Remove snow and ice from your vehicle by using a gentle broom or soft cloth instead of an ice scraper. Traditional ice scrapers can damage your vehicle’s wrap.
If your wrap extends to your windows, use your vehicle’s defroster to remove snow and ice.
Remove road salt from your vehicle as quickly as possible. Salt build-up can be corrosive to vinyl and paint. Of course, the best way to clean your vehicle is by hand washing it, but if that’s not possible (because of your aversion to becoming a human ice-cycle, perhaps), run it through a touch-less or brush-less automatic car wash, but skip the wax option.
Gently dry the vehicle with a microfiber cloth. Make sure to include your vehicle’s undercarriage and wheel wells to make sure all of the salt is removed. If the salt is not removed, rust will develop in those areas. Vinyl will not adhere to rust, which could pose a problem in the future for your wrap.

You might ask “Who expands and opens another location during a pandemic?” Well, we did, and we’re so glad we decided to so. Despite the global pandemic, Designer Wraps (aside from a very brief closure in NJ) has seen tremendous growth, along with an opportunity to expand our operations into another State (Mooresville, North Carolina).
Although Designer Wraps North Carolina technically opened back in June 2020, we held our official Grand Opening celebration on November 5th, 2020. During that event, we raffled-off one Free Full Wrap (or up to $2500 towards a wrap) to one lucky winner. The event featured a few of our new neighbors including Black Powder Coffee, Flex Fitness, live music by Elevate Rock School, and food provided by KO Food Truck.
The new location is headed-up by Aaron Bender, GM, who is a previously long-time employee of Designer Wraps NJ and along with a degree in Art, is an Avery Certified Graphics Installer and, along with his team, knows how to get things done, on time and on budget.
The event, along with a brief history on Designer Wraps and its founder Sean Tomlin, were recently featured in the trade magazine GraphicsPro which can be read here.
Designer Wraps North Carolina is located at 131 Crosslake Park Drive, Unit 206, Mooresville, NJ 28117.
We recently came across a really good article on that specific question “Are car wraps a good investment for your (my) small business?” Of course we think so … and we think it’s worth the read which does a good job at explaining why.
As always, should you have any questions about wrapping your car, truck, van or trailer for your small business, please shoot drop us a line via our quick quote form here.

Local Marketing article from Intuit QuickBooks
Have you ever seen a car, truck, or van in your area wrapped in an advertisement? If so, you may have wondered whether these advertisements — known as vehicle wraps — are a worthwhile investment get your small business off the ground or propell it forward.
Below, you’ll find a complete breakdown of what vehicle wraps are and whether you should consider investing in them.
A vehicle wrap is a digitally-printed mobile billboard. Professionals will work with you to craft your advertisement and then print it on vinyl. Professionals print vinyl wraps in full color with eye-catching graphics. After using graphic design software to design your wrap, the individual will then apply the vinyl film to your car.
You can select either a full wrap, which covers the entire vehicle including the windows, or a partial wrap. Even if the wraps cover windows, you won’t have a problem looking through them. A high-quality vinyl wrap typically lasts three to five years.
When you think of marketing techniques, the use of vehicle graphics may not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, you may want to give car wrapping more consideration based on the following statistics:
Based on these metrics, it’s easy to see why small business owners would want to consider choosing vehicle wraps over more traditional forms of advertising.
There is a common misconception that vinyl car wraps are only for companies with large vehicle fleets. However, this is not the case. Even if you don’t own company vehicles, you can still rent a truck or van to advertise your company’s information.
There are now companies that take advantage of the gig economy to provide wrap advertising services. For instance, sites such as Wrapify allow drivers to earn money by wrapping their cars on behalf of third-party companies, like yours.
Taking advantage of these mobile advertisements could legitimize your small business and introduce your brand and logo to customers in your area. When small business owners use vehicle wraps, it puts them on the same playing field as companies large enough to maintain vehicle fleets.
The cost of vinyl wraps depends on the size of the vehicle you wish to cover … read more here…

There were two other winners in the contest that rounded out the top three.

PITMAN / GLASSBORO, NJ, September 4, 2019
Designer Wraps is proud announce its 2019 Avery Dennison Wrap Like A King Global Contest Entry … the Continental Delinquent.
Check out our “Making Of” Video on YouTube!
“I wasn’t planning on entering this year, but I was talked into it … we had to find the perfect canvas, and I believe did that. Next, I’ve had the idea of “weaving” brushed vinyl for over four years, just never had the right car to use it on.
I am fairly certain that the “weave” has NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE with vinyl!
That was all I had for this project as for the concept and direction … everything was up to my team of super-crazy-talented designers, installers and helpers. It is with great honor we present to you … the Continental Delinquent.” ~ Sean
designer’s note: “One day I’m designing commercial fleets, prosthetics and casino walls, next day I have a continental boat on my plate! Our project was inspired by many thoughts, concepts, and hesitations. One design element we were going to show off our hidden technique; Weaved Vinyl. Our first direction we wanted to head towards a Lincoln/Presidential spin off and ended off not feeling quite right. With time running out I took my main inspiration towards the checkerboard pattern and creating a mad hatter, punk rock, and rebel approach. My personal experience of our work environment became these three nuances. Thus the creation of a Continental Delinquent.” ~ Casey
installer’s note: “One day he said I was a Leader and so, I started leading…. and well… Wrap Like A King… Here we are!!!! Avery’s world wide competition is an opportunity to showcase my profession, my craft and my passion. My goal is to not just wrap for fun but work on “a super cool project and Wrap Like A King was the perfect excuse”. We are taking the wrap game to another tier this time around and introducing to the world our new technique, Weaved Vinyl! Weaving strips of vinyl one by one over and under, over and under is enough to drive any installer insane. The only way to survive this journey was to call in help from my weaving expert of an alter ego, Samantha!” ~ Olga

