Vehicle wrapping has a long history.  The Goodrich Company accidentally discovered the chemical used to create vinyl wrapping. The discovery of Vinyl Chloride leads to an entirely new industry. The core component of Vinyl Wrap is found in a wide variety of products in use today. Vinyl is a diverse product that is very flexible and comes in any possible color.

During the 1950s and 1960’s there were substantial developments in the automotive world with vinyl chloride and the potential for commercial use in automotive advertising. In the early days Vinyl was expensive and only used by large corporations however that all changed by the 1980’s advancements in Vinyl Wrap production and die-cutting technology making it affordable enough for small businesses.

Early in the 1990’s Die-cut Vinyl Wrap surpassed paint as the primary method for advertising businesses on cars, trucks, and vans. Approaching the end of the 90s advancements in Vinyl printing technology through the use of electrostatic printers expanded the Vinyl Wrap market to everyone.

A large milestone in the shift from small production vinyl lettering to a full vehicle vinyl color change took place in Germany in 1993 when the vinyl manufacturer Kay Premium Marking Films was asked to produce a film to be used in place of paint for the purpose of converting cars into taxis. At this time German taxi companies were required by law to paint their fleets in a government-mandated color, beige The company provided an alternative to painting, which allowed taxi companies to bring a large fleet of vehicles into compliance with German law while maintaining the future resale value of the vehicles. Prior to this point, decommissioned taxis were heavily discounted or had to be completely repainted. With the use of vinyl vehicle wraps there was no need to repaint them or discount them as the vinyl could be removed without damaging the paint underneath.

The first world’s first digitally printed vehicle wrap is thought to have been created for Pepsi Co, in 1993, which used vinyl to wrap a bus promoting its Crystal Pepsi product. It wasn’t long before wrap advertising was everywhere and the new form of vehicle graphics trickled down to smaller businesses and consumers.
