fleet wrapping.
A consistent fleet is recognised before anyone reads the name on it. Partial or full wraps on your vehicles, applied identically across the whole fleet and planned in waves, so your business carries on while the work is done.
The real issue with a fleet is not the first vehicle, it is the twentieth: it has to match the first one two years later, when the model may well have changed. So we build a reference design for the wrap (proportions, positions, colours) which we adapt to successive vehicle templates without losing visual consistency.
Planning counts as much as the fitting. We arrange the vehicles in waves of a few at a time, in the evening or at the weekend depending on your rounds, so you lose no operating days.
The films used are made for outdoor use and pressure washing, and come off without marking the paint, which protects the resale value and the manufacturer's warranty.

questions we are asked.
I can't take all my vehicles off the road at the same time. How does that work?
Vehicles come in batches, to a schedule agreed with you. You decide how many go together; the rest stay on the road. Each batch is wrapped at our Zaventem workshop and back with you before the next one leaves, and we set the dates around your quieter weeks. The work is spread over as long as it takes, and the fleet keeps running throughout.
My vehicles aren't all the same model. Will the result be consistent?
Yes, provided the design is thought through in proportions rather than centimetres. The logo, the stripe and the lettering hold the same relative position on every vehicle: the same height, the same alignment with the windows and the doors. We draw a fitting plan for each model and approve it with you before the first vehicle goes in. Park a van next to a saloon and they still belong to the same fleet.
I'm buying an extra vehicle in six months' time. Will it match the others?
Yes. We keep the cutting files for your fleet, so a vehicle of the same model reuses the existing file exactly. A different model needs a fresh fitting plan, drawn to the proportions you have already approved. If a film has been discontinued, we put the closest match to you before fitting. The new vehicle is done on its own. The rest of the fleet stays where it is.
My drivers use roller washes or pressure washers. Will the film hold?
Yes, with one proviso: never hold a pressure washer close to the edge of the film or to a sharp edge of the bodywork. That is where water works its way underneath and lifts the graphic. Keep the lance back and angled. Roller washes will not ruin the film, but the brushes dull the surface over time; washing by hand keeps the finish looking new for longer.
My vehicles are on lease. What happens when they go back?
The film comes off without damaging the original paint. Which is exactly why a leased vehicle is wrapped rather than resprayed. We take it off in the workshop before the vehicle goes back, and the leasing company gets its paintwork untouched. Book that visit in alongside your return dates rather than in the final week, so a full diary is never what holds up the hand-back.
Does wrapping a new vehicle void the manufacturer's warranty?
No. The film goes over the original paint without altering it and comes away the same way, so the manufacturer's warranty stands. That warranty covers the paint underneath, of course; the film carries its own guarantee, five to ten years depending on which is fitted, and we confirm the term before work starts.
