So what is bike wrapping<\/strong>anyway?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You've probably heard of wrapping cars, but bike wrapping may still be new to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still new, that is<\/strong>, because after this post you'll know exactly what bike wrapping is and what the pros and cons are<\/strong>. So you can decide if it's right for your bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where wrapping comes from<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wrapping cars in colored film started years ago.
In the land of the great car makers, taxi drivers were stuck with the well-known beige taxi color. When it came time to sell, those cars were almost impossible to shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fix: film. It changed the car's color, so drivers could order a white or black car that was easy to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Car tuners soon picked this up and liked the idea of 'wrapping' too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From German taxis to bikes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Between the German taxis and the bikes, film really took off. Motorsport and tuners picked it up, and ad companies use it all the time. These days it's used for more than just a new color<\/strong>. After saving up for a new car, it's nice to protect it well<\/strong>. Clear film protects cars from stone chips and scratches. More and more things got wrapped: scooters, whole kitchens, even lawn mowers. Buuuut\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A specialist company for putting vinyl film on bikes didn't exist yet, while we bike lovers wanted a new color on our bikes too. Bike makers don't offer that much choice, after all. And that's how bike wrapping was born. With Wrap My Bike, we became a specialist company <\/strong>that wraps bikes in vinyl film.<\/strong> And we're proud of that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film we use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As with car wraps, we use vinyl film. In our case, film from the brands 3M<\/strong><\/a> and Avery<\/strong><\/a>. These brands have hundreds of factory colors, which already gives you lots of options. We can also customize: we print the film with a special design, just the way you want it. Anything is possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
