Why vehicle wraps are booming in Quebec
A wrapped vehicle covers an average of 70,000 km a year in Montreal. At every intersection and in every parking lot, it generates thousands of visual impressions a day — at a cost far below any other form of local advertising.
That is why more and more restaurateurs, contractors and small businesses turn to AGS Signs for vehicle wraps and detailing on their work vehicles.
According to the Association of American Advertisers, a vehicle wrap generates between 30,000 and 70,000 visual impressions per day, at one of the lowest costs per thousand contacts in all of advertising.
The different types of wrap
1. Full wrap
The entire vehicle surface is covered in vinyl printed on our large format printing presses. It is the most striking option visually and the most effective as mobile advertising.
- Covers: hood, doors, roof, bumpers, rear windows (optional)
- Life: 5 to 7 years with normal care
- Protection: shields the original paint from wear
2. Partial wrap
Only certain areas are covered — usually the doors, the rear box and/or the hood. Excellent value for money.
3. Lettering and logos
Simple cut vinyl with the company name, logo and contact details. Economical and thoroughly professional.
4. Colour change wrap (non-advertising)
Changing the body colour without paint. Very popular for personal and prestige vehicles. Available in matte, satin, chrome, camouflage and more.

Care and durability in Quebec
Professional-grade vinyl handles Quebec conditions perfectly. A few pointers:
- Wash by hand, or use a brushless car wash (water jet only)
- Avoid abrasive products and solvent-based waxes
- In winter, let ice melt rather than scraping the vinyl
- Park out of direct sun when you can — it extends the life
- A well-maintained wrap lasts 5 to 7 years; a neglected one can yellow in 3
