Overview
Fleet branding keeps your vehicles visually consistent across a mixed fleet — whether you run 5 vans or 500 trucks. We produce fleet-wide graphics packages where every vehicle follows the same brand standards: same print, same finish, same placement.
We work with corporate communications and fleet managers to produce print-ready templates for each vehicle type in the fleet, then produce and install in batches to minimise downtime.
At a Glance
Vehicle wrap printing in Dubai covers full wraps, partial wraps, and cut vinyl graphics for cars, vans, trucks, buses, and marine vessels. Printed on cast vinyl using eco-solvent or latex inks and professionally applied by certified wrappers, a full vehicle wrap transforms a fleet vehicle into a moving billboard. Dubai RTA requires vehicle wrap approval before display on public roads; Premium Prints coordinates the RTA approval process as part of the service.

How It Works
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Not preparing the vehicle surface before wrap
Wax, polish, and silicone residue prevent vinyl adhesion causing bubbling and edge lifting within weeks. The vehicle must be professionally decontaminated and clay-barred before any wrap installation.
Using calendered vinyl instead of cast
Calendered vinyl shrinks under UAE heat and peels at edges within 12–18 months. Always specify cast vinyl (3M 1080, Avery SW900) for UAE outdoor applications. The extra cost is worth it — cast wraps last 5–7 years.
Skipping RTA approval
Displaying unapproved commercial graphics on UAE public roads is a fineable offence. RTA inspectors conduct random checks. Always complete the approval process before the vehicle goes on the road.
Designing with complex gradients over panels
Door handles, mirrors, and wheel arches cause vinyl to stretch and distort. Design your artwork with these interruptions mapped in — complex gradients that cross these features will never look seamless after installation.
Requesting removal without heat tools
Attempting to remove vehicle wraps without a heat gun causes paint damage. Always use a professional installer for removal, especially on vehicles under manufacturer warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does fleet branding cost in Dubai?
Fleet branding is priced per vehicle type — vans from AED 600–2,500, pickups from AED 800–3,000, trucks from AED 2,000–8,000. Volume discounts apply from 5+ vehicles of the same type. We provide a per-vehicle rate card for your fleet mix.
How long does fleet branding take across multiple vehicles?
We typically install 3–5 vans or pickups per day. A fleet of 20 vehicles is usually completed within 5–7 working days depending on vehicle availability and schedule.
Can you brand a mixed fleet with different vehicle types?
Yes. We create separate graphic templates for each vehicle type in your fleet, ensuring the brand looks consistent across all models.
