Re: Teach us about vinyl wraps
We had the sides of our trailer done at Wrap-Ads in Pasadena, CA. We're going on 4 years now and it still looks pretty good. We designed the graphic in Photoshop, and then they recreated it in Illustrator as all vector, or super-high resolution rasters, if vector was not available. I'm not aware of what it cost, since another sponsor generously paid for it. One thing I do know, is I would not attempt doing it yourself, especially if it's a large and/or non-flat surface. Too easy to mess up. Leave it to the pros.
It has helped spark a huge transformation of our entire team and program, and serves as an excellent rolling billboard and backdrop for anywhere we go.
We wash it perhaps once per year at most. The vertical sides don't collect dirt too bad.
We've since added more sponsors to it, as vinyl cut and applied on top of the printed vinyl, and you would hardly ever know that they weren't printed as part of the main graphic to begin with.
