Top 3 Reasons to Buy More Wrap Film Than You Need

Top Three Reasons to Buy More Than You Need

When it comes to vinyl wrapping films, there's no shortage of good reasons you should always buy more than you think you need to get the job done. Whether it has to do with bug hits, UV damage or caustic chemical spills, you'd be well to think ahead and pay a little more know to save a lot more later. In today's post we'll take a look at the top three reasons why you should be willing to spend a bit more now and go for the whole 25 yard roll rather than trying to buy the absolute minimum to get the job done and regretting it later.

1. Colors Vary from Roll to Roll: Regardless of brand, colors vary from one roll to the next. It doesn't matter if you only plan on buying 3M 1080 Series, Avery™ SW900 or ORAFOL 970RA films, if you use more than one roll of the "same" color on a wrap job you could end up with different shades. That's why you should always buy a complete 25 yard roll of wrap film. 
2. Always Plan for Mistakes: Mistakes can be costly but are unavoidable. They're even worse when you don't plan ahead and buy enough film. Don't get stuck with a half wrapped ride only to have to buy another roll and start from scratch.  We recently had a customer contact us about this happening with SW900 Gloss Intense Blue. It's an unfortunate situation but only adequate planning could have prevented it.
3. Save Some for Repairs: If you need to repair your wrap you'll want to use the same roll as the original. That's why you should always buy extra and keep enough of it on hand for patches and repairs. 

Good Advice? You Decide

Of course, you'll have to decide if this s good advice or we're just trying to line our pockets. Still, when it comes down to it, a happy customer is a return customer and there's no better way to torpedo your business than by making customers unhappy. That's why we want to give you all the information upfront so you can make the best decisions. Whatever you decide and wherever you choose to buy your wraps we hope you'll keep the above in mind.
