In October of 2012 we published, FAQ: How Much Does a Vehicle Wrap Cost? At that time, we shared ranges of vehicle wrap costs and a few of the variables that affect price. In 2012, we stated a full vehicle wrap could run $1500 to $3000 or more. Since then, we’ve completed wraps for under $1500 and over $4000. Although it’s impossible to create a one-size-fits-all price tag for vehicle wraps—you can come pretty close when you take in a few considerations. So, how much do vehicle graphics cost?
How Much Does a Vehicle Wrap Cost?
The Cost of Wrapping a Car
A full wrap on an average size car is going to be closer to the low end of the range. Depending on the model it could be $1500 or less. Damage to the substrate, removal of existing graphics, extensive artwork, or expensive specialty adhesive vinyl will add to the cost.
Mid-Size Vehicle Wrap Cost
Vans, trucks, SUV’S, and small box trucks will be in the $2000 range for a full wrap, but a full wrap isn’t always necessary. For example, the graphics on the 2 Brothers Pressure Washing truck and trailer aren’t full wraps, but a set of well positioned decals on a black surface. Including substrate preparation, the total cost was well under $2000. Here are a few ideas, Fleet Graphics Coverage Options.

Indiana Motor Truck Association Trailer Wrap
What about the big guys? A complete wrap on a class 8 semi-trailer can cost $3000 to $4000. But once again, a full wrap may not be needed to get the message out. On trailers the condition, construction materials, and de-identification impact the cost.
Material Costs
The quality and expense of the vinyl adhesive material to be applied will affect the cost. The most important thing to remember is to use the material best suited to the application. While it may be overkill to use a seven year warranted material on a vehicle leased for one year, it seldom ends up well to use a cheaper than recommended material only to save a few bucks.

I have a 16 by 6 enclosed trailer I would like to have wrapped. I owned a silver truck, so I bought a silver trailer. I recently traded truck in for a black one and would like to match trailer to truck. I’m looking for a ballpark figure
A lot depends on the variables mentioned in the post, but $2,000 to $3,000 would be a fair guess.
I was thinking about buying a hood and back window decal wrap and was wondering how much would it cost for you to put it on a 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 truck?
Donald, thanks for asking — it could range from less than $100 or 10 times as much, depending on size and material, as well as design and installation costs. Your best bet would be to check with a local provider.
I am buying a penske box truck ( 2014 GMC Savanna G33903 16ft. High cube ) What would an estimated cost to wrap it. I know it depends on several things. But can you give me average based on size. ( per square ft. )
Thanks for asking, it does depend on many variables but a full wrap could run from $2,000 to $4,000.
I have 28, 48 and 53 foot trailers and looking for a plain white wrap on 2 sides. What would be the estimated cost.
As we mention in the post there are so many variables to consider,such as, quality of material, where it’s installed, and number of vehicles. The best advice we can give you is to directly contact a provider, having said that a ball park estimate could run from $3,000 to $4,500 each.
My son is in paintball and I would like an approximate cost to wrap a 4×6 trailer with a custom paintball wrap
Thanks for asking. There are too many variables to pin down a price without going into it further. It could be a few hundred dollars for cut decals or two thousand for a full wrap depending on design, materials,and installation. Our best advice would be to talk with a local provider and discuss all of your options.
What if i have what i need in the picture of what i want my wrap to look like. Would that help on the cost?
If you’re asking about design most, reputable vehicle graphics providers have designers on staff who can help you with your design ideas.
Your team did a great job on a sign for Truck and Trailer at west Epler Indianapolis. Would like to get a wrap of same thing for my trailer with Lyons truck and trailer logo plus my logo. Could also add your company name and logo also if we can work on a 3 way price. 1/3 paid by each party.
Thanks David we’ll be in touch!
How much would be standard cost for the designs only?
Thanks for asking. However, there is no one standard cost for a design. Your best bet wold be to share your design ideas with a provider. Have a great day.
