Commercial vehicles earn money when they are on the road, so a branding job has to be planned. The six steps below keep the work predictable for you and for our installers. Timelines are never guessed; they are confirmed on your quotation once the scope is known.
The six steps
1. Tell us about your vehicles. Send the vehicle type, photos, dimensions and your logo through the quote builder or by calling us. Fleets can list the mix of body types in one request.
2. Receive your quotation. We prepare a written quotation setting out the scope, materials, material warranties as per the manufacturer, timing and payment terms.
3. Approve your design. We prepare the artwork on the correct vehicle template. You check it, request changes and approve it in writing. Printing starts only after approval.
4. We print and prepare. Graphics are printed on the material type specified on your quotation, laminated where the application requires it, then cut and organised panel by panel for installation.
5. We install and quality-check. The surface is cleaned and checked, graphics are applied, edges and seams are finished, and the result is inspected before the vehicle is handed over.
6. Back on the road. You receive the vehicle along with care guidance so that the branding lasts. See the wrap care guide.
Artwork approval
Approval is the point where a design becomes a commitment, so we treat it seriously. You will see the artwork placed on the vehicle outline, with measurements and colours indicated. Please check spelling, phone numbers, web addresses and registration or fleet details line by line, because these are the errors that cost most to correct after printing.
For fleets, we approve one master layout and then confirm the unit-specific details, such as fleet numbers, separately.
Site installation
If installation is at your depot or premises, we confirm the arrangements before the day: access, shelter from wind and rain, space around the vehicle, power and a clean, dry surface. Site work is subject to location, project size, site conditions and scheduling, and your quotation states what applies.
Work outside Gauteng is done by our team travelling or by approved installation partners, confirmed at quotation.
At a glance
Our vehicle branding process runs in six clear steps, from the first photo of your vehicle to the finished installation. Commercial vehicles earn money when they are on the road, so every job is planned around scope, artwork approval and careful fitting. You start by sending vehicle details, your logo and photos through the quote builder, after which we confirm what is to be branded and prepare a written quotation.
Design follows on a vehicle template so that you can see how the layout sits across panels, doors, curtains and windows before anything is printed. Once you approve the artwork, production begins and installation is scheduled, either at our Rivonia studio by appointment or on site at your depot or yard where the project allows. The vehicle branding process is the same whether you have a single bakkie or a fleet of trucks and buses, and it works for customers in Johannesburg, Sandton, Pretoria, Midrand, Centurion, Durban, Cape Town and further afield. Read on to understand each stage, what we need from you and how approval and handover work. Questions about any step are welcome at any point.
Common questions
How long does the process take?
Timing depends on the scope, material and installation arrangements, and is confirmed on your quotation.
Can I request changes to the design?
Yes, before approval. Changes after approval, once production has started, may affect cost and timing.
