What is vinyl car wrap, exactly ?

April 1, 2024

PVC Vinyl has been used for bespoke lettering, logos, and decals since the 1950s, but full automobile wraps have yet to gain traction. Then, in 1993, someone had a simple but innovative idea: why not vinyl cover an automobile completely? Germany required that all taxis be painted beige, yet no paint was required. With a beige vinyl from Kay Premium Marking Films, virtually any vehicle may be made regulation-compliant in just a few hours.

Vinyl car wraps are made out of a polyvinylchloride (PVC) polymer and numerous additives that make it flexible, UV resistant, and colorful. These components are mixed together, then cast onto movable sheets and baked and cured.
