Semi-Truck & Trailer Wraps: 9 Things to Know

Our semi-trucks are our livelihood, but there is a way to use that semi-truck and the trailers they pull in your company’s best interest. Optimize the space on your semi-truck and trailers for company advertising. Think about it, when your trucks and trailers are moving down the road, they’re a blank slate that could be filled with your company branding and more.

There are several things you need to know about semi-truck and trailer wraps, which is why we put this blog together for you. Here are nine important things you need to know. 

1. Utilize the Mobile Advertising Power in Your Fleet

Every semi-truck and trailer in your fleet is essentially a large moving billboard. Each of these vehicles can reach a vast audience across many locations, which makes them an incredibly potent advertising tool. Wraps will make the best use of that blank slate in any way you see fit. 

You can advertise your branding, mission statement, or monthly deals you’re running. Another option is quotes from satisfied customers. The point is to use that blank space to your company’s advantage. 

2. How Much Does a Semi-Truck or Trailer Wrap Cost?

The cost of putting an advertising wrap on your semi-truck or trailer depends on several things. Our wraps work on fuel tanks, diesel trucks, and eighteen-wheelers. A certified install wrap professional can even wrap Peterbilt trucks. But before we can give a quote, we need to talk to you to find out exactly what you want. For the most part, you can expect to pay between $2,000 and $5,000, depending on the size of your truck, the area you select, and the quality and complexity of the wrap. Contact us for a free quote!

3. How Long Will a Wrap Last on a Semi-Truck or Trailer?

Wraps last a lot longer than you think. A well-installed wrap on a semi-truck or trailer typically lasts between five and seven years. Of course, the wrap needs to be cared for properly, and it depends on the materials used and how they were installed.

4. Is the Wrap Covered by a Warranty?

Yes. When a good install wrap company installs a wrap on your semi-truck or trailer, a warranty for the parts and work should come with the package. Certified Install Wraps offers a warranty on all of our work, because we always do it right the first time. 

5. Will the Vinyl Wrap Company Help With Design

Of course. Here at Certified Install Wraps, we have experts who can help you design the advertisement for your semi-truck or trailer. A few design tips you’ll learn are clarity, focus on your branding, and how to target your audience. 

6. Wrap Quality Matters

Selecting the right wrap installers is essential. You don’t want to go with a service that uses sub-par vinyl. You want a place that uses high-quality vinyl with a durable laminate to withstand weather elements and maintain the best appearance over time. 

7. Hire a Professional Install Wrap Service

While the internet is full of DIY options for everything, wrapping your semi-truck and/or trailer with your ads or branding is something you should hire a professional to do. Professional services have experts who have a wealth of experience in wrapping all kinds of vehicles, including semi-trucks and trailers. Doing it yourself opens the door for costly errors. 

8. Full or Partial Wraps are Available

Depending on what you are looking to do, there are several options for wrapping your full semi-truck or trailer. You can wrap a portion to highlight specific areas like the fuel tank or side panels. 

9. Wraps Offer Immense Benefits 

Wrapping your semi-truck or trailer offers your business other amazing benefits. 

• The wrap will protect the sides of your semi-truck or trailer, which lengthens the life of the original paint job. 
• It creates a unique and memorable visual identity. 
• Wraps offer an incredible way to advertise your business and display your branding.
