ZR Graphics is West Michigan's source for vehicle wraps, partial vehicle wraps, bus wraps, boat wraps, fleet vehicle wraps, car wraps, monster truck wraps, and custom vehicle graphics. Car vinyl decals are seen every time you watch a Nascar race or see a Grand Prix race. These vehicles reach high speeds and need to hold up to the rigors of racing. The vehicle wraps on these cars need to hold up as well and look good at the same time! We use the same quality wrap vinyl that these race professionals use for their vehicle wraps.
The technology involved in a vehicle wrap brings high-tech materials, professional installation and craftsmanship into one discipline that requires high attention to detail and preparation to make it look great and make it last. The next best thing to getting a vehicle wrap would be a custom paint job. Only issues is that it can't be easily replaced or changed without spending several thousands more. The sign industry took a major step forward when it introduced cut vinyl lettering that could be computer cut and applied. Besides making the art of hand painting letters a lost skill, it started the constant evolution of materials and methods for getting messages on everyday surfaces we see and use all the time.
Cut vinyl letters are useful for simple signs and vehicle lettering like USDOT numbers, but they have limits in application. This is where wrap vinyl comes into play. Companys like 3M, AVERY, ORACAL, ARLON & MACTAC have developed wrap quality vinyls with amazing elastic properties that conform and adhere to vehicle surfaces and complex curves. There are a few factors that contribute to the paint like finish and WOW factor of a quality vehicle wrap. Look for these when considering a wrap for your vehicle.

Vehicle Wraps come in all varieties from jet skis, motorcycles, snow mobiles, cars, trucks, vans, boats, busses, and even monster trucks! The first step in gettin your _______wrapped is to schedule a visit with our staff designers and print consultants to determine the details of your wrap project. Bring the vehicle in if possible or the measurements of the areas you wish to wrap. Pictures help us see what level of difficulty your wrap will be, so bring those along as well. Once you are ready to proceed, we create mock ups or proofs of what your vehicle will look like. These proofs are a very good representation of what you will see as an end result, because our designers will work on various scales to make sure all the graphics fall where they should to maximize the visual. Once all the proofs are approved, we can schedule an install time that fits into your vehicle's availability and guarantee a return time to minimize your vehicle's downtime.
