6 locksmith van wrap ideas

Each image is a free watermarked WrapMockup preview. Every company is fictional. The lettering is drawn from typed text, so the name and phone come out spelled right.

1. Color block van for 24 hour lockouts

Color block locksmith van wrap concept for KeyRight Locksmith, a fictional company, black and yellow bands

Black and yellow read at night under street lights. Put "24 hour lockouts" in the band under the name.

2. Swoosh van in brass and brown

Swoosh style locksmith van wrap concept for Brass Key Lock and Safe, a fictional company, brown with gold swoosh

Brass and brown look like keys and safes. List "rekeys, locks, and safes" so homeowners and shops know the range.

3. Minimal SUV for auto keys

Minimal lettering locksmith SUV wrap concept for Unlock Now Mobile, a fictional company, white SUV with dark lettering and red accent

Many mobile locksmiths run out of an SUV. Name, phone, and "car keys and fobs" on the doors cost the least.

4. Two-tone van for commercial work

Two-tone commercial locksmith van wrap concept for Secure Point Locksmith, a fictional company, navy lower half and light gray

Navy and gray look like a security firm. Lead with "commercial locks and access" to reach property managers.

5. Stripe SUV for a solo tech

Stripe style locksmith SUV wrap concept for KeyRight Locksmith, a fictional company, black with yellow stripe

A stripe and door lettering cost less than a full wrap. It suits one tech who works lockouts across town.

6. Full color van for a lock and safe shop

Full color locksmith van wrap concept for Brass Key Lock and Safe, a fictional company, amber van with dark lettering

Full coverage makes the van a sign at every job. It costs the most and pays off on a van that is out all day.

Layout rules for a locksmith van

Make the phone the biggest line. Lockout calls come from people standing next to a locked car. The phone matters more than the logo.
Say 24 hours if you mean it. Put it under the name in one short line.
Show a license number if your state asks for one. Some states license locksmiths. Check with your state board on what must go on the vehicle.
Keep the stock out of view. Do not print key blanks or tools on the side. Name the services, not the gear inside.
Pick colors that read at night. Yellow, white, or amber on a dark van stands out under street lights. Ask your shop about reflective film for the phone line.

What each layout costs

Two shops that publish van prices give a range for each layout.

Door logos or lettering. Ardor Printing in Snohomish, WA starts door logos on both front doors at $350, and a door lettering package with logo, phone, website, and USDOT number at $495 (Ardor van wraps). Chicago Fleet Wraps starts cargo van lettering at $650 (Chicago Fleet Wraps commercial pricing).
Partial wrap. Ardor starts partials at $2,500. Chicago Fleet Wraps starts a cargo van partial at $2,300.
Full wrap. Ardor lists $3,900 to $4,800 for a compact van, $4,800 to $5,800 for a full-size low roof van, and $5,500 to $7,000 for a high roof van. Chicago Fleet Wraps starts a full cargo van wrap at $4,200, with design, cast vinyl, and a 2-year workmanship warranty included.
Design. Ardor quotes design on its own: from $1,000 for a full wrap and from $650 for a partial.

For an SUV, Ardor Printing prices a printed business wrap at $3,800 to $4,800 and starts a roof or hood wrap at $400 (Ardor Printing SUV wrap cost).

The ideas above map to these tiers. Idea 3 is lettering, ideas 1 and 5 sit between lettering and a partial, idea 4 is a partial, and ideas 2 and 6 sit between a partial and a full wrap. Read cargo van wrap cost, van lettering cost, and SUV wrap cost.

Colors that read from the street

Pick one dark color and one bright accent. Navy, charcoal, or deep green with orange, yellow, or lime reads from across a street.
Put the phone in white on a dark band, or in dark letters on white. Contrast matters more than size.
Test small. Shrink the preview to thumbnail size. If you can read the phone, a driver can.
