Start Your Fleet Program
Chicago Fleet Wraps manages ongoing fleet accounts for businesses of every size — from single vehicles to 200+ unit programs. We maintain your brand files, match every new vehicle to your approved standard, and schedule installs to minimize downtime.
Fleet discounts start at 3% for 2–4 vehicles and scale to 15% for 25+ vehicles. Free pickup and delivery included across all of Chicagoland.
Fleet Account Management
Chicago Fleet Wraps manages ongoing fleet accounts for businesses that regularly add vehicles. Once your brand standard is established and approved on the first vehicle, every subsequent vehicle moves faster through the process — design is already done, materials are spec'd, and our installers know your vehicle type.
Fleet accounts never expire. If you acquire a new vehicle 3 years after your original wrap program, your files are on file and the new vehicle matches your existing fleet exactly. Colors are Pantone-matched from the same profile. Graphic placement is adapted to the new vehicle template using the same design standards.

Starting a Fleet Program
Ready to start a fleet wrap program? The first step is a no-obligation estimate — call (312) 597-1286 or submit our online form. We respond with real pricing within 2 hours. For fleet programs, we typically schedule a design consultation call to discuss your brand standards, vehicle mix, and phasing preferences before starting production.
There is no minimum fleet size. We wrap single vehicles for solo operators and 200-vehicle programs for regional distributors with the same level of attention and quality. The discount schedule rewards volume — but the commitment to cast vinyl, HP Latex printing, and professional installation is the same regardless of fleet size.
Fleet Program FAQs
How do you handle a fleet with multiple vehicle types?
We adapt your approved brand standard to every vehicle template in your fleet. Cargo vans, Sprinters, box trucks, and pickup trucks all carry the same brand identity with graphics scaled and repositioned to suit each vehicle's proportions. Colors are Pantone-matched across every print run so a Transit van and a box truck look like they come from the same shop — because they do.
What happens when vehicles are retired from the fleet?
We offer professional wrap removal as a separate service. When you retire a vehicle, we remove the wrap cleanly — leaving the factory paint intact and typically in better condition than an unwrapped vehicle of the same age. Clean paint on a resale vehicle protects its value. We can schedule removal at the same time as wrapping new replacements to streamline the transition.
Can you handle emergency wraps or rush jobs?
Yes — rush jobs are available with advance notice and a rush fee. If you have a vehicle that needs to be wrapped before a specific event, trade show, or launch date, call us at (312) 597-1286 to discuss what is possible. We have turned around single-vehicle wraps in 48 hours when the schedule allows.
Why Cast Vinyl is the Only Acceptable Commercial Wrap Material
The commercial vehicle wrap industry has a material quality problem. Walk-in shops across Chicago sell wraps using calendered vinyl — a cheaper extruded film that costs $4–6/sqft vs the $9.75/sqft Chicago Fleet Wraps charges for cast vinyl. The savings look attractive. The results are not.
Calendered vinyl is manufactured by extruding liquid PVC through a die under pressure. That process creates internal molecular stresses in the film that cannot be fully relieved. Over time — accelerated by Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles, road salt, and UV exposure — those stresses cause the material to shrink and pull away from panel edges. Wraps installed with calendered vinyl start lifting within 18–24 months on commercial vehicles. By year 3, they look visibly degraded.
Cast vinyl — specifically Avery Dennison MPI 1105 and 3M IJ180-CV3 — is manufactured by casting liquid PVC onto a flat substrate and curing it. This process eliminates internal stress, producing a dimensionally stable film that conforms to compound curves, survives extreme temperatures, and maintains appearance through 5–7 years of outdoor exposure. Chicago Fleet Wraps has never installed calendered vinyl on a commercial vehicle. We never will.
Chicago Fleet Wraps by the Numbers
Chicago Fleet Wraps operates from a dedicated wrap facility at 4711 N Lamon Ave #7, Chicago, IL 60630. The shop is equipped for vehicles of every size — cargo vans through 26 ft box trucks — with a climate-controlled installation bay that maintains consistent temperature for optimal vinyl adhesion year-round. Every vehicle goes through a paint condition inspection before installation and a quality control review before delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I verify a wrap shop is using cast vinyl?
Ask for the material spec by name before signing anything. Legitimate shops will tell you exactly which vinyl product they use — Avery Dennison MPI 1105, 3M IJ180-CV3, or another named cast film. If the shop says "commercial grade vinyl" or "premium material" without a specific product name, ask to see the material spec sheet. Calendered vinyl shops rarely volunteer that information.
Can you wrap a vehicle that already has an old wrap on it?
Sometimes — but we strongly recommend removing the old wrap before applying a new one. Wrapping over an existing wrap creates adhesion issues, traps potential contaminants, and makes future removal significantly more difficult. If the existing wrap is less than 2 years old and in excellent condition with no lifting, wrapping over it may be possible. We inspect every vehicle and give you an honest recommendation before proceeding.
Do you offer wrap design services for businesses without a logo?
Yes — we can design your vehicle graphics from scratch including logo development, typography selection, and brand color establishment. This is a separate service from the wrap itself and is quoted based on scope. Many of our commercial clients come to us with a business name and phone number and leave with a complete branded fleet identity. Call (312) 597-1286 to discuss your design needs.
