Part wrap and digital print and cut
Did a couple of vans yesterday and today.
The first was a digital print and cut (CPJ) which was designed by a local graphic design company – Full Circle Graphics.
The second was our own design (Electromech) and consisted of a digital print fading out to white to match the bodywork of the van. THe rest of the lettering was cut vinyl.

Nice clean work – I prefer Electrotech I think…

Nice clean work Phill, well done mate. from the two your own design is better than the that of the design house. probably down to the norm, "some so called" design houses are not good at laying out vehicles. they forget the design must work with the vehicle type and that theres 4 different sides/layouts. 🙄
thanks for taking the time to post your work phill, much appreciated.
p.s. did you use wrap-cut or the like to trim the recessed panel or did you opt for alternative method?

Thanks for the positive feedback guys.
Rob – I used the method described here to shape the vinyl into the panels:-

ahhh i forgot you had done that tutorial, looks like it works well too!

Looks great Phil. I’ve done similar stuff in the past but printed on to clear.
The term "Electrical motor repairs" looks rather odd to me though. -
Yes, the CPJ one definitely could have done with the Gas Safe coming off the side panel so the main graphic and text could have been centred.

I couldn’t decide whether to print onto white or onto clear given that it was a white van but elected to use white vinyl anyway. However, the white vinyl turned out to be a slightly different shade to the van and in retrospect clear may have been a better choice.
Something to think about next time :thumbsup:

your correct on it that clear would have been best, but means yet another roll of digital you will need to stock. unless you customer wants loads of them doing.
sounds a tight fisted point to make, i know… but i remember doing this for a customer onto clear digital vehicle wrap. small van, used about 5 metres in total as it wasnt a full wrap.
a year and a half later i still had that 45 metre roll on the shelf. i ended up using it for a laminate to get rid of it. 🙄 -

Sorry Rob but I don’t follow that. Surely that panel doesn’t need wrap vinyl.
Just print on MD5 clear (other brands are available !) and laminate in the same. No need to stock other materials.John
