			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Installations is a very important step in completing successful wrap project. Most of the wrap companies provide professional installation service which includes certain undisclosed number of steps, to ensure your satisfaction. However there is a lot of details that could greatly influence the cost of the wrap and it final outcome. By default on commercial applications, door handles are not removed and the vinyl is simply cut and tucked under them. In most cases this practice is perfectly fine and overall look of the graphics is not compromised.</p>
<p>We offer you a choice to have your door handles, headlights and taillights removed before installation. In certain cases like when using solid colour vinyl or specialty vinyls like 3M Carbon Fibre, it would be recommended to spend additional time and remove as much as possible to ensure seamless installation. Vinyl can be tucked in properly when the lights are off the car, and there is no issues with slight vinyl shrinkage due to temperature changes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vehicle vinyl is offered in variety of colours which could be used to change the colour of the vehicle. It is a temporary solution and the change is fully reversible. Vinyl will not only give you a new cool look but it will also protect the paint. No colour damage from UV rays or stone chips. The popular finishes are matte black, matte grey and 3M Di-Noc carbon fibre. There is many other colours available to choose from. Colour vinyl application is more time consuming than traditional printed wraps, which are designed for marketing purposes only. Making this conversion to work requires extra steps, mainly in the preparation of the vehicle. Removal of lights, door handles etc. might be crucial to the successful outcome of the project. Our Mini Cooper, originally a white car, is wrapped with 3M matte black.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>3M wrap vinyl has air release channels, a characteristic of comply adhesive. This feature may be found in films with either pressure-activated or pressure-sensitive adhesive that is permanent, changeable or removable. Comply adhesive is a versatile technology with multiple versions. The original comply adhesive has a slightly visible pattern on the film surface. A designation like “Cv2” or “Cv3” indicates a different comply pattern. In these two cases, the pattern is virtually invisible, and the Cv3 version features improved air bleed. Removing and attempting to change a film liner or reapplying the same vinyl piece damages air release channels.</p>
<p>TIP. When applying graphics, always work from the center out to the edges of the graphic to allow trapped air to exit through the air release channels. If the channels are closed off by firm pressure and air is trapped, use an air release tool to aid in removing air bubbles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Window graphics are catching on across Canada. Store managers and business owners alike are utilizing window graphics to round out their branding efforts. &#8220;We’ve seen a tremendous increase in the number of inquiries this year and we expect the growth to snowball into the near future&#8221; says Mike Kowanda, manager of VehicleGraphix.ca. &#8220;It’s much more convenient than putting out a mobile sign, you have a lot more flexibility with the design, and you benefit from savings in the cost of utilities.&#8221;</p>
<p>So what exactly is a window graphic? It’s basically laminated vinyl on which a full colour image is printed. This adhesive vinyl is applied to a glass window by a skilled professional. It provides additional privacy and also improves your office&#8217;s heating and cooling efficiency. It is transparent and barely noticible from the inside. It leaves no marks or residue on the glass and after a period of time it can be easily removed or replaced with a new one.<br style="font-size: 10px;" /><br style="font-size: 10px;" />Clients like the fact that there is almost no limitation to what can be put on their window: it can advertise a limited-time promotion, special event or occasion. &#8220;They like the possiblility of marketing a certain image while making sure it stays consistent with their corporate identity&#8221;, says Kowanda. <br style="font-size: 10px;" /><br style="font-size: 10px;" />Store and business owners should make sure they hire a company that specializes in vinyl wraps. &#8220;I wouldn’t recommend just walking into any sign shop and asking for one&#8221;, Kowanda adds, &#8220;Experience is the key factor here.&#8221; If you&#8217;ve ever considered window graphics or vehicle wraps, <a href="http://www.vehiclegraphix.ca/index-5.html" target="_top">contact us</a> for more details and options available to you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For businesses looking to add “wheels” to their advertising programs, a road warrior has come to town. It’s on the job 24/7, is cost-effective and can get you noticed in ways that no other advertising can. “It” is the newest trend in outdoor marketing known as vehicle wraps. “Wrapping” a vehicle is easier than it sounds. Wraps are full-colour high-resolution printed vinyl graphics applied directly to the surface of cars, buses, vans and even small trailers. Thanks to a protective laminate, the wraps are durable, washable and resistant to sun fading.</p>
<p>An investment in vehicle wrap advertising can pay off for nearly five to six years which is the approximate life of the wrap. Companies of all sizes can move away from some of the traditional forms of mass advertising and reach many more potential customers – even while going about their personal business. <br style="font-size: 10px;" /><br style="font-size: 10px;" />According to the Traffic Audit Bureau for Media Measurement, vehicle wrap advertising can generate 30,000 to 70,000 daily vehicular impressions. It can be used to target special events, specific audiences or to promote a full-line products or services. <br style="font-size: 10px;" /><br style="font-size: 10px;" />This is a great way to build awareness and generate interest in your business in a way no other marketing strategy can. An added side benefit: the wrap protects paintwork against sun damage, minor abrasions and chipping. It is easily removed leaving the original paint in the condition it was in before it was covered. If you are leasing company vehicles, you can be confident in returning them with no exterior paint damage. If you ever considered using vehicle wrap &#8211; now is the time to take action</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All substrates must be considered contaminated and must be cleaned prior to application of vinyl. If the substrate has dirt or loose paint on it, that is what the vinyl adheres to &#8211; not the substrate itself. If the vinyl does not make enough contact with a clean, dry substrate, it will not stick well, leading to premature graphic failure. Perform the final substrate cleaning step immediately before applying the vinyl. Dust and other contaminants can collect quickly on the substrate and prevent the vinyl from adhering properly. Be sure the substrate, rivets and seams are thoroughly dry. Vinyl adheres poorly even to a properly cleaned substrate if there is any moisture around the rivets and seams.</p>
