered film for short-term use on flat or simply curved surfaces. Avery Dennison halves a film's stated durability on non-vertical surfaces and sets no durability expectation for horizontal surfaces. Craftsmen paints fleet graphics on metal, composite, and plastic surfaces and offers optional clear coats and UV-resistant layers. Federal rule 49 CFR 390.21 requires interstate self-propelled commercial motor vehicles to show the carrier's name and USDOT number on both sides in contrasting letters legible from 50 feet.
