What Is a Vehicle Wrap Installer and How to Become One

Many businesses and other organizations have company cars that need logos, advertisements, or decals put on their cars. Additionally, private citizens can lease the outside of their vehicle to a company who uses the vehicle to advertise products or services. A vehicle wrap installer places different types of these decals, advertisements, logos, and other wrappers on the outside of cars. Your duties include cleaning the car before any installation, fixing the decals or wraps in the proper place, and ensuring they are secure. Your other responsibilities include washing cars, ensuring paint is not affected, redoing vinyl or acrylic painting, and ensuring you place the graphic or logo where it is most visible.

Vehicle wrap designers do not need formal educational qualifications beyond a high school diploma or GED certificate, but you do need some professional experience if your duties extend to the vehicle’s paint job. You can get training at a vocational school or community college, or you can train under a more experienced vehicle wrap installer, graphic designer, or sign maker. It is helpful to have some experience with cleaning cars as well. In addition to any formal training, you need strong visual and graphic design skills, good customer service, and attention to detail.
