Van wrap pricing help – supplier can’t give me a price
I’m trying to price a full digital print wrap for a customer, there is no design yet as he wants a ballpark price first so i phoned a well known supplier for a price. I want 40m² of said vinyl printed and laminated. They said they couldn’t quote until they’ve seen the artwork???
Surely that shouldn’t matter? I’ve given him the size and told him its a full print, surely that should be enough to get at least a rough idea of price?
How am i supposed to give a quote if the supplier can’t give me a price for materials -

Hi Ewan
Bit of a catch 22 for you but I can sort of understand where they are coming from.
If its 40m2 out of 1520mm wide vinyl then assuming the tiling allows you 100% material utilisation and you can you can print to 1500mm width then you need 26.7m linear length of wrap and laminate. However, depending on the van model (shape, size) then in the real world you are going to need a greater length – possibly 35m’s linear length, or even 45m’s – who knows? It all depends on the design and your preferences on tiling, either way it’s still 40m2 of ink but the vinyl length is variable.
Can you not work out how you want it tiled, work out the linear length of vinyl to contain it all and then ask them for a price for XX linear metres of media, and containing a total XX m2 of ink ??
