Van wrap cost calculator: price your van in 5 steps

There is no single price for a van wrap. The price comes from five things: the size of the van, how much of it you cover, how many vans you wrap, who designs it, and whether an old wrap has to come off. This guide walks through each step with prices from shops that publish them, so you can work out a range before you call.

Step 1: Find your van size

Most shops price a wrap from the square feet of the van body. Chicago Fleet Wraps publishes a price for each model from its square footage (vehicle model price list). Every price is cast vinyl, installed. Here are common vans from its list, with the full wrap price and the per-van price for fleets of 5 to 9, 10 to 24, and 25 or more:

Vehicle Square feet Full wrap 5 to 9 10 to 24 25+
Ford Transit Connect XL SWB 245 $2,850 $2,650 $2,550 $2,400
Ford Transit 150 Low Roof 385 $4,200 $3,900 $3,750 $3,550
Chevrolet Express 1500 Standard 380 $4,150 $3,850 $3,700 $3,550
Ram ProMaster 1500 Std Roof 360 $3,950 $3,650 $3,500 $3,350
Ford Transit 250 Medium Roof 425 $4,650 $4,300 $4,150 $3,950
Ram ProMaster 2500 High Roof 480 $5,250 $4,900 $4,650 $4,450
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 High Roof LWB 545 $5,250 $4,900 $4,650 $4,450
Ford Transit 350 HD Ext High Roof 625 $6,800 $6,300 $6,050 $5,800

By our math the Transit Connect works out to $11.63 a foot, the Transit 150 Low Roof to $10.91, the ProMaster 2500 High Roof to $10.94, and the Sprinter 2500 High Roof LWB to $9.63. Small vans cost more per foot. Tall vans cost more in total.

Ardor Printing in Snohomish, WA prices by roof height instead (Ardor van wraps). It lists $3,900 to $4,800 for a compact van such as a Transit Connect or ProMaster City, $4,800 to $5,800 for a full size low roof van, and $5,500 to $7,000 for a high roof van such as a Sprinter. For a size chart, read vehicle wrap size chart.

Step 2: Pick your coverage

A full wrap is the top of the range. Less film costs less.

Shops that bill by area use a rate per foot. Art Printing Shop in Sacramento, CA bills $17 a square foot up to 50 square feet, $15 up to 100, and $13 above that, with a $550 minimum (Art Printing Shop rates). Read vehicle wrap cost per square foot, partial van wrap cost, and van lettering cost.

Step 3: Count your vans

Chicago Fleet Wraps lists fleet discounts of 3% for 2 to 4 vehicles, 7% for 5 to 9, 11% for 10 to 24, and 15% for 25 or more. Three Transit 150 Low Roof vans cost $12,600 at the single price. By our math the 3% discount takes off $378, for $12,222. Read fleet vehicle wraps.

Step 4: Add design

Chicago Fleet Wraps says its prices include design. Ardor quotes design on its own: from $1,000 for a full wrap and from $650 for a partial. By our math a high roof van at Ardor comes to $6,500 to $8,000 with full wrap design added. Read vehicle wrap design cost.

You can cut design rounds by picking a layout first. Open the free van wrap design tool, type your name, phone, and colors, and see free watermarked previews in 6 styles. Clean files cost $9 for one concept or $29 for the Fleet Pack. Take the file to your shop as the starting point.

Step 5: Add removal if the van has an old wrap

Wraptor lists $500 to $1,500 to remove an old wrap (Wraptor wrap removal range). Art Printing Shop bills removal at $75 an hour. See vehicle wrap removal cost.
