Car wraps, just like cars, come in all different types. The term “car wrap” means different things to different people. Here are images of the 4 main types:

Full car wrap:

Partial car wrap:

Vinyl graphics:

Combo:

A full car wrap involves covering every panel of the car with a special vehicle air release vinyl. Working with a specialized vehicle wrap installer, we print the panels with a solvent based ink so that it resists fading and holds up to the elements. YellowDog does not actually do these installs because it is a very specialized skill but we have several contract installers we can recommend and will work closely with our production team so the end result looks amazing!

A partial car wrap is the same process as a full wrap but only some of the panels are fully covered. This works well when you are on a budget and can utilize the color of the car as part of the design.

Vinyl graphics, generally speaking, are just a vehicle grade “sticker”. The graphics are printed, cut to shape and masked for installation. The install process is much easier and we can do that for you at YellowDog. This works well when you want your logo or other company information on the car but don’t want the complete car panel covered.

A combo car wrap utilizes both fully covered panels and vinyl graphics. The van is a great example of this. About ⅔ of the van is wrapped but the wheat and logo are vinyl graphics next to the wrap. This saved them money and the “wispy” elements worked well with the van color.
