Sometimes good things come to those who wait. We were fortunate to have this happen recently with a custom advertising wrap for DWP Live. (We didn't really have to wait that long!) DWP Live contacted us in August of 2014 after a referral from our friends at Nissan of Cool Springs. They had purchased a Nissan NV2500 High Roof Cargo Van and wanted to find out more information about wrapping it. Rich, our Senior Wrap Extraordinaire, emailed DWP Live the template for their van and our 12-Point guidelines on how to set up the art files. They took the template and guidelines and worked some pretty nice design magic!
This custom design with bold colors really makes a statement on the road!
We heard back from DWP Live in January of this year when they emailed us with their completed art file. Since they had used our template and guidelines, Rich needed to do very little adjusting to create the print files for the wrap. Once the files were ready, we digitally printed the graphics on our HP Latex 360 64" Wide Format Printer. We used our standard (yet premium) materials for the vinyl: Avery MPI 1005 EZ vinyl with an Avery DOL 1060 gloss overlaminate. DWP Live brought us their freshly washed van, and we completed the installation in two days. HINT: If you are bringing us a vehicle, we ask that you wash it 24 hours prior to bringing it to our shop. Please do not use wax or tire shine because they will prevent the vinyl from sticking properly.
Since the van already was white, DWP Live was able to create a partial coverage wrap design that looks flawless! It's hard to tell which white parts are wrapped and which are the original paint. This is something to think about when purchasing a new vehicle. Will the color work with your wrap design, or will you need to cover the entire vehicle?
We were really happy to see how this wrap turned out. The bold colors really stood out in the snow, and they continue to look great even now that it has melted. The original white color provides a nice clean slate to design something really unique for a full or a partial coverage wrap.
So who is DWP Live? They are a video projection and projection mapping business. Their headquarters are right here in Nashville, and they also have an office in Los Angeles. The DWP Live team is made up of engineers, producers and creators who provide their expertise around the globe. Some projects this talented group has worked on include the Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show, Cinemacon 2013, Beyonce's performance for World Humanitarian Day, and Paul Abdul's PSA for breast cancer awareness. If you haven't been on their website, you really should take a look! They even have a rental catalog to assist you with any of your video needs.
We've said it before and will say it again...and again. Vehicle wraps are a beneficial and cost effective solution for your advertising needs. The Nissan NV line of vehicles provide a perfect canvas for creative designs that really know how to reach a large audience and look fantastic on the road or even sitting in a parking lot.
