The lifespan of a vinyl wrap can vary, depending on how well it’s maintained over the years, weather and external factors and the quality of material initially used for branding. We can provide vinyl for long term use or short term exposure, for example a weekend showcase if needed.

Not only will a wrap not damage the painted surface of your vehicle, if the paint is factory paint the wrap will protect that surface and preserve the quality of the paint underneath. If removed correctly, the vinyl won’t leave any residue, or peel any paint or clear coat with it.

Application times vary according to the size of the vehicle and complexity of the project. A vehicle with a lot of complex curves take a lot longer to do. The initial preparation for branding also needs to be taken into account, for example: printing, cut and prep of the vinyl.

Step 1:

Contact us for specials on components and machines.Once you have your machine operating and have purchased the components you need, you can start making your badges.

Creating your badge:

Any printing programme such us Microsoft publisher, print master or even windows can be used to create your badge. We will provide you with a template to create the correct size circles which you can colour in the background, add pictures from clip art and wording with word art. If you have access to the internet you have access via clipart on line to thousands of pictures. Businesses looking for badges will also often do the art work and send it to you. Just ensure you give them the correct size. Copy this onto the template, print and cut. Surfing the web for badges and stickers will give you some excellent ideas.

Printing:

You should use a good quality printer, and 80 gram paper. If you do not have a printer or are making a large quantity of badges you should look at getting quotes from your local Printer.

Marketing:

It is a good idea to have a sticker with your business name and phone number on the back of the badge as people often look at a badge and ask where a person bought it.

Pricing:

This is always difficult and there will need to be a sliding scale for larger orders and vary from size to size. As a guide line, for 1000 badges the price would vary from R3-00 (25mm) to R6-00 each for the 75mm. Smaller quantities would command higher prices of around R5-00 to R15-00 each. Fridge magnets, key rings and bottle openers would be more.

Should you get a large order that your machine cannot cope with or an order for a size you don’t make, do not give up on the order, call us, get a quote, add-on your commission and make some money while acting as the middle man. It is not uncommon to get orders from Corporate companies of 10 000 and more.
