Rent our wrap bay in Chicago: a heated space held at 65 to 75 degrees year-round, so vinyl behaves the way the manufacturer specs it even in a Chicago February. Bring your own job and work in conditions most shops cannot offer.

Frequently Asked
Bay rental FAQ
Do I have to bring my own vinyl?
Yes. The bay rental rate covers the space and the in-house tools. Vinyl, lamination, and printing are quoted separately. CFW can print on HP Latex with Avery MPI 1105 or 3M IJ180-CV3 if you want us to handle production. Just ask in the form.
Can Roy or a CFW installer help on my job?
Yes. At $125/hr with 48-hour notice. Useful for tricky panels, deep recesses, or training. Note in the booking form whether you want assistance, hands-off space only, or a full handoff.
What's the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation with 48 hours notice. Inside 48 hours, the deposit holds the slot. You can reschedule once within 30 days. No-shows forfeit the deposit.
Do you allow paint or body work?
No. The bay is wrap-only. No paint, primer, filler, or solvents. Contamination risks the next vinyl install. We can refer you to local body shops for prep work before your bay session.
What size vehicles fit?
Sprinters, Transits, ProMasters, full-size pickups, SUVs, and box trucks up to 26 ft. The bay has a 14 ft garage door. Buses and tractor-trailers do not fit. Call before booking anything bigger than a box truck.
Is overnight storage available?
Yes for active multi-day rentals. The bay stays heated and secured overnight at no extra charge. Standalone storage outside an active rental is quote-on-request.
How fast do you confirm a booking?
Within 2 business hours during shop hours (Mon-Fri 8am–5pm). Confirmation includes the bay agreement, COI requirements, and a deposit link.
