Avery and 3m are both some of the most popular vinyl wraps available on the market today. Consumers often come to us with questions about choosing one material over the other. When looking at Avery vs. 3M vinyl wrap, you may ask about the benefits and tradeoffs. Whatever questions you may have, here is more information about two of the most popular vinyl brands: Avery Dennison and 3M.
Best Car Wrap Vinyl Wraps
Our experts have elected to use vinyl products from two major vendors: Avery Dennison, more commonly called Avery, and 3M.
3M
Arguably, 3M is one of the industry’s most well-known companies, partly because its product lines stretch over the automotive sector. They’ve got excellent adhesive chemistry and innovative designs backing them up.
Avery
Like 3M, Avery Dennison offers various vinyl colors and durability grades. In general, we use Avery’s products whenever we can and then use vinyl from a 3M catalog if Avery’s supply chains couldn’t get us what we needed. Both companies have good track records for helping customers get their vehicles wrapped just the way they want them.
The Reason Why These Vehicle Wrap Material Brands Will Be The Best Option
Automotive experts widely recognize both Avery and 3M, and they make products that tend to stay intact for around 5-7 years, depending on their usage. That means motorists who have their cars wrapped in 2021 may be able to keep the same exterior vinyl coating through 2026 or even longer.
The Vinyl Used Depends on the Project
Team Acme doesn’t use just one type of vinyl when we wrap a vehicle. We choose the best one for the project.
Why? It’s simple: different kinds of vinyl are better for specific purposes. The purpose and intended duration of the vinyl wraps can vary by the customer to a large extent. Sometimes customers want the vinyl to last for seven years, while others wish for the vinyl to last a few months. We base the type of adhesive we use on information and goals of this kind.
Team Acme uses vinyl manufactured by Avery and 3M. The kind of vinyl we use for a wrap made for your car will depend on what type of design you want, how long you want the wrap to last, and the condition of your vehicle.
Avery Vinyl – One Of The Best Vinyl Vehicle Wraps Available
Several key features make Avery vinyl vehicle wraps work so well. Among these are application speed and the design options in terms of color and texture Avery offers. For example, Avery has a particular line of pastel tones in creative, off-beat hues like light pistachio and sea-breeze blue.
We’re located in Nevada, where the hot sun and dust storms can be tough on the hulls of vehicles. However, we’ve noticed certain features of Avery wraps that make them one of our go-tos. These include the following:
- Top-tier performance
- Extreme durability
- Easy-to-apply adhesive tech (particular patent by Avery)
- A colored film with a protective layer
- One-piece, convenient design and choice. Lots of color and texture options
Why Do We Love Avery Wraps?
- They save time on waiting for your installation or repositioning
- No waiting for printing and lamination- ready for application out-of-the-box
Note that vehicle graphic designers use this wrap to make hulls pop.
3M Wraps: Protective Vehicle Wraps In Creative Colors And Textures
If you’re looking for something genuinely distinct for the outside of your vehicle, 3M is ready with several options. Here at Team Acme, we’re proud to use these wraps. They’ve got trustworthy adhesive chemistry and innovative designs.
If you want to invest in a wrap you can trust for a long-term result, we recommend 3M. 3M has been in the game longer than many other companies that offer vinyl vehicle wraps, and they have the science of a weather-proof, bubble-free adhesive wrap down pat. With these wraps, you’ll never feel limited as they sport over 100+ colors in varying shades, textures, glosses, and palettes.
If you want to turn heads, try some more distinctive 3M looks, like the oil-slick look of the carbon fiber 1080 series.
The Advantages Shared by Avery and 3M Vinyl
The brand of vinyl Team Acme uses for your vehicle might depend on the color(s) you want for the graphic or solid color we create for your car. Avery and 3M offer hundreds upon hundreds of vinyl colors and grades. If 3M can supply something we need that Avery can’t, then we will use vinyl made by 3M.
In general, Avery and 3M are reliable and trusted brands. Team Acme has used both vinyl brands for many years, and we usually do not have any problems with Avery and 3M vinyl cracking, fading, or peeling.
Vinyl manufactured by Avery and 3M stays intact for 5 to 7 years, but it always depends on the vehicle’s location and how well the wrap is maintained.
People often ask us what sort of vinyl vehicle wraps will be popular in any given period. The truth is that it can be hard to predict. Many people have creative ideas for what they want to do with their cars!
Why Is Vinyl Wrap Important
Due to significant changes in society and the world, many people have turned to vinyl wraps to get out advertising messages. Some people feel that it’s one of the most effective ways of getting a message to potential consumers. On top of this, some people have commented on environmental and social issues.
Climate Change
Due in part to the depletion of the ozone layer, an increased amount of ultraviolet radiation plays havoc on motor vehicles. At the same time, many people are concerned about keeping their vehicles clean for reasons related to fuel economy. In some cases, they can even help keep cars on the road longer, thus necessitating fewer resources to produce additional ones. A vinyl vehicle wrap can help to assuage both of these concerns.
Social Life
There’s no reason someone who has a car that’s no longer in fashion needs to replace it or even get it repainted when they can get a vinyl wrap to cover it. Many people who invest in cars to promote their social status have opted to get a protective covering to protect the underlying paint.
