Personalization Is King in Dubai’s Car Culture
Dubai is a city where cars are much more than just a way to get from point A to point B. They’re an expression of personality, success, and identity. While many drivers are happy to own high-end vehicles, more and more are now taking the extra step to make their cars uniquely their own through custom print wraps.
At Wrapsters, we’ve seen how custom wraps have evolved from simple color changes into full creative canvases. Whether for personal style, branding, or even temporary event promotions, custom-printed wraps allow you to turn your vehicle into something no one else on the road has. In this blog, we’ll dive into everything you need to know about custom print wraps — how they work, why they’re ideal for Dubai, and what to expect when you choose to customize your car.
What Are Custom Print Wraps?
Unlike traditional color change wraps that use pre-made colored vinyl films (such as gloss black, matte white, or satin grey), custom print wraps involve designing and printing entirely unique graphics onto wrap film. The design options are virtually limitless:
- Full graphics and illustrations
- Brand logos and marketing messages
- Patterns, textures, or camo effects
- Photographic images
- Unique color gradients and fades
- Personal artwork or monograms
Using large-format digital printers, your custom design is printed directly onto high-quality vinyl, laminated for protection, and professionally applied to your vehicle.
Why Custom Print Wraps Are Booming in Dubai
Dubai offers the perfect environment for custom vehicle wraps to thrive, for both personal and business owners alike. Here’s why:
- A City That Embraces Luxury and Creativity
In Dubai, owning luxury cars is common — standing out with something different is what truly turns heads. Custom wraps allow car owners to take even the most exotic cars and add their own fingerprint. Whether it’s a Lamborghini wrapped in marble texture, a Bentley draped in camo, or a Tesla with a full galaxy print, the possibilities are endless.
- A Business Marketing Goldmine
For businesses in Dubai, vehicle wraps serve as mobile billboards that work 24/7:
- Delivery services
- Real estate agencies
- Restaurants and catering businesses
- Tech companies
- Event organizers
When your fleet is wrapped in professionally designed graphics, your brand gets constant visibility on Dubai’s busy roads, at traffic lights, and in parking lots — generating thousands of impressions daily.
- Event and Seasonal Promotions
In Dubai’s vibrant events scene, brands often wrap vehicles temporarily for:
- Trade shows and exhibitions
- Product launches
- Sporting events and races
- Hotel grand openings
- Exclusive luxury events
Temporary wraps allow businesses to promote events with maximum visual impact, and then easily remove or replace the wrap afterward.
The Custom Wrap Process at Wrapsters
At Wrapsters, we don’t just print your design and stick it on your car. We guide you through the entire creative and technical process to ensure a flawless result.
- Consultation & Design Brief
Every project begins with a one-on-one consultation to understand:
- Your design vision
- Purpose (personal or business)
- Vehicle type and size
- Duration of wrap (temporary or long-term)
- Custom Design Creation
Our in-house design team creates multiple design drafts for your approval, incorporating your brand elements, personal tastes, or unique creative requests.
- Digital Mockups
We generate digital vehicle renderings so you can see exactly how your wrap will look on your specific car model before printing.
- High-Resolution Printing
Once approved, your design is printed on premium vinyl wrap films using industry-leading large-format printers to ensure sharp detail, vibrant colors, and long-lasting durability.
- Laminating for Protection
The printed film is laminated with a clear protective layer that guards against UV rays, scratches, and minor abrasions — critical for Dubai’s harsh climate.
- Professional Installation
Our skilled installers apply the film in a dust-free, climate-controlled bay to ensure precision, avoid bubbles, and create seamless panel transitions.
How Long Do Custom Wraps Last?
With proper care and professional installation, custom wraps typically last:
- Personal vehicles: 3-5 years
- Commercial fleets: 2-4 years (depending on usage and washing habits)
- Temporary event wraps: Weeks to months, fully removable without damage
Wrapsters uses only premium wrap materials designed to withstand Dubai’s sun, sand, and heat without fading, cracking, or peeling prematurely.
Maintenance Tips for Custom Wraps
To keep your custom wrap looking sharp:
- Hand wash only (avoid automated brush car washes)
- Use mild, pH-neutral soaps
- Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals
- Park in shaded or covered areas when possible
- Schedule occasional inspections for any edge lifting or wear
Our team provides full aftercare guidance to help clients maximize wrap longevity.
Cost of Custom Print Wraps in Dubai
The price of a custom print wrap depends on several factors:
- Vehicle size (sedan vs SUV vs van)

- Duration of wrap (permanent or temporary)
As a general reference, full custom wraps for passenger vehicles typically range from AED 7,000 to AED 20,000 depending on specifications.
