Partial truck wrap ideas

Short answer: a partial truck wrap prints part of the truck and lets the paint be the background. The best layouts put your name on the doors and your phone on the tailgate. Queen of Wraps lists partial truck wraps at $1,500 to $3,000. USA Wrap Co puts partials at 40 to 60 percent of the full wrap cost.

7 partial truck wrap layouts

Rear half fade. Print the bed sides and tailgate, then fade or cut into the factory color at the cab. Your name sits big on the bed side, where the panel is flat.
Doors and tailgate. The smallest layout that works. Logo and trade on both doors, phone number and website on the tailgate. People behind you in traffic read the tailgate longest.
Cab wrap, bed in paint. Wrap the cab and leave the bed in paint. USA Wrap Co says a cab-only wrap starts around $2,000. It suits trucks with a toolbox, rack or topper over the bed.
Lower band. A printed band along the rocker panels and lower doors, with lettering above it. Bold on a white truck, and it hides road grime.
Diagonal slash. One angled color block from the rear wheel up toward the cab. It reads as motion, and your name sits inside the block.
Box sides, cab in paint. On a box truck, wrap the box and leave the cab in paint with a door logo. Chicago Fleet Wraps lists box truck partials at $3,500 to $5,500.
Hood and doors. For trucks that park nose out at job sites, put the logo on the hood and the phone on the doors.

Design rules for a partial wrap

Design to the paint color. The truck color is half the design. White, black and silver trucks each need a different print color to read.
Keep the name biggest. Queen of Wraps says a wrap has about three seconds to answer who you are, what you do and how to reach you.
One phone number, large. Put it on the tailgate or rear doors, where drivers behind you see it longest.
Hide the seam. End the print at a body line or panel gap so the edge looks planned.
Plan for the fleet. If you add a second truck, the same layout should fit it. See fleet vehicle wraps.

Partial wrap or lettering?

If the truck sits at job sites most of the day, a partial wrap can do as much as a full one. If it needs a name, phone and license number and nothing else, lettering costs less. See vehicle decals for business and pickup truck lettering ideas.

For vans, see partial van wrap ideas. For trades, see work truck wrap ideas, handyman van wrap ideas, and construction truck wrap ideas. For the smallest partial, read tailgate wrap cost or hood wrap cost.
