Upps. That's right. 52ft x 8ft tall (Sides) and 8ft x 8ft BackThat's a 53? You said 26?
We did one recently for $8K. I think you're going to see answers all over the board and some people telling you to figure it out yourself... I think we were low for our area (Hawaii) but lower than what most people are charging. At the time we had only done 5 or 6 trucks previously and it would take us about an hour a panel. I think that we could go lower on the price now as it's only 20-30 minutes per 4ft panel now...That's a 53? You said 26?
Sounds great! Thanks!Cast air-release vinyl with top lam: around $9500 with all those rivets. Calandered: around $8000.
Add for truck washing (have them take it to the truck wash first). You'll still need to wipe it down before applying vinyl.
Add $70/hr - $100/hr for any file prep, and of course whatever needs to be charged for graphic design.

Find out how much prep work it is though. Sometimes grungy grommets and a dirty trailer take almost as much time to prep as to wrap...
Just a comment if I may.... Signs365 wholesale cost on that amount of vinyl is 4430.00.Here in the midwest we are around $5000 for a 54ft trailer. Do a lot of them at that price, 3M 180c/8519. Install with 2 guys is 1 day. Corrugated trailers add another day.
They are almost exactly 2x my cost, wholesale yes, cheap no. Do it in house, put 50% on materials and 16 man hours is $100/hr. I'd take that all day long.Just a comment if I may.... Signs365 wholesale cost on that amount of vinyl is 4430.00.
Understood. Another thought. If you are converting the raw material, printing, laminating etc. you are in a whole lot better shape if you can at least double your material costs. 2.25 more better. Thinking 888 square foot of material at 7.00 per foot - 6216.00 is not an unreasonable asking price.They are almost exactly 2x my cost, wholesale yes, cheap no.

So why did you reference buying a finished product as a price point? You're in a whole lot better shape if you can quadruple your material cost too. It doesn't matter what is reasonable in someone else's eyes, you could tell them $15k and be able to justify it, doesn't mean you'll get any jobs though. Maybe 5k is what it takes to get that work for them? That's a competitive market and the only ones that seem to get their panties in a wad over it are the ones that can't compete. Rather than figure it out, they complain that the rates are too cheap.Understood. Another thought.

Point this out to your material supplier and demand a lower price, low material prices aren't just going to show up, you have to put some work in to get the best priceMountain Commercial sells the printed wrap for about $1500 for a whole trailer.
It’s not even worth me printing to compete with that, I’d spend double that on just material alone.
Your price is your price, not everyone has the same expenses and base costs.I’d probably be around $7k or so personally with cast vinyl and lam.
That being said I know some people in the Midwest who are charging around $3k or so for a full wrap 53’ trailer, 3MIJ180 and not even printing in-house.

-and yep I’m throwing the name out there because it’s unfair to the rest of us when people price things that low.

I had it figured out for $8960 on the low side and $14,976 for the high side. I'm glad you piped up. It's BIG area.So why did you reference buying a finished product as a price point?

Best bet is to know who your local Fleet wash guys are.I'm curious,
How much are you guys charging for full wrapping a Semi-Trailer? Size: 52ft x 8ft tall (Sides) and 8ft x 8ft Back. Wrapping the sides and back only. Material, printing, and installation
see the picture for reference.
Thanks.
