When wrapping a van, preparation is everything.
We’re seeing more and more people using AI to create van wrap designs — and to be fair, the designs can look fantastic.
But there’s one thing AI often fails to recognise… the actual shape of the van.
A van isn’t a flat canvas. You have curves, panels, doors, handles, badges, windows, number plates, hinges and all sorts of obstacles that have to be taken into consideration.
Get the positioning wrong and lettering placed across a curve can quickly become distorted. What looks perfect on a computer screen may look very different once it’s applied to the vehicle.
That’s why good van wrapping starts long before the vinyl is printed.
At Signs Express Stockport, we consider the vehicle itself, the panel shapes and all those little details that make the difference between a design that simply looks good on screen and a wrap that looks fantastic on the road.
AI can create the design. Experience makes it work. 🚐
