Fleet Wraps Edmonton: Commercial Vehicle Graphics

A single branded vehicle is a wrap project. A fleet is a programme: different vehicle types, often different sizes, and the constraint that they all need to look like they belong to the same company. The work is mostly the same materials and install process as a single-vehicle wrap; the difference is in the front (design proofing across multiple vehicle templates) and the back (scheduling around an operating business that can't have all its trucks off the road at once).

What we install for fleets

TypeTypical use
Full printed wrapMaximum visibility; vehicle becomes a mobile billboard. Cargo vans, box trucks, and trailers where the panels are large and flat.
Partial wrapDoors + tailgate, or doors + box sides, with the rest in factory paint. 70% of the visual impact at half the cost. The right pick for most service-business pickup fleets.
Cut-vinyl letteringCompany name, phone, website, licence info applied as cut vinyl on factory-paint vehicles. The minimum-professional setup.
Perforated window graphicsRear and side windows that show your branding from outside while the driver sees through normally. Good for cargo vans and trailers.
Trailer wrapsSingle or both sides of an enclosed trailer: the highest-impression-per-dollar wrap type because trailers are big, slow, and often parked at job sites for hours.
Magnetic signsRemovable branding for personal vehicles used part-time for the business. Lower cost, removable for personal use.

What we install across: vehicle types

Each link goes to a sub-page with vehicle-specific install considerations (door-jamb access, fender-flare conformability, refrigeration vents on food trucks, ladder racks on HVAC trucks):

What we install across: industries

Vertical-specific pages cover what's different about wrapping each industry's vehicles, including visibility priorities, common panel layouts, and regulatory considerations (DOT numbers, fuel/material warnings):

Materials we use

The same quality of materials as single-vehicle work; we don't downgrade for fleet jobs. Every film in the lineup, printed or colour-change, is cast rather than calendared: thinner, more conformable over rivets and body lines, and backed by a manufacturer warranty. Colour-change cast vinyl is rated 5–7 years outdoors. Printed graphics run through a print film and gloss over-laminate combination, our standard for the majority of print jobs, warranted for 4 years. Cut-vinyl lettering and logos use the same grade of high-performance film, and window graphics get a perforated vinyl with an over-laminate that holds up to sun and washing without curling at the edges.

Materials are spec'd per the design, not by what's cheapest in stock. For multi-vehicle fleet jobs the material consistency matters as much as the install quality; colour can vary slightly between production lots, so we batch-order from one lot when colour-matching across many vehicles.

How a fleet project goes

Different from a single-vehicle wrap in three ways: design phase is longer, materials are batched, and install is scheduled around your operations.

  1. Brand and asset intake. Logo package (preferably vector files), brand colour spec (Pantone if you have one), photos of every vehicle in scope from at least two angles. If we're designing from scratch, we'll book a 30-minute conversation to understand the look.
  2. Mock-up and proof per vehicle type. One digital proof per distinct vehicle layout (one van, one pickup, one trailer is three proofs, not three per vehicle). Up to two rounds of revisions included; further revisions billed at design rate.
  3. Production batch ordering. Once proofs are approved, we order all materials in one lot for colour consistency across vehicles. Production takes 1–3 weeks depending on print volume; multi-vehicle fleets ship in waves.
  4. Install scheduling. Vehicles come in as your operations allow; most fleets stagger 1–3 vehicles per week so they're not all off the road simultaneously. After-hours and weekend installs available for $250/vehicle scheduling premium.
  5. Per-vehicle install. Same process as a single-vehicle wrap (see car wraps for the day-by-day). Photographed at completion for your records.

For fleets over 10 vehicles or projects on tight launch timelines, we'll do a kickoff call and ship a project plan instead of working iteratively over email.

Pricing: typical fleet ranges

These are per-vehicle ranges for fleets of 3+. Volume discounts increase past 10 vehicles, more meaningfully past 25.

