Commercial Vehicle Wraps in New Jersey

A good number of the vehicles that work Manhattan every day sleep in New Jersey. They come in through the Lincoln and Holland tunnels or over the George Washington Bridge in the morning and go back the same way at night. Those fleets, based in Hudson, Bergen, Essex and Union counties, are a regular part of our work even though our shop is in Long Island City.

Design and printing are done in-house at 4700 Northern Blvd on 3M, Avery Dennison and Oracal cast films, each print finished with a UV laminate. The people who cut the file are usually the ones laying it on the truck.

New Jersey clients fall into two groups. Companies with a single van or a few cars tend to drive in, cross Manhattan and take the Midtown Tunnel to Queens. Warehouses and logistics operators with a dozen vehicles have us set up at their dock for the day. Which one fits depends on how many vehicles you have and how long you can spare them.

What we wrap in New Jersey

The vehicles New Jersey businesses actually run

Port and logistics vehicles around Newark and Elizabeth

Straight trucks, cargo vans and yard vehicles that run between the port, the airport and the distribution centers along the Turnpike. Lettering and USDOT markings are most of this work, with box graphics for trucks on delivery routes.

Contractor vans from Jersey City and Hoboken

Electricians, plumbers and renovation crews that work the city but park on the Jersey side. A partial wrap on a Transit or Sprinter holds up to the daily tunnel commute and street parking.

Event and activation vehicles

Vans, SUVs and step vans staged in a New Jersey warehouse before rolling into Manhattan for a launch or a pop-up. We wrap them at the staging location and can strip the graphics afterward.

Delivery and last-mile fleets

Cargo vans and small box trucks serving North Jersey suburbs. These fleets grow a few vehicles at a time, so we keep the artwork ready and print new sets that match the vans wrapped a year earlier.

Executive and brand vehicles

SUVs and passenger cars getting a full color or printed wrap without a permanent change to the paint. This work is done in the bay in Queens, where the finish can be checked under proper lighting.

Logistics

Working in New Jersey

Driving in from New Jersey

From Hudson and Bergen, the Lincoln Tunnel to the Queens-Midtown Tunnel is the direct route and puts you near Northern Blvd. From the GWB, the Cross Bronx to the Triborough skips Manhattan streets entirely. Arrive early and leave the vehicle for the day.

On-site at your warehouse or yard

For fleets in Newark, Elizabeth, Kearny or Secaucus we bring the panels and crew to you. A covered loading dock or an empty bay is ideal, and we coordinate with your dispatcher so the morning's vehicles are back before the crew arrives.

Choosing between the two

Below about four vehicles, driving in is simpler and the bay gives a cleaner result on full wraps. Above that, the crew hours lost to the drive usually outweigh the convenience of the bay. We will tell you which side of that line your fleet sits on.

Staging before a Manhattan event

For activations we work backward from the event date. Proofs are approved a week ahead, panels are printed and cured, and the install happens at the staging warehouse a day or two before the vehicle needs to be in the city.

Common questions from New Jersey

Do you come out to New Jersey, or do we have to bring the trucks to Queens?+

Both. We regularly send a crew to warehouses and yards in Hudson, Essex and Union counties for fleet work. Single vehicles and full wraps belong in the bay in Long Island City, where we control light, dust and temperature.

Our vehicles are registered in NJ. Does that change the lettering?+

The markings a truck needs depend on how it is used and its weight, not only on where it is registered. Tell us what the vehicle does and where it travels, and we will size and place the USDOT and company lettering accordingly.

Can you wrap a vehicle at a staging warehouse in NJ and strip it after the event?+

Yes. We use cast films that remove cleanly from factory paint, and we can schedule the removal at the same warehouse once the activation is over. This is a normal part of handling event vehicles that live in New Jersey between shows.

How far ahead should a New Jersey fleet book?+

For a mobile install day, two to three weeks lets us get proofs approved, panels printed and a crew scheduled around your dispatch. Single vehicles at the bay can usually be fitted in sooner, depending on the week.

Let's scope your project.

Send the vehicle list and artwork status; we'll come back with a scope and timeline, in the bay at 4700 Northern Blvd or on site in New Jersey.
