DigiWrap Modular Wraps

Scan. Cut. Fit. Replace one panel, not a whole side.

DigiWrap Modular Wraps are our exact-fit approach to vehicle branding: a set of vehicle-specific, pre-cut graphic modules rather than a bulk roll shaped entirely on the van. We scan, design and cut the kit in advance, then fit each section in its planned position.

If you have been searching for an exact wrap style of finish — panels cut to the body, cleaner recesses, and easier repairs — this is DigiWrap’s modular system from our Sunderland workshop.

It is a controlled, repeatable way to brand working vehicles, with less on-vehicle stretching, knife-free fitting and the option to replace an individual damaged module where practical. Trades vans, Transits and small fleets get a professional, consistent look without making future repairs unnecessarily disruptive.

What is a modular vehicle wrap?

A modular wrap divides the graphics into separately produced sections designed around the relevant areas of a specific vehicle. DigiWrap uses in-house 3D scanning to capture the geometry needed for the kit. We then build the artwork around those mapped sections and computer-cut the printed vinyl before it reaches the vehicle.

This is an alternative production and fitting method, not a claim that traditional wrapping is obsolete. A conventional full or partial wrap remains the right choice for many creative finishes and complex coverage requirements. A modular kit is strongest where repeatability, planned fitting and future serviceability matter most.

Why choose DigiWrap Modular Wraps?

1. Exact vehicle-specific preparation

The process starts with the exact make, model and body configuration. Relevant areas are surveyed and, where required, captured with our in-house 3D scanner so we can work from the real body shape. The graphics are then prepared as an exact-fit, vehicle-specific set rather than being shaped entirely from bulk material at the fitting stage.

That preparation helps us control panel positions, joins and clearances before production. We confirm the exact vehicle configuration at survey and, where needed, capture a fresh 3D scan before quoting and cutting the kit.

2. Less stretching around recesses

Modules can be designed and pre-cut around recesses and channels so the installer does not have to force one large sheet across every change in shape. Reducing unnecessary stretch helps lower stress in the film and can reduce the risk of lifting in demanding areas.

No wrap method can guarantee zero lifting. Performance also depends on the vehicle surface, cleaning and preparation, film choice, installation conditions, aftercare and the depth of the recess. We assess those factors and choose an appropriate construction for the vehicle.

3. Exact panel control of branding and joins

The artwork is planned panel by panel, so each graphic can follow the exact panel shape and shut line where the body design allows. Logos, lettering and contact details are positioned with the final module in mind, helping keep branding crisp across doors, wings and sides.

Because less shaping is left until fitting, there is less need to stretch important brand elements over difficult contours. This helps preserve their intended proportions and supports a consistent appearance across repeat vehicles. Seams remain part of the modular construction and will be agreed in the proof.

4. Knife-free fitting on the vehicle

The kit is cut before installation and designed for knife-free fitting on the vehicle. That avoids routine trimming of the new graphic against the paint during installation and makes each module easier to position in its intended area.

The vehicle still needs the right preparation and a sound, suitable surface. Existing damage, previous graphics, trims or repairs may require separate work before the modular kit can be fitted.

5. Replace the affected module

If one section is later scratched or damaged, we can use the retained design and production information to remake the affected module where practical. That can avoid rewrapping a complete vehicle side and may reduce material use, repair scope and time away from work.

The bodywork beneath the graphic must be repaired and fully ready for vinyl first. A replacement is matched as closely as practical, but ageing, weather exposure and production-batch differences mean a perfect colour match cannot be promised; in some cases, replacing an adjacent module will give the best visual result.

Modular kit or traditional wrap?

Both methods can produce professional vehicle branding. The right option depends on the vehicle, artwork, coverage and how the vehicle will be managed over time.

Who is it ideal for?

Trades and owner-operated vans

Plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, engineers and other trades get bold, professional branding in a format designed with future panel repairs in mind. Ford Transits and similar commercial vans are a core fit; other vehicles are surveyed and scanned as needed.

