Lettering techniques for tarpaulins used as mobile advertising

The utility of truck tarpaulins is not limited to just protecting transported goods. When you have a fleet of trucks, you can choose to promote your business through mobile advertising.

Since we are dealing with large surfaces, special methods are needed for printing graphics on tarpaulins. Moreover, truck tarpaulins are subject to numerous external factors that can affect their quality.

For example, UV rays, cold or excessive heat, rain, or even snow can affect both the tarpaulin's graphics and the material from which it is made. And to ensure it lasts longer, you need tarpaulins made from special materials and with high-quality prints.

In this article, we will discuss the best techniques for truck tarpaulin lettering for mobile advertising.

Solidskin print for detailed graphics on tarpaulins

When your vision includes large-scale graphics, the best choice is Solidskin tarpaulin printing. The innovative solvent ink technology gives you the possibility to print highly detailed graphics in vivid colors.

Furthermore, the advantage of Solidskin printing is represented by the 5-year guarantee for the durability of the tarpaulin and the print. What does this mean? That you enjoy your purchase for longer compared to tarpaulins with conventional prints.

Tarpaulins with Solidskin prints have a glossy surface due to the protective lacquer with a lotus effect. Therefore, the tarpaulins are easy to clean and do not require chemical degreasing solutions. Moreover, the protective lacquer ensures resistance to cracking and does not allow water infiltration.

Also, the tarpaulin does not yellow, deteriorate, or grow mold. Thanks to the resistant material, it does not tear even after repeated use.

The screen printing technique: how to highlight a logo

The company name and the logo it has are often enough to be recognized in a second. The advantage of mobile ads is that they are easy to remember even after a long time. In addition, there is the possibility that the advertisement will reach more people compared to a billboard.

If you are thinking of putting your logo on truck tarpaulins, the most suitable method is the screen printing technique. The method involves lettering using screen printing ink and stencils. Generally, screen printing is suitable for tarpaulins that are subject to frequent use, such as side curtains.

Depending on your preferences, the graphics can be made in different colors or sizes. And it can be applied to the entire surface of the tarpaulin or just on a small area, for example, on the back.

Custom truck tarpaulins through wrapping

If you have a TIR that you want to use for mobile advertising purposes or the truck does not have tarpaulins, you can choose lettering through wrapping. Why? Because it allows you to customize multiple parts of the truck body.

For example, you can apply stickers to the front of the tractor unit, the trailer doors, or the cabin doors. Now you can have the company name or contact details such as address or phone number written on them.

Wrapping technology involves contour-cutting the sticker and then applying it to the appropriate surface. Unlike other printing techniques, wrapping allows you to letter on uneven surfaces.

Wrapping involves using a special sticker that is resistant to water, oils, solvents, and dirt. Therefore, you don't have to worry that the graphics might deteriorate and your company's information would be different. We guarantee that all your customers will call the phone number you provide to us.
