How to Pitch a Fleet Wrap Without Wasting Hours on Design
Share
Winning a commercial fleet contract is a numbers game. You have to submit high-quality visual mockups to win the bid, but you cannot afford to spend four hours doing highly technical prepress layout on a job that hasn't even been awarded yet.
You need a workflow that separates the pitch from the production.
Step 1: The Pitch (Free JPG Mockups) Clients do not care about bezier curves, bleed margins, or RIP software compatibility. They just want to see what their logo looks like on the side of a 2025 Chevy Silverado.
Every single one of the 18,350+ vehicles in the GravBase library comes with a completely free 300 dpi JPG mockup file alongside the free SVG. You can download the JPG, drop it into Photoshop or Illustrator, slap the client's branding on the side, and email them a high-quality visual in 15 minutes. It costs you nothing, and it secures the deposit.
Step 2: The Production (Design-Ready EPS) Once the client signs the contract and pays the deposit, you shift to production mode. This is where precision matters.
Instead of trying to manually convert your quick mockup into a print-ready file, you go back to GravBase and download the $4.99 Design-Ready PDF/EPS. This file is explicitly built for your plotter. The panel seams, door cuts, and trim breaks are already separated and placed at a mathematically perfect 1:20 scale. You drop your approved artwork into the pre-configured layers, add your bleed, and send it to the RIP software.
Protect Your Margins Do not do production-level prepress for free. Use the free JPGs to win the pitch, and spend the $4.99 to execute the job flawlessly.
