3M Collaborates with Wrapmate to Provide Print-Ready Customers to Graphic Professionals

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Business owners today are faced with a wide variety of challenges to stand out from the competition, including the growing emphasis on creating a recognizable and impactful visual identity. To support customers in achieving their vision, graphic professionals spend precious time creating vehicle wrap design mockups to help determine the look and feel that will best tell the brand story. This can be a time-consuming process that also runs the risk of creating design mockups that don't always come to fruition.

3M is excited to announce a strategic collaboration with Wrapmate to help businesses improve their brand's visibility through high quality vehicle graphics and ultimately help graphic professionals find more customers.

Wrapmate is an online platform where business owners can visualize their brand on a vehicle by simply using their business's website address. Wrapmate uses the URL to scan the website for branded visuals such as logos and imagery and within seconds, a vehicle wrap design is created. This service helps business owners understand what a vehicle wrap would look like in a 3D environment and builds excitement by offering tools for the user to better understand the impact that vehicle graphics have on the awareness of their business.

"Our innovative technology combined with 3M's innovative film products allow for a great dynamic between our two businesses," said Chris Loar, Founder & CEO of Wrapmate. "3M is the perfect fit for a strategic collaboration. We couldn't be more excited about working together to grow the graphics industry."

Business owners can also take the next step of bringing the visual to life by working with Wrapmate, who will interface directly with experienced graphic professionals within the 3M network to complete the job. 3Mtm Certified Graphics Installation Companies and 3Mtm Preferred Graphics Installers within the Wrapmate Pro network can execute these print-ready jobs and get the opportunity to work with new customers to further build their brands.

"The collaboration between 3M and Wrapmate opens the door to new business opportunities for graphic professionals and saves them time so they can focus on creating impactful transformations," said Troy Kilfoyl of 3M Commercial Solutions Division. "By joining forces with Wrapmate, we are hoping to provide a creative solution to make the vehicle wrap design process easier for graphic professionals and more engaging for businesses everywhere."

Graphic manufacturers can now spend more time focusing on doing great work and less time worrying about customer acquisition.
