Vehicle Branding Costs: Magnets to Full Wraps
Vehicle Branding Cost questions answered by the team that prints it every day. Platinum Digital Printing runs its own presses, embroidery machines and large-format printers in Randburg, Johannesburg — this guide shares what we tell our own clients, with no sales fog.
The Branding Ladder
Magnetic door signs cost least and move between vehicles. Cut-vinyl decals brand doors and tailgates affordably. Part wraps cover panels; full colour-change wraps own the premium tier.
Each rung up buys more coverage, more impact and more installation labour.
Material Grade Matters
Vehicle-grade laminated vinyl survives sun, carwashes and highway grit for years. Budget vinyl chalks and peels within months — the reprint costs more than the saving.

Design for Moving Traffic
A vehicle is read in three seconds at 60km/h: logo, one line, phone number. Cluttered wraps brand worse than clean decals.
Supply a print-ready PDF with 3mm bleed at 300dpi where possible. Not sure? Send what you have — our prepress team checks every file free and flags problems before they cost you money.
Fleet Thinking
