One colour system,
every surface.
When the truck wrap, the trailer, and the site sign all have slightly different shades of blue, it looks like an accident. A livery system defines the colours, finishes, and application rules once, so everything produced from that point matches.
Everything you need, none of the upsell.
Real deliverables, with the boundaries written down. So you know what you're paying for and what counts as extra.
Vinyl, paint, and print values.
Brand colours translated to the values used in each medium: vinyl film codes, paint colour codes, CMYK for print, and hex for digital. No guessing.
Gloss, matte, or satin.
Finish choice documented by surface type. Vehicle wraps may be matte where signage is gloss. Consistent application rules for each.
Where each colour goes.
Body zones defined: cab, cargo, lower panel, upper panel, and accent. Colours and finishes assigned by zone so any designer can apply the system.
Reference for vendors.
A one to two page livery standards document handed to wrap shops, sign fabricators, and painters. So they all work from the same spec.

Common questions.
What is a livery system, as opposed to a wrap design?
A wrap design is artwork for one vehicle. A livery system is the set of rules and templates that keeps every vehicle consistent as the fleet changes: placement, proportion, which elements appear on which vehicle class, and what happens on a model nobody has bought yet.
Why not just reuse the same artwork?
Because vehicles are different shapes. Artwork built for a Transit does not map onto a pickup or a trailer without decisions being made, and if those decisions are made ad hoc by whoever is installing that day, the fleet drifts within a year.
Does this only make sense for large fleets?
It pays from about five vehicles, and earlier if the fleet is mixed. The value is in not re-deciding, so a business adding two vehicles a year benefits more than a business that bought ten at once and will not change them.
Who holds the templates?
You do. Files and the specification are handed over, so any competent installer can execute the system without coming back to us. Being locked into one supplier for something this operational is not in your interest.
