How much does it cost to wrap a Sprinter van in New Jersey?
Applied Graphics does not publish a van price. A standard-roof van lettered on two sides and a high-roof extended van wrapped end to end are different jobs on different square footage. Six things move the number. Call (908) 620-9600 for a quote on your actual van. On the color proof, their stated policy is: "We don't hide this cost in your pricing because we feel it's not right to bury costs."
| What moves the price | Why |
|---|---|
| Roof height and wheelbase | Every extra inch of body is printed film and installed square footage |
| How many panels | Two sides, the rear doors, the hood, the roof — each is a separate surface |
| Lettering vs. full wrap | Cut vinyl on a painted panel is not the same job as printed film across the whole body |
| Design work | Applied Graphics runs a full in-house art department, concept to completion |
| Window graphics | Window perforation and opaque or frosted window film are separate operations |
| Removing an existing wrap | Old vinyl has to come off first; vinyl removal is its own operation |
Full wrap, partial wrap or lettering — what does a work van actually need?
Not every work van needs a full wrap. If the van is already a usable color, cut vinyl lettering puts the company name, license number and phone on it without printing film across the body. A full wrap is for artwork that has to cover the panel. Applied Graphics in Kenilworth, NJ lists every option below as a service, so the recommendation is not driven by what they happen to sell.
| Option | What it is | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| Cut vinyl lettering | Name, phone and logo cut from vinyl, applied to the painted panel | The van is already the right color |
| Partial wrap | Printed film over selected panels, lettering over the rest | You want a photographic element without covering the whole van |
| Full wrap | Printed film across the sides, rear and hood | The whole van is the advertisement |
| 3D lettering | Dimensional lettering | You want the name to stand off the surface |
| Magnets | Removable printed panels | The vehicle cannot be permanently marked |
| Window perforation | Perforated film over glass | You want graphics across the rear or side windows |
Can a van be wrapped indoors, out of New Jersey weather?
Yes. Applied Graphics installs in a 6,000 square foot indoor facility in Kenilworth, New Jersey that is heated and cooled. The facility takes vehicles up to 14 feet high and 53 feet long, so a high-roof extended van fits inside. In-shop installs happen in a controlled space rather than in a parking lot in February.
Does a Sprinter van wrap come with a warranty?
Applied Graphics uses 3M MCS warranty materials, and only graphics manufacturers holding a current Certificate of 3M MCS Warranty may extend that warranty — which is why certification is a real distinction rather than a badge. Every installer at the Kenilworth, New Jersey shop is 3M-certified. Their own line: "If any part of your wrap should fail due to any of those factors, we will fix it guaranteed!" Ask what the coverage is on your specific job before you sign.
How long does a wrap last on a van that works every day?
Applied Graphics publishes no lifespan number, so here is the attributed evidence instead of a guess. A 2017 customer wrote that "one of my vehicles has no fade or issues after 5 years after application." A 2018 customer reported that a track-prepped Roush Stage 3 wrapped by the Kenilworth, NJ shop held up through a full season of track events. Materials carry the 3M MCS warranty, and vinyl removal is a listed service for when the van is sold.
Can you wrap our vans at our shop instead of us dropping them off?
Yes. On-the-road and on-site installation are listed Applied Graphics services, and a site survey comes first. That matters when a service van cannot give up a working day. The Kenilworth, New Jersey shop describes itself as 27 minutes from Manhattan with easy access from all major highways, and covers New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, Connecticut and Boston, plus a national installer network beyond that.
What if it is five vans, not one?
Same shop, same artwork, same installers. Applied Graphics states its own range as "whether it be one custom art piece or a fleet of 500," so a single-van pilot and a full rollout both run through the in-house art department in Kenilworth, New Jersey. Large-format printing goes up to 60 inches wide by 150 feet long, so the artwork that produced the first van produces the fifth. Work they have posted themselves includes a van wrap for Van Natta Mechanical Co., photographed in the shop in November 2024.
Does a wrapped work van actually bring in calls?
Applied Graphics cites more than 600 visual impressions for every mile driven, a figure they attribute to the American Trucking Association. For a plumber, an HVAC tech or an electrician, that is advertising on the routes the van already runs — and on the driveway it sits in all afternoon. Their tagline, carried on their own van in Kenilworth, New Jersey: "Advertising on the MOVE."
Common questions
- How much does it cost to wrap a Sprinter van in New Jersey?
- Applied Graphics does not publish a van price. The number is driven by roof height and wheelbase, how many panels get covered, whether you want cut vinyl lettering or a printed full wrap, the design work, and whether an old wrap has to come off. Call (908) 620-9600 in Kenilworth, NJ for a quote on your actual van.
- Do you wrap high-roof and extended-length vans?
- Yes. The indoor facility at Applied Graphics in Kenilworth, New Jersey takes vehicles up to 14 feet high and 53 feet long, so a high-roof extended van fits inside. The facility is 6,000 square feet, heated and cooled, so an in-shop install does not happen outdoors.
- Are Applied Graphics installers actually 3M certified?
- Yes, and it is checkable. Every installer at Applied Graphics is 3M-certified, and the Kenilworth, New Jersey company is independently listed in the UASG directory as a 3M Certified Graphics Installer — a third-party listing rather than a self-issued badge. The company is also BBB A+ accredited since December 2008 with zero complaints.
- Can you remove an old van wrap and put new graphics on?
- Yes. Vinyl removal is one of the listed services at Applied Graphics in Kenilworth, New Jersey, so an old wrap or old lettering comes off before new graphics go on. Removal is its own operation across the van's square footage, so it affects the quote. Design, printing, installation and removal are all in-house.
- Do we have to bring the van to Kenilworth?
- No. Applied Graphics offers on-the-road and on-site installation as well as in-shop work in Kenilworth, New Jersey, and runs a site survey first, so vans that cannot give up a working day get wrapped where they are parked. The service area covers New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, Connecticut and Boston.
- Do you charge for a color proof?
- Applied Graphics treats the color proof as a stated cost rather than folding it into the job, and says so plainly: "We don't hide this cost in your pricing because we feel it's not right to bury costs." Ask what it comes to when you quote the first van at the Kenilworth, New Jersey shop.
