ExactWrap vs Signs DIY
ExactWrap vs Signs DIY, An Honest Look
Both post you panels to brand your van yourself. Here is a fair comparison of coverage and fitting options, so you can pick the right one for your van.
The short answer
Both ship DIY panels, we also do more and can fit it
If you want more than signs, or the choice of a fitted finish, that is where we differ.
Signs DIY is a UK supplier, based in Hertfordshire, that sells DIY magnetic and vinyl van signs shipped to you to fit yourself, with a free design service. It is a tidy, simple option if all you want is self fit signage. Everything we say about them here comes from their own website, and we are only naming them so you can compare fairly.
ExactWrap ships DIY panels too, cut to your exact van, but we are not limited to signs. You can take a partial wrap or a full wrap, and you can choose to fit it yourself or have us fit it for you. One supplier, more coverage, and the finish you want.

Questions
ExactWrap vs Signs DIY, answered
What is the difference between ExactWrap and Signs DIY
Both let you brand a van yourself with panels posted to your door. Signs DIY focuses on DIY magnetic and vinyl van signs that you fit yourself. ExactWrap ships DIY panels too, but also does full wraps and partial wraps, and gives you the option to have it fitted by us instead. So it comes down to how much coverage you want and whether you want the choice of a fitted finish.
Who is Signs DIY
Signs DIY is a UK supplier, based in Hertfordshire, that sells magnetic and vinyl van signs shipped to you for self fitting, with a free design service. They are a DIY only sign specialist. We are naming them only to help you compare, and everything here reflects what their own website states.
Can ExactWrap fit it for me instead
Yes. That is a key difference. With ExactWrap you can take a DIY kit and apply it yourself, or have us fit it in the workshop for a flawless finish. You are not locked into doing it yourself.
Do you do full wraps or just signs
Both. As well as signage you can have a partial wrap or a full wrap, so you can go from simple lettering all the way to turning the whole van into a moving advert, and still fit it yourself if you want to.
What are ExactWrap panels made from
We print on Metamark high performance MD5A vinyl, a 7 year polymeric film, and cut the panels to your exact van. Because it is modular, a single panel can be reprinted and swapped without redoing the whole van.
