Price for box truck graphics - what's reasonable ballpark?

(1/1)

Prince Art:
In another part of life, I've been tasked with sourcing vehicle graphics for a box truck, because I'm the guy with experience in the general field of printing. But I have literally no experience with wraps/vinyl. Wondering if any of you guys can give me a baseline price range as to what to expect when I'm talking to vendors.

Basic details are that we're doing 2 sides of a box truck @ about 20'w x 8'h per side, and then an area on the roll up door about 8' x 4'. We'll be supplying art files to meet whatever specs are necessary.

(And thanks to earlier advice on this forum, I won't be trying to wrap this myself!  ;D)

Any help is appreciated!

what is your part of the equation? Are you the guy with the truck looking to have it wrapped or are you looking for a company to wrap vehicles for your customer base? two different models, like contract vs retail. We'd be around 2500-3k on a job like that with 3M -  assuming the vehicle is in great shape, rivets aren't rusted out, no rust anywhere. you'll find guys doing it for 1500.00 without laminating and using cheap vinyl. no good -avoid the lowballers and cheap vinyl. There is a reason it's cheap.

Thanks Homer! I'm the guy with the truck looking to have it wrapped. This is happening apart from my print biz, in my other job. I just get to handle it because I know more about the general field than anyone else involved. Thanks for putting the estimate in there. I got a rough quote of $2k today, but don't recall if vinyl brand was spec'ed. I'll check on that.