WorkPer-vehicle range
Cut-vinyl lettering + logo + phone (doors, tailgate)$300–$1,200
Partial wrap (doors + tailgate, or doors + box sides)$1,200–$2,800
Full printed wrap, pickup or van$3,000–$5,000
Full printed wrap, box truck (16–26 ft)$3,800–$6,500
Trailer wrap, full side$2,000–$4,500 per side
Add: design from scratch (per vehicle type)$400–$1,200 one-time
Add: after-hours / weekend install premium$250 per vehicle

For a single-vehicle quote (not a fleet), the car wraps and truck wraps pages have specific pricing; single-vehicle work doesn't get fleet pricing.

Why fleet wraps are usually worth the spend

The industry stat is 30,000–70,000 daily impressions per wrapped vehicle (OAAA / 3M studies). That's noisy (actual impressions depend on driving hours and route) but the order of magnitude holds in any urban Canadian market. Over a 5-year wrap lifespan, that's tens of millions of impressions per vehicle at zero recurring cost.

Compare that to ongoing channels:

  • Google Ads: pay per click, costs scale linearly with usage
  • Facebook / Instagram: pay per impression, costs scale with reach
  • Print or radio: recurring monthly buys, no compounding asset

A fleet wrap is a one-time investment that generates impressions whenever the vehicle is on the road, which it is anyway as a cost of doing business. Math typically pencils out around 6–18 months for a service-business fleet that's already on the road full-time.

That said: a poorly-designed wrap doesn't help. Text that's unreadable at highway speed, phone numbers in three colours, logos packed onto a single door: those are wasted impressions. Most of the design phase exists to avoid that.

Common questions

What counts as a fleet?

Three or more vehicles with shared branding designed as one project. Two trucks gets quoted as two single-vehicle wraps at standard pricing; three or more unlocks fleet pricing and batch scheduling.

Do you do mixed-vehicle fleets, different makes and models?

Yes. The design phase produces one proof per distinct vehicle template (e.g., one for vans, one for pickups, one for trailers). The same brand applied across different vehicle types is what most fleet projects look like.

What if I add vehicles later?

We keep the design files and material specs for at least 5 years. Adding a vehicle to an existing fleet at the original spec runs at single-vehicle pricing but with no design fee; the layout already exists.

How long does the whole project take?

Design phase: 1–2 weeks (mock-ups, revisions, approval). Material ordering: 1–3 weeks. Install: depends on fleet size and how aggressively you schedule. A 10-vehicle fleet typically ships in 3–6 weeks end-to-end if scheduled steadily; faster is possible at the after-hours premium.

Can we install one vehicle as a pilot before committing to the full fleet?

Yes. Common pattern: we wrap one vehicle at single-vehicle pricing, you live with it for a few weeks to confirm the design works in the wild, then book the rest at fleet pricing. The pilot vehicle's cost rolls into the fleet pricing once the full order is committed.

Do you handle DOT lettering and regulatory markings?

Yes. DOT numbers, USDOT, MC, dimensional-overload markings, dangerous-goods placards, fuel-warning text. These are included as cut-vinyl additions to printed wraps at no significant additional cost.

What happens when a fleet vehicle is sold or retired?

We can remove the wrap (typically $400–$900 per vehicle depending on coverage and age of film). For trade-ins specifically, removal restores the OEM paint underneath, which usually nets back more on the trade than the removal cost.

Can the design be updated without re-wrapping?

Partial updates, yes. A phone number change, a new tagline, an added URL can usually go on as a cut-vinyl overlay or a partial re-wrap of just the affected panel. Major rebrand: full re-wrap.

What if a vehicle is damaged after wrapping?

Body-shop repairs to wrapped vehicles work like this: the wrap usually has to come off the affected panel for the body work, and we re-wrap that panel after. We coordinate with most Edmonton-area body shops on this; budget about $200–$600 per panel for the wrap removal + replacement, in addition to the body shop's repair cost.
