Bus and coach wrapping, from team coaches to double-deckers

We wrapped seven double-decker buses and five trucks for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Pageant, to a deadline that didn't move, for an audience of millions. We wrap West Ham United's team coach and matchday buses. And we wrap tour buses, school coaches, shuttle buses and private hire coaches for operators across Surrey and London, indoors, in a Caterham unit built to take them.

Bus wrapping and coach wrapping are the same discipline at different scales. If you've got a coach and a brief, we've almost certainly done something like it.

West Ham United team coach wrap

“Our team are able to speak to our Wrap Cube Account Manager 24/7 and arrange emergency fixes for damaged vehicles or change our vehicle bookings at the last minute. We wouldn’t trust our fleet with anyone else.”

Time and cost

A full coach wrap is typically three to five days including settle time. A partial or campaign wrap, one to three days. Pricing is per vehicle and depends on size, coverage and how many fittings need working round. As a guide, a full coach or double-decker wrap is a four-figure job rising to five figures for large vehicles with full roof coverage; campaign panels and partials are considerably less. Fleets of buses are planned and priced as a fleet.

How it runs

How a coach wrap runs

{01} Brief and survey

Vehicle type, fittings (mirrors, vents, destination boards, wheelchair lifts), artwork or brand files, and the deadline.

{02} Panel map and proof

Artwork on a template of your exact vehicle. On a coach, seam placement across curved rear panels and around the windows is the whole game.

{03} Print and laminate

HP latex on 3M IJ180 or Avery MPI cast film, laminated.

{04} Preparation and install

Indoors at Caterham, at a controlled temperature, with proper access to the roof and high panels. Sequenced so the joins land where they're least visible.

{05} Inspection and handover

Every panel, every edge, before the vehicle leaves.

Materials that survive a

Materials that survive a bus's life

Buses get washed hard, often, with strong chemicals, and they live outside. We fit cast film, laminated, because it holds on big panels and over rivets and doesn't shrink back from its edges. Three to five years is the fair expectation for printed livery; longer for self-coloured film. As a 3M Select Gold Partner, the film is fitted to spec with the manufacturer's warranty.

Before you book

The Jubilee job, briefly

Twelve vehicles, seven of them double-deckers, all wrapped to a single date that could not move, for a pageant broadcast live.

What it needed: artwork proofed on templates of each bus type, film printed and laminated in batches, vehicles scheduled through the unit in an order that kept the operator running, and a team that checked every panel before release because there was no second chance.
It's the project we point to when an operator asks whether we can handle numbers and deadlines.
Good to know

What we need from you to quote a coach

The vehicle type, whether you want the roof covered, and details of destination boards, mirrors, vents, luggage doors and the wheelchair lift if fitted.

The make, model and body (Plaxton, Irizar, Van Hool, Wrightbus, ADL).
Your artwork or brand files, and the date it needs to be back.
With those, we'll send a proof on a template of your body type and an itemised price, usually within two working days.
