When you think about wraps in the sign industry, a vehicle wrap is what usually comes to mind.  Full and partial vinyl wraps or smaller scale decals are a great marketing tool to promote your business on your vehicles and can help drive leads to your business while out on the road. This makes them an incredibly cost-effective marketing tool that with proper care, can last a long time. Here at Signarama, we have been wrapping all kinds of objects for over 35 years. As you can imagine, we have come across some unconventional wraps as the result of our imaginative customers meeting our creative owners! We have included some of our favorites here that we have come across this year.

The "Trash to Treasure" Wrap

In 2021, Signarama witnessed a new, viral city beautification trend of wrapping traditionally “ugly” but necessary items that stick out like a soar thumb. The best examples are city utility boxes and garbage cans. Businesses are also trying to find new ways to incorporate branding throughout their ENTIRE business, all the way down to their mop buckets.  Pictured below is a wrap completed by Signarama North Dallas, TX, of a custodial mop bucket and safety sign. This project was done as a promotional piece for the client. We love seeing consistent branding throughout the entire business to give a cohesive, professional look to every department.

The "Rock ‘N Roll" Wraps

Another common item that is personalized by many famous music professionals are their beloved guitars.  Signarama McKinney, TX, has completed several bass guitar wraps that reflects the guitar player’s style and personality. The benefit of using vinyl here as a customization tool instead of stickers or paint we commonly see is that it can withstand wear and tear from rocking out on stage, so the design will stay fresh for the entire world tour beyond.

The "Sweet Tooth" Wrap

This next wrap made us SCREAM…for ice-cream! What better way to attract your target audience of excited kids and their parents than to have a wrapped mobile ice-cream cart! Signarama Ontario, CA, really “froze” out the competition with the completion of this vibrant cart. Adding a touch of color and personal design can help your business stand out from your competitors in a busy market. 

The "Hang Loose" Wrap

Signarama Fort Worth (North), TX, is no stranger to wrapping the unexpected. Their shop wrapped a promotional surfboard for Baja Banditos Mexican Restaurant, giving the board a realistic wood feel. They also wrapped pillars for a local church in their town to help congregation members find their way through the building. The pillars were 12-feet tall and cylindrical, making for an interesting wrap process behind the scenes. 

The "Robot" Wrap

Last but not least, the team at Signarama Colombia West, SC, completed a wrap for their local town “robot.” This project entailed wrapping an autonomous street sweeper the city fondly named \'Rosie.\' With the new wrap, Rosie brings fun colors and life to the job, and is now recognizable wherever she sweeps!

Vinyl is such a diverse material that it no longer needs to be saved for just your vehicles. With its durability, affordability, and flexible design options, vinyl can be used to wrap almost anything you can dream of! Your local Signarama is here to help bring your wildest ideas to life and create something beautiful, and maybe even unconventional, in the process.
