New to fleet branding? Start with these essential questions.
We provide comprehensive fleet branding solutions including vehicle wraps, truck curtain graphics, partial wraps, decal production, design services, nationwide installation, fleet management, and brand consistency consulting. We're your single source for all fleet branding needs.
Our team brings over 35 years of combined experience in fleet branding and vehicle graphics. While Connecting Brands is a newer company, our experts have been transforming fleets across Australia for decades, bringing proven expertise and fresh innovation to every project.
We're the only fleet branding company that combines in-house design, premium materials, nationwide certified installers, and dedicated project management. Our "Brand Guardian" approach ensures perfect consistency across every vehicle, every location, every time.
We work with businesses of all sizes! Whether you have one van or 1,000 trucks, we provide the same level of professional service, quality materials, and attention to detail. Many of our large fleet clients started with us when they had just a few vehicles.
We serve all industries including logistics, construction, retail, food service, healthcare, utilities, government, and more. Our experience spans refrigerated transport, emergency vehicles, mobile services, and specialized equipment.
Design
Questions about design, branding, and maintaining visual consistency.
We create detailed brand guidelines and vehicle-specific templates for every fleet. Our centralized production ensures exact color matching, and our quality control process verifies every installation against your brand standards. This "Brand Guardian" approach guarantees consistency.
Yes! Our in-house design team can create or refine your brand identity, ensuring it works perfectly on vehicles. We understand how logos, colors, and messaging translate to moving billboards and design accordingly.
Absolutely! We provide photorealistic 3D renderings of your exact vehicles with the proposed graphics applied. You'll see exactly how your fleet will look before we print a single decal, and we offer unlimited revisions until you're 100% satisfied.
Yes, we use advanced color matching technology and work with Pantone, CMYK, RGB, and custom color systems. Our color calibration process ensures your brand colors are reproduced accurately across all materials and vehicles.
We prefer vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) for the best quality, but we can work with high-resolution raster files (PNG, JPG, TIFF). If you only have low-resolution files, our design team can recreate your graphics to ensure crisp, professional results.
Quality
Learn about our premium materials and quality standards.
We exclusively use premium cast vinyl from industry leaders like 3M, Avery Dennison, and Arlon. These materials are specifically designed for vehicle applications, offering superior conformability, durability, and color retention.
Our high-quality wraps typically last 5-7 years with proper care. Factors affecting longevity include sun exposure, washing frequency, garage storage, and climate. We offer materials rated for up to 10 years for maximum durability.
Yes, all our materials are engineered to withstand Australian weather conditions including intense UV, heat, rain, and salt air. They're fade-resistant, waterproof, and include UV inhibitors to maintain vibrant colors throughout their lifespan.
Yes! We offer PVC-free and recyclable vinyl options, use eco-solvent inks, and have recycling programs for removed graphics. Our sustainable options provide the same quality and durability as traditional materials.
Cast vinyl is premium material that conforms to complex curves and lasts 5-7+ years. Calendared vinyl is more economical, best for flat surfaces, lasting 3-5 years. We recommend the right material based on your vehicle type, budget, and longevity needs.
Install
Everything about our installation process and nationwide coverage.
Installation times vary: partial graphics take 2-4 hours, full wraps on vans/utes take 1-2 days, and large trucks take 2-3 days. We schedule efficiently to minimize your downtime and can work nights/weekends if needed.
Yes! We offer mobile installation services for fleet convenience. We just need a clean, covered area protected from wind and weather. For complex wraps, we may recommend our certified installation facilities for optimal results.
Yes, we have a network of certified installers across Australia. Every installer is trained to our standards and uses our quality procedures. This ensures consistent results whether your vehicles are in Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, or regional areas.
We create detailed rollout schedules, can work on multiple vehicles simultaneously, offer after-hours installation, and coordinate with your operations team. For large fleets, we can establish temporary on-site facilities to maximize efficiency.
We offer express services for urgent needs. With our in-house production and nationwide network, we can typically accommodate rush requests. We maintain material stock for quick turnaround and have dedicated express production capabilities.
