Full vehicle wrap Dubai
A full wrap covers the entire exterior with printed vinyl graphics, including the bodywork, bonnet and doors. It provides maximum visual impact and is widely used by corporate fleets, delivery companies and promotional vehicles. Full wraps require RTA and CID approval.
Partial vehicle wrap Dubai
A partial wrap covers specific sections, typically the rear, doors or side panels, and leaves other areas in the original vehicle colour. It suits businesses that want brand visibility at a lower cost than a full wrap, and it is available for cars, vans and trucks.
Cut vinyl vehicle graphics Dubai
Cut vinyl graphics are logos, text and shapes cut from coloured vinyl sheets and applied to specific areas of the vehicle body. This is the most cost-effective vehicle branding option for showing a company name, contact number and logo on vans and trucks without a full or partial wrap. For custom-shaped sticker graphics, see our die-cut stickers.
Car branding Dubai
Businesses, sales teams and individual professionals use car branding to show company identity on personal and company cars. Options include a full wrap, a partial wrap or cut vinyl graphics, depending on the requirement and budget. All car branding in Dubai requires RTA and CID approval.
Van and truck branding Dubai
Delivery companies, construction firms, maintenance services and logistics businesses use van and truck branding across their commercial fleets. Large format printing in vinyl gives these vehicles high visibility on Dubai roads and highways throughout the day.
Fleet vehicle branding Dubai
Fleet branding applies consistent graphics across multiple vehicles. The project runs from a single design approval through to installation on every vehicle, so each one carries identical branding. RTA and CID documentation is handled for all fleet vehicles.
Which Vehicles Can Be Branded?
Vehicle branding is available for cars, SUVs, sedans, vans, minibuses, trucks, buses and commercial fleet vehicles. Each vehicle type needs specific template dimensions and a suitable installation approach to give a clean, bubble-free finish.
Common Applications of Vehicle Branding in Dubai
- Company cars and corporate vehicles
- Delivery vans and logistics fleets
- Service and maintenance vehicles
- Promotional and campaign vehicles
- Taxi and ride-hailing branding
Projects have been completed for corporate fleets, delivery companies, construction firms, real estate agencies and individual businesses. See also our wider sticker printing in Dubai range.
RTA and CID Approval for Vehicle Branding in Dubai
All vehicle branding in Dubai requires approval from the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and CID. Designs must comply with RTA and CID regulations covering layout, content, size and placement, and artwork is prepared in line with these standards.
Zahrat Al Madina Printing manages the full RTA and CID process, including the compliance documentation, so businesses do not need to handle it themselves.
How the process works:
- Share your vehicle type and brand guidelines.
- The in-house design team prepares artwork from your brand guidelines, the vehicle template and the surface dimensions.
- You approve the design.
- The team handles the RTA and CID documentation and approval.
- The vehicle is installed with the approved branding.
How Long Does Vehicle Branding Take?
Vehicle branding for cars and vans typically takes 2 to 3 business days after design approval. Larger vehicles, such as trucks and buses, may need more time depending on surface area and design complexity. RTA and CID approval timelines are separate and are managed by our team as part of the full service.
Vehicle Branding Cost in Dubai
Cost depends on vehicle size, branding type and design complexity. Cut vinyl graphics are the most affordable option, while full wraps for large trucks sit at the higher end. For an accurate quote, contact us on WhatsApp with your vehicle type and branding requirements.
