Compare full vs partial vehicle wraps for cost, visibility, and impact. See how Bananas Creative designs professional wraps that boost your brand on the road.

Branded vehicle wraps turn company vehicles into mobile billboards, building awareness wherever you drive. For many businesses, the challenge is deciding whether a full wrap or partial wrap is the better fit. Each option has unique benefits in cost, visibility, and brand impact. With Bananas Creative, businesses across Alberta can design and install wraps that match their goals and budgets.

What Is a Full Vehicle Wrap?

A full vehicle wrap covers nearly the entire exterior surface, including sides, hood, rear, and sometimes windows using perforated film. This option provides:

  • Maximum visibility with bold brand coverage

  • Space for creative design and messaging

  • Professional presentation that stands out on busy roads

Full wraps typically cost more due to material and installation needs, but they also provide the greatest impact. With proper care, a full wrap can last 5 to 7 years, making it a long-term marketing investment.

What Is a Partial Vehicle Wrap?

A partial wrap covers between 25% and 75% of the vehicle. Graphics are placed strategically on high-visibility areas like doors, the rear, or the hood. Benefits include:

  • Lower cost while still boosting brand recognition

  • Faster installation compared to a full wrap

  • Effective designs that make strong use of color and placement

Partial wraps share the same lifespan as full wraps but use less material, making them a smart option for businesses managing tighter budgets.

Comparing Full and Partial Wraps for Your Business

When choosing between full and partial wraps, consider the following factors:

  • Visibility: Full wraps provide maximum presence, while partial wraps offer targeted exposure.

  • Cost: Full wraps typically range from $3,000 to $5,000+, partial wraps from $1,000 to $3,000 depending on size and design.

  • Design flexibility: Full wraps allow for more creative freedom, while partial wraps require strategic placement.

  • Impact: Full wraps make a bold statement, but partial wraps can deliver strong ROI when designed professionally.

Both options transform vehicles into moving advertisements that generate thousands of impressions daily.

How to Choose the Right Wrap for Your Budget and Goals

The decision depends on your business goals, vehicle fleet size, and budget:

  • Choose a full wrap if you want maximum brand impact, cover a large service area, or need your vehicle to stand out in competitive industries.

  • Choose a partial wrap if you want professional branding at a lower cost, or if you plan to wrap multiple vehicles for fleet consistency.

Discussing your goals with a professional design team ensures you maximize the effectiveness of your investment.