Costs
Understanding the investment in your fleet's transformation.
Costs vary based on vehicle size, coverage area, and design complexity. Partial wraps start from $500-$1,500, full van wraps typically range $2,500-$4,000, and large trucks can be $4,000-$8,000. We provide detailed quotes for your specific needs.
Yes! We offer volume discounts for fleet projects. The more vehicles you wrap, the better the per-unit pricing. We also offer package deals that include design, production, and installation for maximum value.
Key factors include vehicle size and type, coverage area (partial vs. full), design complexity, material choice, quantity of vehicles, installation location, and timeline requirements. We'll explain all costs clearly in your quote.
No hidden fees! Our quotes include design, materials, printing, and installation. Any additional services like vehicle preparation, rush delivery, or special requirements are clearly itemized. We believe in complete transparency.
Yes, we offer flexible payment terms for qualified businesses including progress payments for large projects and partnerships with finance providers. We can structure payments to align with your budget cycle and cash flow needs.
Care
Keep your fleet looking fresh and professional for years.
Hand washing with mild soap and water is best. Use a soft sponge or cloth, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a chamois. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on edges. Regular cleaning prevents dirt buildup and extends wrap life.
Touchless car washes are safe for wrapped vehicles. Avoid brush washes as they can damage the vinyl. If using pressure washers, keep the nozzle at least 30cm away and avoid directing water at wrap edges or seams.
Avoid petroleum-based cleaners, abrasive tools, and prolonged sun exposure when parked. Don't use ice scrapers on wrapped surfaces, and address any damage promptly. Regular maintenance and covered parking when possible significantly extend wrap life.
Yes! We offer maintenance programs including regular inspections, cleaning services, minor repair work, and warranty support. Our fleet maintenance packages help maximize your investment and keep vehicles looking their best.
Our comprehensive warranty covers material defects, adhesion issues, premature fading, and installation workmanship. Warranty periods vary by material type (typically 3-5 years). We also offer extended warranty options for additional peace of mind.
Vehicles
From trucks to trains, we brand them all.
Yes! We have extensive experience with refrigerated vehicles. We use specialized materials that adhere to textured surfaces and withstand temperature extremes. Our installers understand the unique challenges of reefer units.
Absolutely! We wrap excavators, cranes, bulldozers, and all types of construction equipment. We use heavy-duty materials designed for harsh conditions and can include safety markings and compliance requirements.
Yes, truck curtain graphics are one of our specialties! We print directly onto curtain material or apply graphics to existing curtains. This is a cost-effective way to brand curtain-siders with easy changeability for different campaigns.
Yes! We use marine-grade materials specifically designed for water exposure and salt air. From small boats to large vessels, we can apply graphics that withstand marine environments while looking great.
Absolutely! We're experienced with all EV models including Tesla, BYD, and others. EVs are ideal for wrapping as they often have smooth surfaces and fewer complex curves. We ensure wraps don't interfere with sensors or charging ports.
Process
Understanding our streamlined process from quote to completion.
From approval to installation: Single vehicles typically 5-7 business days. Small fleets (5-10 vehicles) 2-3 weeks. Large fleet rollouts are scheduled based on your operational needs, often completed in phases to minimize disruption.
We assign a dedicated project manager who coordinates with all locations, schedules installations to suit each site, ensures consistent quality across all locations, and provides regular updates. Materials are pre-produced and distributed for efficiency.
We offer unlimited design revisions until you're 100% satisfied. Our process includes initial concepts within 48 hours, collaborative refinement, 3D mockups for approval, and final artwork preparation. Most designs are finalized within 3-5 rounds.
Every project undergoes our 5-point quality process: design verification, color calibration, material inspection, installation certification, and post-install photography. We document each vehicle and provide quality reports for your records.
Absolutely! We understand operational requirements and offer flexible scheduling including nights, weekends, staged rollouts, and working around peak periods. Your project manager will create a schedule that minimizes impact on your operations.
