Grayway Trucking located in Chipley, Florida found 509 Media on the net and drove over for a visit. After a few short minutes talking to them we were on our way to creating a company logo for Grayway Trucking. They wanted lions and a shield for the logo with a “G” centered in the crest. The logo design will be used to letter their fleet vehicles. In a couple days we will be doing a partial wrap on one of their semi trucks and trailers. More information will be posted on this project as it develops.
Do It Right Lawn Care based out of Dothan, Alabama recently contacted me about wrapping a “new to them” truck to advertise their business. After discussing the many options from plain vinyl cut lettering to a full vinyl wrap it was clear a wrap was the direction we would take. The owner of the company is a long time friend of mine. I suggested to him a few ways to use the wrap to make money and keep over all cost down.
On the bottom 1/3 of the wrap I suggested he sell advertising space. The truck is highly visible around town and the space does have value. I broke the ad area up into three sections. The large ad space would sell for more than the smaller ones. I told him to go out and talk to people he knows about buying the ad space on a one year agreement. So far he has two of the ad spaces sold and the wrap cost nearly covered. If the advertiser decides not to renew we can simply put a new ad over the old one. This is a creative way to wrap your company vehicle and save on your advertising budget. If you decide to do this make certain the advertiser does not overpower your message. After all you are wanting to spread the word about your company to increase your bottom line. This option may not be right for all companies.
The design of this wrap has purpose. The Do It Right Lawn Care section was placed high and bold on the truck side. When parked in a parking lot with cars next to the truck the wrap will still be clearly seen. After all the main purpose of this vehicle wrap is to Advertise Do It Right Lawn Care. The Do It Right banner covers the entire side panel of the truck to make it very easy to read from a long distance.
UPDATE:
The wrap was installed yesterday. Over all the project turned out great. We are going to print a wrap for the front part of the box on the truck. In the beginning the owner did not want to wrap it to keep the project cost a little lower. After the installation was completed the owner decided to move forward.
We will be printing the advertisements for the side of the truck over the next couple of weeks. Three ads will be placed on each side of the truck. I will update the post once the ads are installed.

Blue Torch FabWorks, Inc. (aka BTF, bluetorch, blutorchfab). BTF is the world leader in do it yourself rock crawler fabrication products. BTF is located in Birmingham, AL. If you are looking for BTF be sure to click the link and give Jason Carner a call. If you see this trailer going down the highway be sure to wave. A couple words about BTF history here. I am very proud to say I started this company in 2001 in Dothan, AL. I just want to make things clear and not confuse people. Jason Carner bought in as a partner in late 2007. In September 2009 I sold Jason the remaining shares of the company. Even though I am no longer part of the company I am still very proud of the BTF and what it means in the offroad industry. I am very excited to see what Jason and the rest of the BTF crew come up with.
Now for the trailer. It is a 44 foot smooth side enclosed trailer. The design needed to scream Blue Torch as it is going down the road. The trailer is used at large events like King of the Hammers. At the KOH event the trailer is parked on the lake bed and needed to show BTF from a long distance away. You will notice BLUETORCHFAB.COM covers the entire side of the trailer. A very nice feature of this wrap is the side doors are wrapped on the inside as well. The benefit is the wrap carries with the doors open at events.
The wrap was printed on a Mutoh printer using 3M CV3 vinyl with a luster finish laminate. The end result is a clean looking wrap that is very effective in marketing the BTF brand. More pictures of this trailer can be seen on the Blue Torch Fab website.
This Moment In Time located in Dothan, Alabama wanted a simple yet elegant looking wrap for their small enclosed trailer. The trailer would be used as a billboard in front of their store and as a means to carry supplies to weddings. The pictures for the wrap were supplied by Rare Quality Models and Talent.
If you are in the Dothan area the trailer can be seen at the corner of Honeysuckle and Highway 84 in front of This Moment In Time.
