Ever seen a wrapped truck around town that's peeling, cracking or faded after a year or two? 🚚☀️
It's almost always the vinyl underneath, not the design.
🔵 Cast vinyl: poured as a liquid, then baked. It hugs curves like paint and holds its shape in Florida heat. Lasts 5–7 years here.
🔴 Calendared vinyl: rolled and stretched flat, so stress stays in the film. It shrinks, edges lift, and it lasts 1–3 years.
On day one they look the same. In year two, you'll see the difference.
Comparing wrap quotes? Ask one question: "Is this cast or calendared?" 👀
Every wrap we install at Sarasota Sign Shop is cast vinyl, printed and installed in-house.