Small fleets and repeat branding

For businesses adding similar vehicles over time, retained artwork and module data can make the branding easier to reproduce. We check the exact model, wheelbase, roof height, doors, trim and body configuration for every vehicle rather than assuming two vans are identical.

High-value working vehicles

Where controlled fitting and avoiding cutting the new vinyl on the vehicle are priorities, a pre-cut modular approach may be a good fit. A condition inspection is still essential, and vinyl is not a substitute for paint-protection film or bodywork care.

Collision and panel repair

After a damaged body panel has been repaired, painted and allowed to cure in line with the paint supplier's guidance, the corresponding graphic module can often be reproduced. This can make reinstating fleet branding more targeted than replacing a complete side.

How DigiWrap handles your modular wrap

1. Vehicle check and survey

We confirm the registration details, exact make, model, year and body configuration, then inspect the surface and the areas to be branded. If the vehicle is not already mapped for the required kit, we arrange a scan at our Sunderland workshop.

2. 3D scan and modular design

Our in-house 3D scanner captures the relevant vehicle geometry. We translate that information into production-ready module shapes, then design your branding around the modules, joins, recesses, shut lines and viewing angles.

3. Proof and approval

You receive a visual proof showing the proposed coverage, branding and planned seams. We do not print until the artwork and scope are approved.

4. Print, finish and cut

The approved modules are printed, finished and computer-cut to the planned exact panel shapes before fitting. Material choice is based on the vehicle, intended coverage and project requirements.

5. Prepare and fit

We clean and prepare the suitable vehicle surface, then position the pre-cut modules using a knife-free fitting method on the vehicle. We carry out final checks around edges, joins and recesses before handover.

6. Retain and replace

We retain the approved artwork and module information to support repeat vehicles and future replacement requests. If damage occurs, send clear photographs and repair details; we will confirm whether one module or a neighbouring section should be reproduced for the best result.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as ExactWrap?

No. DigiWrap Modular Wraps is DigiWrap’s own exact-fit modular system, built around our in-house 3D scanning, CNC cutting and local fitting in Sunderland. People often search for “exact wrap” or “exact wraps” when they want this kind of pre-cut, panel-by-panel finish — that is the method we mean, under DigiWrap’s name and process.

Is a modular wrap the same as a full vehicle wrap?

Not exactly. A modular wrap is a method of producing the graphics as planned, pre-cut sections. It can create substantial visual coverage, but visible joins form part of the construction. A traditional full wrap uses larger pieces and may be better for certain finishes, continuous artwork or complex coverage. We will recommend the appropriate route rather than force every brief into one system.

Which vehicles can you cover?

We work extensively with trades vans and small fleets, with strong demand for Ford Transits and similar commercial vehicles. Suitability depends on the exact variant and the areas to be covered; we confirm the configuration at survey and scan when required before design and production.

Does the method guarantee that vinyl will never lift?

No. Designing modules to reduce unnecessary stretch can lower stress in recesses and help reduce lifting risk, but no responsible installer should promise zero lifting in every situation. Surface condition, cleaning, film specification, recess depth, installation and aftercare all affect performance.

Is the vinyl cut on my vehicle?

The new modular kit is computer-cut before installation and designed for knife-free fitting on the vehicle. If existing graphics, damaged paint, trim or previous repairs need attention, we will explain that separate preparation before work begins.

Can you replace just one damaged section?

Often, yes. If the damage is limited to one module and the substrate is ready for vinyl, we can reproduce that section from the retained files. We will check weathering, colour and adjacent graphics first, as replacing more than one module can occasionally give a better visual match.

How long does a modular wrap take?

There is no honest one-time-fits-all answer. Timing depends on whether a scan is needed, artwork approval, the number of modules, vehicle preparation and workshop scheduling. We will give you a project-specific plan once we have inspected the vehicle and agreed the design.
