I asked our new intern to write about his experience in helping out with our in-house vehicle wrap project. I thought it would be a good experience for him to learn about the wrap process as well as to enhance his writing skills. He wrote the following:
“I’m Steven, the new intern at Sign Works, and recently I assisted with a vehicle wrap on the SignWorks shop truck. I learned many new things just from this experience. I learned that the material for wrapping vehicles is different than the type used for other vinyl graphics projects. I also learned that you can’t rush to complete the job. It takes more time to complete the wrap because you need to insure that there are no bubbles or creases in the vinyl. It was also more complicated than I original thought it was going to be. From start to finish the job was a lot of fun and a very beneficial experience for me.
We also put graphics on to the rear windows using another type of vinyl called window perforation. It was similar in some ways but unlike the other vinyl that could be heated to release bubbles or crinkles. No heat was applied on the material for the windows. Also, the material for the windows has small holes so that the driver can see through them from inside. It was interesting seeing how the vinyl was cut to fit around various plastic molded pieces. These special techniques and cuts made for a very finished look when the project was complete. I enjoyed working with both types of vinyl and learning how to apply and seal wrap vinyl on a vehicle.
If you or your company is thinking about a full or partial vehicle wrap you should call SignWorks at (510) 357-2000. I look forward to assisting on your vehicle project as well!”
