Tools for full wraps: our latest product innovations
A full wrap and its tools
What is a full wrap?
A full wrap consists of covering the entire bodywork of a vehicle with a vinyl film. The film is specially designed for this purpose. This wrapping technique offers both protection for your car’s bodywork and a look all of its own. Full vehicle wraps have become an established trend in the automotive industry. Indeed, it allows vehicle owners to assert their own style through a unique finish. At HEXIS, we have self-adhesive films to suit all tastes and every style. From chrome appearance to satin finish, not forgetting matt and gloss, all styles are in store at HEXIS.
To go even further, vinyl film acts as protection against external damage that can harm the original paintwork on a vehicle. Furthermore, a full wrap allows you to customise the look of your vehicle without limits. Our range of colours is extensive, so that you can choose the tint that best matches your wishes. A full wrap can be used both for personal and professional purposes. Indeed, wrapping a car to turn it into a marketing object is also very trendy. Transforming the bodywork of your vehicle into marketing advertising can allow you to stand out on the road.
Another advantage of a full wrap is that it is reversible. The vinyl film can indeed be removed without damaging the original paintwork of the vehicle.
