Mobile glass repair is a fast paced business often times putting the service technician on location with the customer. With the many hours spent on location and on the road it makes perfect sense to wrap the service vans for added exposure. Advertising is key with any business. If potential customers have never heard of you it is safe to bet they will never call you. Check out the Glass Doctor fleet van wrap. Be sure to post a comment below.

A customer dropped in to 509 Media on a recommendation to us from Photorama here in Dothan, AL. The customer wanted a large format digital print installed on their horse trailer. In some ways this is a extra large tailgate wrap. The print was made from a high resolution picture provided by the customer. The vinyl used for this job was 3M Controltac CV3 with a high gloss laminate to protect the ink.
Bill Durden of Durden Outdoor stopped by the shop for a visit a few weeks ago. After talking for a few minutes the discussion moved on to wrapping his Jeep TJ to give it a little more character. He wanted to keep the cost down yet make it look cool. We chose to design and print a partial wrap for his Jeep. This would lessen the amount of vinyl used on the project as well as reduce some install time.
The end result changed the way the Jeep looked drastically, and if the owner decides to remove the wrap it can be easily removed. The Jeep wrap was printed on 3M Controltac CV3 and laminated with a high gloss over laminate to protect the inks and make it shine.
Some of you may notice the wheels were powder coated black. The aluminum wheels pictured in the before pictures were removed, media blasted, powder coated black, and reinstalled. The black wheels better compliment the Jeep wrap design. Not to mention the aluminum finish on the wheels was not looking too great.
If you would like to purchase a wrap like this one please contact us for more details. 509 Media can also design and print custom wraps to suit your needs.

George’s Auto Glass wanted to freshen up their image around town with a vehicle wrap. Their mobile service vans are out around Dothan, AL and surrounding areas on a daily basis and provide a perfect opportunity to advertise their services. The service van wrap was designed to wrap from the front door back to help keep cost down. The vehicle wrap was design in Adobe Photoshop and then printed on our Mutoh large format printer.
The vinyl used for this project was high performance 3M Controltac CV3 with a high gloss 3M laminate to protect the ink. The high gloss laminate helps give the wrap a sense of depth. The vinyl used on this project might not be the cheapest but it will have a longer service life on the van.

Window perf or sometimes called window wrap can be used to advertise on vehicle windows. The 509 Media store front windows are wrapped with printed window perf to advertise our business. On vehicles the same material is used to advertise. The rear window of this Hummer H2 was wrapped with printed window perf. Window perf has small holes in the vinyl to allow people in the vehicle to see through. It should be noted this application was done as a temporary political advertisement and was installed without a protective over laminate. By not using laminate it allows you to see out of the vehicle easier, but when it gets wet it is just about impossible to see out. So if you are considering this approach to advertise you should know the difference in using window perf with and without laminate.
Political Campaign Marketing is a great use for window perf. If you are running for office and would like to discuss pricing, marketing ideas, and develop a cost effective plan be sure to contact 509 Media in Dothan, AL. 509 Media can handle your graphic design needs, marketing, and put it all into action to produce results.

Vehicle wraps are a great way to advertise your business and more importantly establish your brand. If you have fleet vehicles on the road why not make use of the adverting space to promote your goods or services. Considering the number of advertising impressions a vehicle wrap gets over the life of the wrap the cost is way more affordable than traditional means of advertising. The graphic design elements of a vehicle wrap can incorporate many different things, but should remain simple enough to sell your brand and products. Making an impact on a potential customer with a positive professional message increases the chance they will recall your name at a later time. If a customer is unable to recall your name they will have a difficult time finding you.
Hornsby Tire Distributors sells wholesale to Dothan, AL and surrounding area tire stores. The company has a new set of owners who understand the value of utilizing the space on their fleet vehicles. Hornsby Tire may not sell to the direct consumer but a vehicle wrap in their case can help make tire store owners aware they are in the area. Rather than having a white truck backing up to their customer’s door day after day a wrapped truck will be backing up to the door with their name and service boldly stated. I can not stress enough how important it is for any company to keep their brand in front of people and to build relationships. If your company offers a quality product with your name attached it increases recall when that person needs your goods or services.
The vehicle wrap on the Isuzu Box Truck was designed using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. The tires used as the background images was created from a single tire image from Yokohama Tire. The image was repeated to cover the side of the vehicle wrap. The vinyl used on this project was 3M CV3 with a luster finish over laminate. The wrap was printed on our 64 inch Mutoh printer. Each side of the Isuzu Box truck consists of four large panels that were installed kind of like wall paper. Each panel has a predetermined overlap so the image can easily be aligned during the wrap install. The rear roll up door has two vertical panels.

Grayway Trucking in Chipley, Florida asked if we could do a partial wrap to cover an area on their trailer where a logo was removed. The trailer was purchased from another company and needed the letters removed and replaced to represent Grayway Trucking. Here at 509 Media we recommended to do a large graphic design to cover the area where the old lettering was. The large print on the trailer measures 3 feet tall by 15 feet long. We also printed and contour cut the Grayway Trucking logo design for the doors of the tractor and the rear door of the trailer.
The DOT and MC numbers were cut from matte finish black and placed on the cab of the tractor. DOT law states that the numbers have to be 2 inches tall and must be readable from 50 feet away while the vehicle is stationary. 509 Media cuts DOT and MC numbers all the time. If you need vinyl DOT numbers for your truck feel free to contact 509 Media for a quote.
Brent was a good customer of mine back in my Blue Torch Fab days. When he needed a wrap for his BTF Fusion Chassis he PM’ed me over on Pirate 4×4 for details. After a couple quick pm’s we settled on a price and the 509 Media machine was set into motion. Although we were in the middle of moving the shop to a new location we were able to get it done and delivered on time.
The BTF Fusion Chassis wrap was printed on 3m CV3 and laminated to help protect the inks. The wrap design has some hundred dollar bills spread throughout the design to show it is his money pit. Rock crawling can be very fun and addicting. For those who care about their off-road vehicles and how it looks a wrap might be the set up you need.
Give us a call if you would like a quote. We can wrap offroad vehicles, race trailers, fleet vehicles, walls, mailboxes, and more.
Jeremy chopped up a wrap for the bathroom door last night. Pretty funny design. It actually has some text carved in the design for those who want to read it. The door wrap was printed on a cheaper vinyl like we print stickers on. The print was then laminated to protect the inks from cleaning supplies. After all it is the bathroom door. Now we need some spare time to wrap more around the new shop.
It has been a couple weeks since making a blog post here on 509 Media. We have been very busy keeping up with our work load and moving into the new location. We wrapped the 509 Media storefront today with perforated vinyl.
Perforated vinyl or more commonly known as window perf can be a very effective tool advertising your business. The traffic count in front of our business is roughly 20,000 cars per day. When compared to other local advertising methods window perf can deliver customers to your cash register for a small investment. Window perf is vinyl with little holes in it. The holes allow people inside the building to see out as if there are no graphics on the window. The window perf on the 509 Media store front is a 50/50 ratio. This means the area you can see through is equal to the area printed on. 50/50 window perf allows you to see out of the building much easier than 70/30. On 70/30 the print covers 70% of the window and the holes cover 30%. One benefit of 70/30 is the ability to have more detailed prints.
The design on window perf can include what ever you want to promote your business. You can have pictures of your product, or a graphic to grab attention. Here at 509 Media we wanted something that would stand out as people drive by our door everyday.
Check out the view from inside 509 Media looking out. You can not see the graphic and still have a full view outdoors.