We had the opportunity recently to help honor our US Veterans on a very unique canvas; a 1969 Chevy Camaro SS. The Warrior Camaro is a daily driver that attends upwards of 200 shows per year, all to show respect to the US Military and it’s veterans. The design was completed in-house and we couldn’t be more happy with it … or more proud of what it represents. #GodBlessOurMilitary
GLASSBORO, NJ, October 14, 2017
We would like to thank all of those that came out to support us during our official Grand Opening and Open House at our new Glassboro / Pitman facility. We’re so happy call Gloucester County home and look forward to the support we can give our community.
It’s also Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so in honor of our owner Sean Tomlin’s mother-in-law Giovanna Wofe who died last year of a long battle with breast cancer, we decked ourselves out with Pink Designer Wraps Shirts!
The turn-out was great and everyone seemed to love the vehicles that were on display. We had everything from the Award Winning NORMA LMP3 Car from Foryt 7 Motorsports, to a Kryptec Camo wrapped Ford Raptor and almost everything in between.
After some renovations and major upgrades to the building we’re proud to announce that our 12,000+ SF facility is completely climate controlled throughout including our 5,000sf installation bay. Our purpose-built production room houses our 4 large format printers, plotters and computer equipment. Another area completed was our Apparel room and Offset printing area.
We welcome our customers and soon-to-be customers an open door to visit our site for a tour any time.
Thank you again!

GLASSBORO, NJ, October 9, 2017
Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions announced today that “Cosmic Norma” by the team Designer Wraps, of New Jersey, was named the North America East Regional Wrap King in the “Wrap Like a King” Challenge featuring a rare purpose-built racecar built in England called a Norma.
“With only two of these cars in United States, we knew it would make for a special project.” said Sean Tomlin, owner of Designer Wraps. “The Norma’s fully carbon fiber body made it challenging to wrap. The real carbon is beautiful so the owner and I wanted to leave some of the body exposed, then use it to accentuate the design. We teamed with Vinyl Madness on the Cosmic design, the end result is out of this world! The wrap is printed on Avery’s Conform Chrome and Avery’s V-8000 Series Reflective Sheeting, a few small portions include Avery’s SWF Satin Black. With the V-8000 series NOT being a wrap film, we had to devise new techniques to make it work. In the end, we couldn’t be more happy.”
The car is owned by Forty7 Motorsports located at NJMP in Millville, NJ, own actively races the car in International race competitions. Pictures and video of the car can be seen here: https://wraplikeaking.com/en_US/gallery/1079
A panel of international industry judges chose Designer Wraps as one of 12 Regional finalists chosen from 159 total entries. The 4 Continental Winners will be chosen on October 16, 2017.
Each Regional Wrap King won an initial prize package valued at close to $2,000. The prize pack includes passes to the 2017 SEMA show in Las Vegas; a Regional Wrap King trophy; a large banner stand display; two free rolls of Supreme Wrapping Film; and social media exposure.
“I’ve been honored to be one of the judges for the Wrap Like A King Contest since it began and, without a question, this year was the hardest to choose a regional winner. There are so many unique and out-of-the-box wraps that push car wraps to new levels,” says Justin Pate, one of the international judges. “I can’t imagine how hard it will be to cast my vote for the winner. It’s super-exciting to be part of this.”
Out of the 12 Regional Wrap Kings, next week four Continent Wrap Kings—representing North America, Europe, North Asia and Australia and New Zealand—will be announced. Their $3,200 prize package includes personalized Wrap Like a King swag; a four-night stay in Las Vegas and passes to the SEMA show; $500 in gift vouchers; a 67” Race Ramp; and a variety of promotional and marketing tools for the winner’s wrap shop.
The 2017 King of the Wrap World grand prize winner will be announced on Wednesday, Nov. 1 at the SEMA show. The King of the Wrap World extended prize package is valued at almost $5,000.

The judges will have a difficult decision picking the overall king.”
The company says that each of the 159 entries were evaluated on the following criteria: visual transformation (difference between the before and after pictures submitted); quality and skill level of installation; overall public look and appeal; and uniqueness of the design.
