Design
Capture vehicle/surface dimensions, pull the manufacturer template, photograph panels, doors, and curves, and note any prep issues (rust, dents, aftermarket trim).
We will also gather any neccesary Information that will be included on the vehicle.. (Logos, Pantones, ect.)
Proof Review
Build the layout to template, render it on the vehicle mockup, send for written sign-off on colors, coverage, and placement
Printing/Lamination
Print, followed up with a laminate for UV/abrasion protection, then contour-cut and panel out the wrap for install.
Dropoff/Installation
We prefer you bring it washed, otherwise we will charge to wash, decontaminate, and IPA-wipe every panel; remove or loosen trim and hardware as needed so the vinyl lays into the edges clean with full coverage.
Vehicle Pickup
We walk the vehicle with the customer and hand off wash/care instructions.
Stickers/Basic Signage
Design/Specs
Lock size, quantity, material, and where it's going (indoor/outdoor, window-in vs window-out, vehicle door).
Proof Review
Setup the artwork to be print-ready, confirming bleed and cut lines, send proof for sign-off.
Printing/Lamination
Print and laminate as needed, then contour- or die-cut and weed.
Finalization
Quality check on all work performed, and prep for delivery
Boat Names
Survey
Measure the transom/hullside area, confirm the exact name spelling, hailing port, and any registration text required.
Design
Lay out the name and graphics scaled to the transom/hullsides, mock it up on a photo, get written approval on spelling, font, and size.
Cut and Prep
Cut marine-grade vinyl, weed, and apply premask so the layout transfers as one unit.
Installation
Clean and IPA-wipe the gelcoat, mark centerlines and level reference so placement is square.
Completion
Go over any maintenance questions or options to protecting the vessel
