Building Wraps Information
What is a Building Wrap?
A building wrap is a large-scale graphic used to cover the exterior of buildings during construction or renovation. It serves both functional and promotional purposes, often featuring logos or imagery to advertise the project or company involved. Made from durable, weather-resistant materials like heavy-duty polyester mesh, these wraps are printed using eco-friendly Dye-Sub methods. Building wraps may include small holes to reduce wind load, ensuring safety in windy conditions. For installations without scaffolding, wire cable frames and bungee cords are used for a secure, long-lasting fit.

Designing a Building Wrap
When designing a building wrap, it’s crucial to consider the message, imagery, and dimensions of the building. The wrap should be legible and impactful from a distance. Accurate measurements and careful attention to detail help ensure a perfect fit and maximum visual impact. For more design tips, refer to our blog.
