NEW YORK, July 27, 2015 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- JMR Graphics is an industry-leading designer and manufacturer oftrailer graphics and vehicle wraps in the United States.

They also must ensure there are enough trucks are on the road to meet consumer demands.

To keep your fleet productive during graphics installation, avoid these four mistakes:

1. Overlooking Logistics

Many fleet managers make logistical errors, such as removing too many vehicles at once for vinyl application and preparation. This could mean losing productivity and revenue.

However, paying graphics providers to wait on vehicles is also expensive. Before wrapping your fleet, discuss logistics with your installer to minimize the overall cost.

2. Installing Graphics in the Wrong Environment

Vehicle graphics require a certain environment during installation. It must be warm and clean. If it is too cold, then the adhesive vinyl may shrink or lift.

You should ensure the graphics installer works in temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit with a maximum humidity of 50 percent. Installing outdoors in the winter could be a costly mistake.

3. Ignoring the Vehicle's Condition

Damaged vehicles are much less suited for car wraps. Graphics are unlikely to stick to oxidized surfaces, and you cannot hide or cover substrate damage with a wrap. Ignoring the vehicle's condition may lead to an expensive redo, which will delay installation and keep your vehicles off the road.

4. Making Style and Description Errors

Style and description errors can lead to costly, time-intensive mistakes during the production phase. Examples include providing incomplete or incorrect vehicle descriptions, neglecting to mention windows on box vans, or forgetting to detail a trailer's skirts.
