Graphic Designer Looking For Someone To Help With Customer's Wrap In Wi

Hey Guys! I've been lurking for a bit but this is my first thread post. Thanks for all the great info here!

I'm a graphic designer working on a wrap for a customer, I have the one side laid out so far, will have the rest complete in next couple days.

Is someone here around the Sheboygan Wi or Milwaukee area that I can recommend to my customer to print and install his lettering/wrap?

I believe this would be a cut vinyl job, not a full wrap.. what are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Not sure about someone who can print, but the layout looks like it'd be better suited for a full wrap due to the size of the graphic. If it has to be print & cut anyways and you're going to have to panel the main graphic. Production time and install would be easier as a wrap.

If you want it to be a print & cut job, I'd suggest creating a break in the graphic and making the logo element 52 inches wide so it doesn't have to be paneled. (See picture) this way you can take all the graphics and place them on 52" wide sheets for print & cut. I dunno..just what I'd do i guess...?..

Why not print it yourself and ship it to an installer?

Hey Ross I outsource all of our printing, although I do have vendors that will print this.. due to my lack of knowledge with the hands on wrap process I was hoping someone here was in the client's area that I could refer him to, to take it from here.

It looks smaller than 52" already... how big do you think it is?

The big wording "sarrik clean" looks slightly too big.. I think it will look distorted when install to the overlaps of that panel edge.. maybe shrink it down so it lines up better and fits within the panel area better.. also the website looks like it might curve too much in real life to be visible. Where is the back preview?

Thanks! I sized it down as you mentioned. I think the website will be fine on this particular vehicle, looking at images of vehicle it doesn't curve too much there like most vehicles
