Vehicle-template aligned
We align artwork to the vehicle template (KPMF, Avery, ORACAL, 3M, manufacturer-supplied). Door cuts, hood seams, and trim transitions are accounted for.
For wrap installers
Wrap-ready vectors that survive the print and the install.
We rebuild raster artwork as production-correct vector files for vehicle wraps — large-format scaled, panel-bleed accounted for, and aligned to wrap templates from KPMF, Avery, ORACAL, or 3M. Hand-built by designers who understand large-format output.
Vehicle wrap installers use VectorWiz to convert customer-supplied artwork into print-and-install-ready vector files. We deliver large-format AI, EPS, SVG, and PDF files with panel-aware bleed, vehicle-template alignment, and resolution scaled for 1:1 print. Files import cleanly into Roland VersaWorks, Onyx, Caldera, ColorGATE, and other wide-format RIPs.
Why production shops standardize on VectorWiz
Panel-aware bleed
Bleed is calculated per panel — typically 4″ around door cuts and trim transitions — so the install survives the wrapping process without exposing the substrate.
Scaled for large-format output
Resolution is sized 1:1 for the final print: minimum 100 DPI at full vehicle scale, 300 DPI for tight detail areas, vector everywhere it matters.
Type already outlined and trapped
Fonts converted to outlines so they print right the first time — and small-text legibility is verified at install distance, not on screen.
Color profile aware
Files delivered with the right ICC profile attached or specified — no surprises when your RIP renders the wrap. Pantone matching where the brand requires it.
Same-day on standard jobs
Most wrap conversion orders ship within 8 business hours during business days. Rush work: email hello@vectorwiz.com for fleet-deadline installs.
How a job moves through VectorWiz
Upload art + vehicle spec
Upload customer artwork. Tell us the vehicle (year, make, model, trim), the wrap material (KPMF, Avery 1105, ORACAL 970RA, 3M IJ180), and any panel-extension requirements.
Instant complexity-based price
Our classifier grades complexity and shows the instant price. Single-vehicle full wrap conversions typically land at Medium or High depending on artwork detail.
Manual rebuild + template fit
Designer rebuilds the vector by hand and aligns to the vehicle template. Bleed added per panel, color profile set, fonts outlined. QC pass against scale comp before delivery.
Print-and-install-ready delivery
AI, EPS, SVG, PDF in one zip. Layered for print (separated by panel where useful), color profile attached, install notes for the wrap team.
What every wrap deliverable contains
Wrap files have to print large, install around three-dimensional curves, and survive trim transitions without showing seams. Every deliverable contains the same artwork in the formats every wrap workflow needs.
| Format | Best for | What we ship |
|---|---|---|
| AI (Adobe Illustrator) | Editing source | Layered file with named layers per panel, fonts outlined, swatches named in Pantone, ICC profile attached. |
| EPS | Older RIP software | Flattened-color EPS with closed paths, sized 1:1. |
| SVG | Web preview, modern proofing tools | Optimized for proof view; not the production output. |
| RIP submission, customer proofing | PDF/X-4 with bleed, ICC profile, fonts outlined. |
Vehicle template alignment — why it matters
A wrap that ignores the vehicle template ends up with logos cut by door seams, text disappearing into trim, or graphics that wrap around curves at the wrong angle. We pre-fit artwork to the template so the install team is dragging panels into place, not redrawing them.
- We align to KPMF, Avery, ORACAL, and 3M templates by default.
- If the template comes from the wrap manufacturer (Wrap Templates Plus, KillerTemplates), we work from theirs.
- Door, hood, fender, and quarter-panel cuts are honored — artwork doesn't span seams in a way that breaks the install.
- Window-perforated areas are flagged with bleed-through markers.
Bleed by panel type
| Panel | Standard bleed |
|---|---|
| Door panel | 4 inches around all four edges |
| Hood panel | 4 inches at front + sides; 2 inches at windshield seam |
| Quarter panel | 4 inches at trim transitions; 6 inches at wheel wells |
| Window perforated | 0.25 inch only — perforation handles the rest |
| Roof panel (full wrap) | 8 inches around all four edges |
Color management for fleet jobs
Fleet wraps are a brand-color-matching problem. We deliver files with the customer's ICC profile attached or with Pantone codes called out per-color. If you're running a Roland VersaWorks 7 with the Avery profile, we can deliver to that profile so your proof-on-screen matches the print.
Frequently asked questions
Direct answers to what production buyers ask before placing their first order. Question missing? Ask us.
What file formats do you deliver wrap conversions in?
AI (the editing source), EPS (for older RIPs), SVG (for web proofing), and PDF/X-4 (production-ready for most modern RIPs). All sized 1:1 for the vehicle, with bleed and color profile applied.
Do you align to the vehicle template?
Yes — we work from KPMF, Avery, ORACAL, 3M templates by default, or whichever template the manufacturer provides. The artwork is pre-fit so the install team isn't redrawing in the field.
How much bleed do you add?
Bleed is per panel: typically 4 inches at door panels and quarter panels, 8 inches on full roof wraps, 0.25 inch on window-perforated areas. Adjusted for the vehicle's actual trim cuts.
Can you match Pantone or fleet brand colors?
Yes. We deliver files with Pantone codes called out per swatch or with the customer's ICC profile attached. For fleet color matching across multiple vehicles, we set up a brand-locked color list.
How fast can you turn around a wrap conversion?
Standard single-vehicle wrap conversions ship within 8 business hours of checkout. Rush work: email hello@vectorwiz.com for fleet deadlines.
Do you handle the wrap design itself, or only conversion?
We're a conversion service — the design comes from your customer or your in-house designer. We rebuild it as a production-correct vector file. If the source needs reillustration, that's priced as a separate complexity tier.
What if the customer-supplied art is low resolution?
We can usually rebuild from a low-res source as a Medium or High complexity job. If the source is so low-res it can't be rebuilt cleanly, we'll flag it on the order and recommend a full reillustration.
Do you ship a print-ready proof I can show the customer?
Yes — the deliverable zip includes a flattened PDF proof at vehicle scale, plus the editable AI source and production EPS/PDF/X-4. The proof is for customer sign-off; the production file is for the press.
