Client Spotlight · June 2026
Two Dodge ProMaster City vans, transformed into rolling billboards for one of Miami’s most talked-about new beverage brands. Here is how the project came together.
Oishii Sake makes an all-natural, low-calorie sake spritz — a ready-to-drink cocktail built on premium American-grown rice, Blue Ridge Mountain water, and real fruit, with zero added sugar. It is a brand built around a clean, modern story, and their fleet needed to say that at a glance, parked or moving.
Two Dodge ProMaster City vans for daily delivery and event runs across Miami. The goal: make every delivery double as brand exposure, with a design vibrant enough to stand out in traffic but clean enough to match Oishii’s premium positioning.
Both ProMaster City vans now run a full wrap featuring Oishii’s can artwork and brand colors, turning every Miami delivery route into mobile advertising. Compact cargo vans like the ProMaster City are an ideal canvas for beverage brands — enough surface area for bold graphics, small enough to navigate tight urban streets and parking for events.
A 2-vehicle fleet like this typically takes 2–3 business days from final design approval to completed installation at our Doral facility.
Yes — its boxy panel shape gives clean, unbroken surface area for bold can-art and logos, while its compact footprint makes it easy to park at events and navigate dense urban delivery routes.
Absolutely — we regularly adapt existing brand assets like can or bottle artwork into vehicle-ready graphics, scaled and adjusted to fit panel curves and proportions correctly.
Process Guide · Updated June 2026
Most business owners only see the finished result. Here's what actually happens behind the scenes — from first call to driving off with a fully wrapped fleet.
A fleet wrap isn’t just printing a design and slapping it on a truck. Rushed measurements, poor surface prep, or skipped design revisions are the most common reasons a wrap looks great in a mockup but disappointing on the actual vehicle — misaligned graphics across panels, bubbling at curves, or a logo that gets awkwardly cut by a door seam.
Knowing what the process should look like helps you spot a rushed job before you commit to it.
Very. We measure each vehicle individually rather than using generic templates, because even small variations between model years can shift where graphics need to wrap around panels, mirrors, and door handles.
Yes — revisions are included before production. We won't move to printing and installation until you've approved a final proof.
Our installers catch most alignment issues before they become a problem, but every job ends with a walkthrough where you can flag anything before signing off.
For fleets of 3 or more vehicles, we recommend booking 1–2 weeks out to allow for proper design time and staggered installation scheduling, so you're never without your full fleet on the road.
Durability Guide · Updated June 2026
Heat, humidity, and constant sun exposure are the real test for any vehicle wrap. Here's what actually determines how long yours will hold up — and how to get the most years out of it.
Most premium cast vinyl wraps last 5–7 years in South Florida when installed correctly and maintained with basic care. That’s shorter than the 7–10 year range you might see quoted for cooler, drier climates — Miami’s combination of intense UV, high humidity, and salt air in coastal areas is genuinely harder on vinyl than most of the country.
Fleet vehicles that stay outdoors 24/7 — as opposed to garaged personal vehicles — tend to land on the shorter end of that range, which is one more reason material quality and installation technique matter more here than almost anywhere else in the country.
Three factors do most of the damage: direct sun exposure without shade breaks, improper installation that traps air or moisture under the vinyl, and harsh washing methods like high-pressure commercial car washes with rotating brushes. None of these are usually obvious problems until 18–24 months in, when fading, lifting, or cracking starts to show.
Fleets that spend the most time outdoors — like construction trucks and electrical contractor vans — benefit most from the UV laminate overcoat and premium cast vinyl we specify for every South Florida job.
Some gradual fading is normal after 3–4 years even with premium vinyl. We always recommend a UV-resistant laminate overcoat for fleet vehicles that stay outdoors, which significantly slows this process.
Salt air doesn't damage vinyl directly the way it corrodes metal, but it does accelerate grime buildup that can trap moisture at edges if not washed regularly. Coastal fleets should wash slightly more often.
Sometimes — it depends on how localized the fading is. We can often patch or refresh individual panels rather than rewrapping the entire vehicle, which saves on cost.
Materials Guide · Updated June 2026
Not all vinyl is the same, and the difference shows up fast in Florida heat. Here's what separates premium cast vinyl from the cheap stuff — and why it matters for your fleet.
Every vehicle wrap starts as one of two vinyl types: cast or calendered. Cast vinyl is manufactured by pouring liquid PVC onto a casting sheet, which lets it conform to curves, rivets, and complex panel shapes without lifting. Calendered vinyl is rolled under heat and pressure into thin sheets — cheaper to produce, but stiffer and more prone to shrinking back from edges over time.
