Stand Out · Car wrap pricing
What a car wrap actually costs in Cape Town.
A straight explanation of what drives vehicle wrapping prices, so you can compare quotes properly and know what to send us for an accurate number.
The short answer
Why nobody can quote your wrap from a price list
Car wrapping is priced on material and labour, and both change with the vehicle in front of us. A bakkie has more square metres than a hatchback, a van has flat panels that wrap quickly while a modern sedan has curves and recesses that take longer, and vinyl grades differ in cost and lifespan. A published single price would be wrong for most vehicles that arrive.
What we can do is be clear about the levers. Once you know which five factors move the number, you can decide where to spend and where to hold back, and you can compare two quotes on the same terms instead of picking the lower figure and finding out later what was left out.

Compare quotes properly
Ask every supplier these questions
- Which vinyl brand and grade is quoted, and is it laminated?
- Is the quote a full wrap or selected panels only?
- Is design and artwork setup included or billed separately?
- Are handles, bumpers or mirrors removed for cleaner edges?
- How long is the vehicle off the road?
- What happens if a panel lifts after fitting?
Value, not just price
A wrap is advertising space you already pay for
You are already paying for the vehicle, the insurance and the fuel. Branding it is the only additional cost, and it keeps working every time the vehicle is parked outside a job or sitting in traffic. Judged against a month of paid ads, a wrap that lasts years usually looks different on the numbers.
That is also why the cheapest quote is rarely the right one. Thin unlaminated film on a vehicle that lives outdoors in the Cape sun fades and lifts, and refitting costs more than specifying correctly once.
Car wrap pricing questions
There is no single figure. The price is set by the size of the vehicle, how many panels are covered, the vinyl and finish specified, the condition of the paintwork and whether new artwork has to be designed. A small hatchback with door decals and a panel van in a full printed wrap sit at opposite ends of that range, which is why we quote per vehicle instead of publishing one number.
Yes, in almost every case. A partial wrap covers selected panels, usually the sides and rear, so less material is printed and less fitting time is needed. Decals and lettering are cheaper again because only your logo, one service line and contact details are applied.
Vinyl grade and warranty, whether the wrap is printed or a solid colour change film, how many complex curves and recesses have to be wrapped, whether handles and bumpers are removed for a cleaner edge, and how much design time is included. Cheap quotes usually differ on material grade and fitting time rather than on the car.
If your logo is available in a vector or high resolution file and your brand colours are settled, design time is short. If the branding has to be rebuilt first, that is separate work and we will say so upfront rather than hiding it inside the wrap price.
Turnaround depends on coverage and how many vehicles are in the job. Printing, cutting and fitting a single vehicle is planned around your availability, since the car needs to be with us for cleaning, preparation and fitting rather than dropped and collected on the same hour.
Send the make, model and year, photographs of the panels to be covered, the coverage you have in mind and your deadline. That is enough for us to confirm the material, the fitting time and a firm price for your vehicle.
