With various companies offering vehicle wrapping and branding services, it is important you pick the right one to look after your vehicles.
Vehicle wrapping, especially, is a service that is still in its infancy, with both suppliers and material manufacturers still trying to improve their product offering. We have been in the market since the beginning, have experimented and researched all methods of production and application, and are now one of the leading vehicle wrapping companies in the UK.
There are basically three ingredients that make up a successful vehicle wrap.

Materials, Print Method, Application

Materials
With each wrap project and every client having their own specific requirements, the correct materials need to be selected to guarantee a successful ‘wrap’. At Raccoon, we only deal with the main material manufacturers, and thoroughly test new materials before entering them onto our specified list. We currently use wrap films and high performance self-adhesive materials produced by 3M, Avery Dennison, Mactac, KPMF and Metamark.

Each supplier offers products to suit varying applications, including:

Durability – From one year to ten years
Easy Remove – Either permanent or removable adhesives
Conformability – High performance wrap films that will cover every contour of a vehicle
Printable – Materials that accept various print methods
Laminates – When extra protection is required, matched laminates are essential

Print Method
Digital print technology is quickly overtaking traditional screen and litho print methods as the preferred production method for durable vehicle graphics. One off’s and shorts runs can be produced economically and quickly, and the size of a graphic is limited only to your imagination. The only downside with digital graphics in the past has been the print quality.
Until Now! We have installed the latest digital print system, The PHOTO X, which produces vibrant, eye catching, photographic quality graphics. Using very durable solvent based inks, printing at a true 720dpi and with the added benefit of a six colour ink set, we offer a print quality that cannot be beaten, and makes our vehicle graphics the best in the business.
Coupled with our Grande X print system, which offers a print width of a massive 3200mm in one piece, you can see that when it comes to printing, we never have to compromise!

Application
The final ingredient in the production of successful vehicle wrapping and high demand vehicle branding is the application of the graphics. This is when training and experience is essential, and where all the planning and careful printing and production of the vehicle’s design result in a great final result. It is essential that the application of graphics takes place under the correct conditions, and all necessary facilities are available, including a dry, warm location with power and lighting. The vehicle needs to be suitably prepared, and thought given to the best course of action. The personnel need to be fully conversant with the skills required to carry out a successful wrap.
Raccoon currently carry out a large amount of work, stripping, re-printing and fitting vehicle wraps for clients who have had an initial bad experience with one of our competitors.
As one of our clients, Simon of HWCH Ltd, stated,
"Be warned, not all vehicle wrapping companies are the same, and we had to find out the hard way!"

Warranties and Guarantees
As an established graphics production company, we offer full, detailed warranties in conjunction with both Avery Commercial Graphics and 3M, two of the World’s leading self-adhesive film manufacturers. We have both approved printing systems and fully trained wrap applicators, which enables us to offer performance warranties on printed graphics of up to five years, and on solid colour graphics of up to eight.