For commercial fleets that stay outdoors year-round in Miami’s sun, that difference compounds fast. A calendered wrap that looks fine on day one can start lifting at the edges within 12–18 months.
3M and Avery Dennison are the two manufacturers that consistently pass independent durability testing for outdoor, high-UV environments like South Florida. Both produce cast vinyl rated for 5–7 years of direct sun exposure when properly installed and maintained — a meaningful difference from no-name vinyl that’s often rated for indoor or short-term use only.
For a one-time event wrap, maybe not. For a fleet vehicle on the road every day in Florida sun, yes — cheap vinyl typically fades, lifts, or cracks within 1–2 years versus 5–7 years for premium cast vinyl.
Not on day one. The difference shows up after 6–12 months outdoors, which is exactly why it matters to ask your installer which brand and grade of vinyl they use before signing.
Yes — we back every installation with a 1-year warranty on materials and workmanship, in addition to manufacturer warranties on the vinyl itself.
/01 ——— PRICING GUIDE · UPDATED 2026
Real pricing from a local Miami wrap shop — no fluff, no bait-and-switch. Commercial wraps, fleet pricing, and every factor that changes the final number.
Vehicle wrap pricing in Miami typically runs 10–15% higher than the national average — the heat, humidity, and UV intensity here demand premium materials and more careful installation.
| Wrap Type | Vehicle Size | Price Range | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Partial Wrap | Any | $1,200–$2,500 | 1–2 days |
| Commercial / Branded | Sedan | $1,800–$3,500 | 2–3 days |
| Commercial / Branded | Van / Truck | $2,500–$5,000 | 3–4 days |
| Fleet (3+ vehicles) | Mixed | Ask for quote | Per unit |
Vehicle Size & Complexity
More surface area = more material and labor. Deep body lines and recesses require more skill and time.
Material Choice
Gloss, matte, satin, chrome, color-shift, and textured finishes all vary significantly in cost per square foot.
Design Complexity
A solid color change is cheaper than a full custom-printed graphic design with gradients and branding.
Vehicle Condition
Paint chips, rust, or previous wrap residue require prep work that adds labor hours to your job.
Coverage Area
Full wrap vs. partial vs. just the hood and roof — coverage is one of the biggest price levers.
Removal of Old Wrap
Removal typically adds $300–$800 depending on age and condition of the existing wrap.
A full wrap covers every painted surface. A partial wrap covers 25–75% — popular for commercial vehicles wanting strong brand visibility without full coverage cost.
Color change jobs need full coverage so no factory paint shows through panel gaps. Also gives complete UV and rock-chip protection underneath.
For commercial vehicles with a matching base color, sides and rear deliver 90% of brand impact at 50–60% of the cost.
Fleet jobs (3+ vehicles) unlock volume pricing. Fleet pricing typically runs 15–25% lower per unit versus single-vehicle rates. We stagger scheduling to keep your fleet on the road.
| Vehicle Type | Coverage | Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Pickup Truck | Full wrap | $1,800–$3,200 |
| Cargo Van | Full wrap | $2,500–$4,000 |
| Box Truck (14–20ft) | Full wrap | $3,500–$6,500 |
Industries We Wrap
Costs vary by vehicle type, fleet size, and industry. Here are the most common commercial wrap categories we handle in Miami and South Florida:
How long does a vehicle wrap last in Miami?
With 3M or Avery cast vinyl and proper care, wraps last 5–7 years in Florida. See how our installation process protects your wrap from day one. Cheaper calendered vinyl may fail in 1–2 years due to UV and heat.
Does a wrap damage my paint?
No — when installed and removed correctly, a wrap actually protects your paint from UV and rock chips.
Can I wrap a leased vehicle?
Yes. Wraps are fully removable and won’t affect your lease return as long as paint was in good condition before installation.
How do I care for my wrap in Miami?
Hand wash or touchless car wash only. Avoid automated brushes, direct sunlight parking when possible, and wax — use wrap-specific detailer.
How much does fleet wrapping cost?
Commercial van and truck wraps run $2,500–$5,000 per unit. Fleet discounts (3+ vehicles) bring that down 15–25%. Contact us for a custom quote within 24 hours.
What’s included in the price?
Every quote includes design, premium 3M or Avery vinyl, professional installation, and a walkthrough before your vehicle leaves our Doral facility. No hidden fees.
