Services
Fleet Vehicle Wrapping
Transform commercial fleets with durable vinyl wraps that enhance brand visibility. Our full and partial wraps protect paintwork while creating mobile advertising platforms. With nationwide installation capabilities and minimal operational disruption, we ensure consistent branding across multiple vehicles. Our 3M-certified installers provide 8-year warranties on all materials.
Paint Protection Film
Preserve vehicle paintwork with transparent polyurethane protection film. Applied to high-impact areas or full coverage, our 3M Scotchgard PPF resists scratches and stone chips. The self-healing properties maintain appearance while ceramic coating options enhance durability. Ideal for both commercial fleets and private vehicle owners seeking long-term protection.
Traxx Framing Systems
Revolutionary high-tension aluminium framing for quick-change vehicle graphics. This patented system allows tool-free banner replacement in minutes, perfect for evolving marketing campaigns. With over 10,000 installations in the UK, our Traxx solutions combine durability with marketing flexibility for commercial fleets.
Air Cleaning Livery
Innovative pollution-reducing vehicle wraps using Clean Air by Resysten technology. The nano-titania coating actively breaks down NOx emissions through photocatalysis. Each treated trailer can remove 5.18kg of NOx annually, equivalent to 1.54 tonnes of CO2 reduction, combining brand promotion with environmental responsibility.
Vehicle Livery Design
Professional design support from concept to completion. Our team utilises Adobe Creative Suite and 3D visualisation tools to create impactful vehicle graphics. With expertise in brand consistency and regulatory compliance, we ensure designs maximise visibility while meeting technical requirements for commercial vehicles.
