brilliant wraps mate… you really have turned those trucks into eye catching billboard adverts. well done George… top notch mate!
although large flat trucks, close inspection shows a mass of corrugations. nightmare! 😕
thanks for posting your work mate. 😀

Corrugations are a nightmare 👿 they make the people who make rivet brushes stay in business because there are so many rivets in the corrugations. The top few are 53′ trailers and the bottom ones are 48′ trailers.

excellent george, would love a go at that!

That must have been a nightmare!
What technique do your guys use to keep the panels lined up? I often find this is a difficult part of doing wraps.

One man on scaffolding/ladder on top hanging the panel, and the other at the bottom setting the panel lined up.

George, another great looking job. I never get tired of looking at the work you have done, thanks for sharing it with us.

It’s not whenever I’ve done it!
I imagine it’s slightly easier on a truck though as you can butt the first piece right up against the end whereas when doing vans you have an area of bleed and it’s hard to get the first panel dead vertical to ensure the other panels don’t run out.

to be honest mate, i think its maybe easier on a van mate.
on a truck you can start at one side and work to the other, but you are then trusting the couchbuilder his box is 100% square. ok, so they are just about anyway, but what i mean is, starting at one side and working your way along 44ft plus some… each tile at a time, the drift up, down and out of alignment happens. I actually did this once when fitting a full wrapped 44ft truck for (mcrod aka rod gray from the boards) about 16 months ago… by the time i had panel 4 on i knew i was in bother and managed to gradually bring the panels back into line and carry on. but it was touch and go for a bit… if it hadnt worked ide have lost 7no. 100"x52" printed and laminated panels. (not good :-?) i learned by that lesson i can tell you… :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:
anyway, what i mean by the vans being easier to alighn… is because you can use the joins in the panels to get your straight lign. even if for some reason that was out a little, you are only actually using about four vertical panels so the gradual running off is very minimal. (if that makes sense? :-?)
when i do large 44ft truck rears i now always make sure i have a large bleed top and bottom. depending on how many straight lines there is on the design, i will actually start from the "middle" of the truck, working my way out each way.. -
Like Robert has mentioned already about the "drifting" of panels, that is usually the installers worst fear (other then the measurements being wrong). As a general rule of thumb I make the safety area 5" on all sides with 2.5" of bleed top and bottom and 5" bleed left and right. Those are general numbers for the 44ft & 48ft trailers, for the 53ft ones I like to add a little more just to be safe. Overlaps usually .50" – .75". The best thing u can do is to layout the panels 1 by 1 down the side of the trailer, that way you have a better understanding of where things will fall. The corrugations usually add 4-5" to your overall design size because of the material having to go in and out of them.
