What Does a Partial Vehicle Wrap Cover and Cost?
Partial wraps range from quarter coverage (rear panel only, $800–$1,500) to three-quarter coverage (both sides and rear, $2,200–$3,800). A half wrap covering both sides from the beltline down plus the rear delivers 85% of the visual impact at 55% of the cost of a full wrap.
Partial wraps are custom-designed to maximize your brand visibility on the most-seen panels of your vehicle. Common partial wrap configurations include:
- Side Panels — Both sides of the vehicle for maximum roadside and parking visibility.
- Rear Doors / Tailgate — The panel most seen by following traffic at stoplights and in traffic.
- Hood Wrap — Eye-catching hood graphics visible to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.
- Lower Body Accent — Rocker panel and lower door graphics that tie the design together.
- Cab-Only (Box Trucks) — Wrap just the cab of a box truck for budget-conscious fleets.
When Partial Wraps Make Sense
- Budget-Conscious Branding — Get professional branding at 40–60% of full wrap cost.
- Vehicle Color Match — If your vehicle color matches your brand, partial wraps add graphics without covering the matching paint.
- Starting a Fleet — Partial wraps let you brand your first 3–5 vehicles affordably, then upgrade to full wraps later.
- Leased Vehicles — Partial wraps reduce cost and install time on leased fleet vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Partial Wrap Coverage Guide — What You Get at Each Price Point
Quarter wrap ($800–$1,500): Covers rear panel and/or tailgate only. Approximately 25–40 sq ft of vinyl. Best for: businesses that want basic branding on a tight budget. Typical design: logo, phone number, website, and tagline.
Half wrap ($1,500–$2,800): Covers both sides from the beltline down, plus the rear. Approximately 80–120 sq ft. Best for: service businesses that want strong visibility without full coverage. This is our most popular option for first-time wrap buyers.
Three-quarter wrap ($2,200–$3,800): Covers both full sides and rear, leaving only the hood and roof unwrapped. Approximately 150–200 sq ft. Best for: businesses that want near-full-wrap impact. At a distance, a well-designed three-quarter wrap is nearly indistinguishable from a full wrap.
Our recommendation: For white or light-colored vehicles, a half wrap with a strong color contrast delivers the best cost-to-impact ratio. For dark vehicles, we recommend a three-quarter wrap because partial coverage on dark paint can look incomplete.
How do partial wraps compare to full wraps in terms of cost for a typical Chicago delivery van?
