Learn How To Wrap A Box Truck Like A Pro

In today's video, we will guide you through the process of wrapping a box truck. For this project we used 3M cast vinyl for easy application and long term durability. It’s highly recommended to use a reputable brand for longevity and quality finish. Last thing you want is a customer to come back after a year or two complaining about the wrap lifting or any other issues due to cheap vinyl. Prior to starting, it is essential to ensure that the surface is cleaned and wiped down using 70% isopropyl alcohol to eliminate any traces of dirt, grease, or road tar. Once the surface is prepared, lay out all the panels to confirm accurate overlaps and verify that the tiling has been done correctly. As you can see our installer is measuring from the top straight edge of the box truck to the text on both ends of the panel to confirm it’s straight and level as this will be the base panel. After confirming the correctness of overlaps and panel placement, initiate the wrapping process one panel at a time. Use a squeegee to push down the material from the center towards the left and right, employing a small overlap stroke while keeping some tension on the vinyl as you go down. Upon completing each panel, use a propane torch or heat gun to wrap the rivets. Heat approximately 4-5 rivets at a time and then firmly press down the vinyl using a roller pro tool. Once all the rivets have been addressed, trim any excess material at the top and bottom using a utility knife. Always remember to use a fresh blade to ensure precise and clean cuts. Proceed to the following panel, tear a small section of the backing, and establish a hinge on both sides. Ensure that the text and design elements align seamlessly with the adjacent panel, emphasizing a smooth design transition. Take your time in ensuring the accuracy of your overlap, and avoid rushing the process. Apply the same technique to the remaining panels. Inspect the next day for any bubbles or lifting before the truck leaves your shop. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications to determine the ideal operating temperature for the specific vinyl you are using.
