Thanks to my clients from 08 and the start of 09 We have been in business for about a year now. I remember this time last year the 64 in. Mutoh (highest quality printer) was still in the box.

Man I was so excited  to get the thing installed. Made some mistakes along the way with some misprints, laminating, design, but seem to always get the job done. I almost always make my deadlines or communicate with the client on any delays for a smooth business transaction. The last thing I want to do is over promise and under deliver. As I head into the second year of this vehicle wrap industry I am just as excited as I was at first. We have lot's of new and upcoming jobs and events on the horizon. Internet Marketing being one of them. Its fun and I'm giving it a real shot trying to learn something new every day.

Also we are having the open house sometime in March (we will keep you posted with an exact date) that should be a fun day. Everyone is invited from friends, neighbors, clients, business relations, and my BNI Ivyland group. The vehicle wrap training is something we are focusing on also. The people that got the training so far all had a great experience, learned a lot, had delicious food, and are probably wrapping as you are reading this because I know I showed them enough to do a full wrap no problem. So thanks for checkin in and we will keep on keepin on with the vehicle wraps, Truck wraps, we want to get into fleet wraps this year, motorcycle wraps, interior wall wraps, trailer wraps, you name it and we will wrap it. Serving philadelphia counties, Bucks County, Main Line Area, South Jersey, Delaware County, Berks County, Atlantic County NJ, and will travel farther if needed.

We finished the partial wrap for one of our clients at Fosters Mechanical. It came out really nice, we will be posting a 360 degree video also. Here are some photos we took yesterday:

   Here at Apple Graphics we are constantly trying to wrap something. I brought a bar that was being built in my garage at home to the shop. I am going to wrap the entire bar from the step to the counter top. Also we are going to wrap a wall in the shop. I hope to have all of this done by the time of the open house. I will keep you posted on this blog of the exact date of the open house. We will be asking all of our customers with any kind of graphics or vehicle wraps to stop by and check out our wall wraps, take some photos, have something to eat, a beer and wine if you choose, or just hang out and talk business for a while.

Apple Graphics belongs to BNI which is a network group and all BNI members will be invited so there will be almost every kind of business owner or rep. ranging from house painters to accountants and lawyers. So if you are looking into vehicle wraps,wall graphics, magnets, signs, banners, logo design, digital posters, vehicle wrap training, feel free to stop at the open house. thanks for checkin us out.

Today I talked to quite a few people about vehicle wrap training. I am trying to book up Wednesday's for February. I have wrap jobs for a few weeks so here is an opportunity for some people who want to learn how to wrap to get it done. Wednesdays consist of 45 minute discussions then about two and a half hours of hands on training on flat surfaces like trailer wraps and box truck wraps.

Then a catered lunch another 45 minute Qs & As and another two and a half or three hours of wrap training on a more difficult surface with some compound curves on a car, truck or van. the cost for the day is $ 650 and at the end of the day you will work on a live wrap that will come out of our wrap shop. call 215-322-WRAP(9727) or on the web at www.philadelphiavehiclewraps.com you can ask for Neal Owner and operator of Apple Graphics Inc. We try to get some of every part of the vehicle wrap process into one day. Tools, Prep, Materials, Removal, Mistakes, Finishing, and Eating. Thanks for checkin us out.

I was on the Atlantic City expressway today and a guy in a huge new Benz drove up next to me then slowed down and got behind me ( I hope he took my phone number) then speeded up next to me again and gave me a thumbs up. When you drive with such custom graphics like my truck people just stare at you. Sometimes I forget about the wrap and I think the person is looking at me like they know me.

Then I remember and say to myself (they are looking at the wrap). Here at Apple we offer custom design not just for advertising but also for customization of your vehicle, boat, trailer, race car, and more. We offer 3-D design that is unbelievable like the skull on my hood of the f-150 pick up. you can always call 215-322-WRAP(9727) to discuss any custom graphics for any type of project you art considering.

Ok, yesterday on our Facebook video I said I would finish that partial wrap last night but I had to do some finishing touches first thing today before the customer picked it up. And this company was very with all the work completed on the van we wrapped. The design is very crisp and professional looking. I will get new photos on the website in the next few days. Partial wraps are very cost effective for your advertising dollar. If a full vehicle wrap is not for you or not in your price range a partial wrap is a great option. Usually if the price of a full wrap is out of reach and someone wants to do vehicle advertising I can make it affordable with the partial wrap. All I need is a budget to work with. If you want a partial wrap I need to know how much your budget is and then we here at Apple Graphics will make a proof to show you exactly what we can do for that amount of money. Also partial wraps are popular with fleet graphics. So no matter how many trucks or vans you have in your company you can look uniform with the partial wraps.

We are working our way into the new media space by taking advantage of the latest marketing tools out there on the web.

Hey, I stopped by a sign shop to offer my services (installing wraps) and I picked up an advertisement for one of those company's that sells ads on those trailers with a sign on it with a banner in a frame. I can't believe how much they want for that. I can rent you trailer with a full wrap on it for probably half of that. I mean it was like $ 6,000 per month to have it driven around for a certain amount of hours a day.

I have enclosed trailers (wrapped with your business logo and design for rent starting at $ 499 per month. there are start up fees that go along that can vary on design and size).  Anyway you can always call me for more info or pricing at 215-322-WRAP(9727) Apple graphics Inc www.philadelphiavehiclewraps.com

I was driving in my wrapped truck today going through ice, snow and rain with little pieces of salt from the road spinning up into my wheel wells  and thought how happy I was that there is a wrap on my truck because it will protect the factory paint and when I do a wrap removal it will come off clean. Anyway I just called Fellers and ordered 75 feet of cream cheese (54in) which is what I refer to when I use Avery MPI 1005 EZ RS 2.1 Mil Cast Gloss White Inkjet Vinyl. I call it that because it applies so smooth to the vehicle it spreads like cream cheese on a bagel. Thats it for today from Apple Graphics Inc. 215-322-WRAP(9727) www.philadelphiavehiclewraps.com for all your vehicle wrap, signs, and banner needs.
