• Gloss Wrap - is a wrap that resembles classic paintwork because the finish look is smooth and glossy just like fresh
paint on a car. This wrap is practically available in every colour and available with metallic flakes in the wrap.
• Satin Wrap – is glossier than matte, but not completely glossy like gloss wrap is. In the satin wrap you don’t see a
clear reflection as you would with the gloss wrap, but you will see more light reflected than a matte wrap.
• Matte Wrap – will show very little reflection. However it is a fairly uncommon wrap.
• Brushed Wrap – there are two types of wrap in this form:
– A wrap with the brushed texture,
– A wrap with a print of a brushed material.
• The first version will look more authentic this is because it will have much less of a sharp reflection (which is
typical for the brushed look).
• Carbon Wrap – again there are two types of wrap in this form, both of which can be made glossy:
– A wrap with carbon texture in and on it
– A wrap with the looks of carbon printed on
• Custom Print Wrap – a custom print can have any image printed on the wrap. This can be things like a flag, a
comic character, text, a certain type of material or effect etc. These can be made like matte wrap or gloss wrap.
• Cut Out Shape – often referred to as decal or stickers but are essentially the same as a car wrap. A machine cuts
out a certain shape from the vinyl wrap. The shape is then applied on the surface in a similar way to applying
wrap.
