Commercial Trailer Wraps
Planned for Routes and Fleets
Build a clear graphic system for dry vans, refrigerated trailers, curtain sides, pup trailers, and compatible specialty equipment. Hawk Wraps manages design, printing, lamination, panel organization, and installation from Linden, NJ for fleets operating across NJ, NYC, CT, and PA.
Plan the Largest Panels in the Fleet With Precision
Trailer graphics must work across long viewing distances and complicated bodies. Smooth or corrugated skins, rivets, seams, swing or roll-up doors, side skirts, reflective markings, placard areas, refrigeration equipment, curtain hardware, repairs, and mixed coatings all affect the design and installation plan.
We begin with the trailer roster, body manufacturer when known, length and height, photos, door configuration, substrate, equipment, existing livery, accessible surface condition, dispatch availability, and approved brand assets. That information guides coverage, message scale, panel breaks, film selection, and unit-by-unit production files.
Design, large-format printing, lamination, labeling, and installation are managed from our 10,000 sq ft Linden facility. For fleet programs, approved layouts are adapted across compatible body types and scheduled in phases around actual trailer availability.
Graphics for Dry Vans, Reefers and Specialty Trailers
Every trailer class requires its own substrate, equipment, access, safety-marking, and installation review. Suitability is confirmed from the actual unit rather than assumed from length alone.
53ft Dry Van Trailers
Long side walls and rear doors for regional and long-haul fleet identity.
Reefer / Refrigerated Trailers
Refrigerated bodies used by food, beverage, grocery, and cold-chain operators.
Flatbed Trailers — Side Curtains & Headboards
Curtain-side trailers (Conestoga, Donovan, side-curtain Roland) and traditional flatbeds with headboards and stake-pocket rails.
48ft & 28ft Pup Trailers
Regional and LTL equipment that may need matched graphics across sets.
Tanker Trailers
Liquid and dry-bulk tankers — food-grade, chemical, fuel, and asphalt.
Intermodal Containers & Chassis
20ft and 40ft intermodal containers used in port drayage and rail-served distribution.
Livestock & Specialty Trailers
Livestock haulers, car carriers, dump trailers, and specialty single-purpose units.
What Determines the Cost of Wrapping a Trailer?
Length and coverage establish material scale, while body construction, height, corrugation, doors, rivets, equipment, reflective markings, surface condition, old graphics, artwork, quantity, access, and dispatch schedule shape the final quote.
| Trailer Type | Typical Use | High-Value Graphic Areas | Quote Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| 28 ft Pup Trailer | LTL and regional freight | Side walls and rear doors | Matched sets, doors, rivets, dispatch rotation |
| 48 ft Dry Van | Regional freight and distribution | Long side panels, rear, nose | Skin type, height, seams, existing livery |
| 53 ft Dry Van | Long-haul, parcel, LTL and 3PL | Both sides, rear doors, approved nose panels | Total area, corrugation, skirts, markings, access |
| 53 ft Reefer | Food, beverage and cold chain | Body sides and rear around equipment | Reefer access, vents, coating, operating conditions |
| Curtain-Side Trailer | Building supply, steel and lumber | Curtain system, headboard, compatible panels | Curtain material, vendor method, hardware, condition |
| Compatible Specialty Trailer | Bulk, utility or specialized operations | Approved stable surfaces | Geometry, cargo rules, placards, valves, coatings |
| 20 ft / 40 ft Intermodal | Port drayage and rail distribution | Compatible corrugated sides and ends | Container ownership, rotation, corrosion, profile depth |
For an accurate quote, send trailer count, length, height, body manufacturer and type when known, photos of every side, skin and door configuration, equipment, existing graphics, surface condition, ownership, coverage goals, artwork status, operating locations, and preferred intake window.

|---|---|---|

From Trailer Roster to Installed Fleet Graphics
From the first call to the trailer rolling out of our bay, here's how a typical trailer wrap project moves through our shop.
Roster & Configuration Review
Share trailer count, body type, length, height, doors, equipment, ownership, photos, surface condition, current livery, operating locations, and dispatch constraints.
Measurement, Design & Approval
Templates, verified measurements, and reference photos guide the layout. Graphics are planned around seams, doors, equipment, markings, placards, and useful sightlines for written approval.
Print & Panel Organization
Approved files are produced on the selected film system, laminated when specified, cut, labeled by trailer and panel, and checked against the approved proof.
Preparation, Installation & Review
The trailer is inspected, cleaned, prepared, installed by approved surface, and reviewed before release. Timing is confirmed after scope, condition, and intake planning.
Build Recognition Across Routes, Yards and Delivery Points
Trailers create broad, repeated brand surfaces wherever they travel, park, load, and unload. Actual exposure depends on routes, mileage, traffic, dwell time, viewing distance, creative quality, and fleet size, so performance should be tracked rather than assumed.

Trailer Wrap Reviews
Recent feedback from Hawk Wraps clients across New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut.
We wrapped our enclosed trailer for trade shows and corporate events throughout the Northeast. Tito understood that this trailer would represent our brand at every venue, so the finish had to be perfect. The graphics lined up beautifully across the panels, and the colors look incredible in person. It definitely attracts attention wherever we park.
Our equipment trailer was looking worn out after years on the road. Luis recommended a full wrap instead of repainting, and it completely changed the appearance. Customers now recognize our trailer before they even see our crews working. We've received compliments from other contractors asking where it was done.
We wanted our jobsite trailer to promote the company while storing equipment. Gabby coordinated the artwork approvals and kept us informed through every stage. The installation quality exceeded expectations, especially around the doors and hardware where I expected problems. Everything came out clean and professional.
Our promotional trailer travels across New York and New Jersey for product launches, so appearance is everything. Alex made sure every graphic matched our brand guidelines exactly. The finished trailer photographs beautifully at events and has become a major part of our marketing setup.
We added graphics to our enclosed trailer so it matched the rest of our fleet. The team recreated the branding perfectly and even improved the layout for better visibility on the road. Tito kept everything on schedule, and the finished trailer looks like it was built that way from the factory.
