We have installed 19,400+ wraps, and color changes are some of the cleanest, sitting over the factory paint and peeling off when you are done. We print, laminate, and install under one roof, so nothing gets handed off or lost. Crews working around Elmhurst use it to look bigger than they are.
How Do Elmhurst Customers Get Their Vehicles to Chicago Fleet Wraps?
Elmhurst is close enough that plenty of owners simply drive in and take a ride back from us while the van is on the bench. For anything over two vehicles we collect from your address instead, at no charge, and drop each unit back as it finishes. The shop is at 4711 N Lamon Ave #7, open Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Every Elmhurst vehicle is wrapped at our shop in Portage Park. We print the panels in house on HP Latex and install them ourselves, with no subcontractor in the chain.
Two ways across: Harlem south to North Avenue and west, or I-290 out to Route 83. Either is about 14 miles. Being this close changes the schedule more than people expect. A proof signed on Monday usually has the van back in Elmhurst by the end of the week, and if a panel needs a second look we can have it on the bench the same morning instead of booking another long haul.

Artwork, Color Matching and Proofs for Elmhurst Jobs
Two in-house designers do the layout, and the thing that holds up most Elmhurst jobs is not the design. It is the logo file. A logo pulled off a website is a few hundred pixels wide and goes to mush at the scale of a Transit side panel. Vector art, an .ai or .eps or a layered .pdf, scales to any size without losing an edge. If all you have is a photo of an old business card, we redraw it first, and that redraw happens before the proof rather than after.
Brand color is the second thing worth sorting early. A screen is backlit and printed vinyl is not, so the two never agree on their own. A Pantone reference, or a physical piece of your existing signage, gives us something solid to hold the printed output against. Without one you are approving a color on a monitor and then judging it on a van in a parking lot.
The proof you sign is a flat drawing of each elevation with the door seams, the fuel filler, the mirrors and the sliding door track marked on it. Anything that crosses a seam or lands under a handle gets moved at that stage, because moving it on a drawing is free and moving it after the print is not. Small type reads from the sidewalk and nowhere else, so the trade and the phone number go large and the rest goes small on purpose.
Taking It Off Again
Elmhurst accounts sell vans on and change names more often than long-haul fleets do, so removal comes up early in the conversation. Cast vinyl and its overlaminate come off with heat and patience, not solvent, and factory paint in sound condition is not harmed by it. Resprayed panels and paint that is already failing are a different discussion, and we would rather have that discussion at the survey than on collection day. Removal is quoted as its own line, and the honest version is that film left on well past its service life takes longer to get off than film swapped on schedule.
