Choose the Best Car Wrap Brands: Avery Dennison and 3M

Best brands of car wraps

Before installing a film on your vehicle, it’s extremely important to know which brand of vinyl material is being used, as this will dictate its durability and longevity. At Tinting Chicago, we’ve been vehicle wrap for more than a decade so we know a thing or two about different brands. Today, we only install two brands of vinyl on vehicles: Avery Dennison and 3M because we believe they offer our customer’s the best value for money.

Avery Dennison

Avery Dennison is one of the most popular brands of wrap on the market because of its extreme durability, application speed, and a huge choice of colors and finishes.

3M has been wrapping cars in vinyl longer than almost any other brand and now offers vinyl in 100+ different shades, colors, and textures.  With their innovative designs and trustworthy adhesive technology, they’re known for being durable and trustworthy.  You really can’t go wrong with 3M vinyl wraps!

Which vinyl wrap brand to choose?

At Tinting Chicago, our professional installers recommend the best brand of vinyl to use for your vehicle graphics, based on the following factors. Rest assured whichever brand is chosen, will be long-lasting and of high quality:

• Purpose of the wrap. Determine what you want to use the car vinyl wrap for. For instance, if you need advertising for your business, you should prefer a brand that produces UV-resistant film that can print images, text, etc.
• Length of time required. If you require a wrap film for a short period, you can opt for good vinyl wrap brands that offer temporary solutions. For long-term use, consider brands that provide higher quality wrap.
• Desired design. The best car wrap brand always offers a wider selection of colors, shades, and textures, for example, matte black vinyl, sleek white, etc. With such variety, you can create the design you desire.
• Vehicle condition. Always consider the condition of your vehicle when choosing the best vinyl wrap. Some top vinyl wrap brands may offer the film for damaged surfaces or harsh operating conditions. This can be important if you want to conceal minor defects and protect the paintwork.

Remember, the stronger and more durable the material, the more expensive wrapping your car will be. But it’s still cheaper than a paint job.

Contact our company’s managers to find out the price of wrapping your car. They will not only calculate the cost but also assist you in selecting the best vinyl wrap brand.

Vinyl wrap brands to avoid

Not all vehicle wraps are created equal, so if you’re going to the expense and effort of installing a vinyl wrap on your vehicle, make sure it’s a quality wrap that will last for years to come.

There are many replica vinyl wrap brands on the market of lesser quality and standard than Avery Dennison and 3M.  It may be tempting to opt for these brands as they are usually cheaper than the real deal.  However, be warned that you’re far more likely to encounter issues of color fading, bubbling, and peeling with rip-off brands. Stick to quality products and your vinyl wrap will last for a minimum of 5 years.

Different types of vinyl mater finishes

Consider the following options:

• Gloss finish. Gives the surface of the car shine and brightness, making it more expressive and attractive. Gloss vinyl is excellent for creating striking images.
• Matte finish. Makes your car more elegant and restrained. The film doesn’t reflect light, creating a matte effect and providing a more sophisticated style.
• Satin finish. Combines elements of glossy and matte finishes, creating a soft and pleasant-to-the-touch surface, giving the vehicle an exquisite look.
• Metallic finish. Simulates the effect of metallic shine to achieve a modern style and adds texture and depth to your car’s interior.
• Chrome finish. Creates a shiny and mirror effect, giving the car an exclusive and luxurious appearance. Chrome vinyl is perfect for a partial wrap for your car and striking accents.
• Carbon fiber finish. Mimics the texture and shade of carbon fiber, giving a sporty look to your vehicle. This type of finish is often used to create a dynamic style.

It’s important to remember that even the best automotive vinyl wrap has its own features and drawbacks. Therefore, choosing the perfect wrap requires responsible consideration, taking into account needs and personal preferences.
