We’re answering the questions we get asked all the time—honestly and clearly.
Vehicle graphics are one of the most effective ways to turn your vehicles into strong, on brand advertisements that keep you looking professional, even on the road! Whether it’s a single van or an entire fleet, they help your brand get seen every day. But if you’ve never had a vehicle wrapped before, you probably have a few questions. So, we’re answering the ones we get asked all the time—honestly and clearly.
“Why should I choose Ast over other branding companies?”
Great question—and probably the most important one.
At Ast, we’re not just a graphics company. We’re a full-service branding company, which means everything is handled under one roof:
- In-house designers
- Production specialists
- Expert applicators
From your first idea to the final application, the same team sees your project through from start to finish.
No handoffs, guesswork or “middleman” confusion.
It also means a more efficient process with fewer moving parts—reducing waste, keeping costs down, and making the whole experience more reliable. Just a smooth, sustainable, and trusted way to get the job done.
“Do you only work with big fleets?”
Not at all. This is one of the biggest misconceptions about Ast.
Yes, we work with major national fleets—but we also work with:
- Independent tradespeople
- Small businesses
- Startups
- Even single bikes and vans
From one vehicle to 100 wagons, we’ve got it covered. And every job gets the same level of care and attention.
“Why do you use your own vinyl?”
We hear this a lot—and it’s a fair question.
Our vinyl has been designed specifically for:
- Durability in real UK conditions
- A consistent finish across large fleets
- Reliable long-term performance
- Strong adhesion with clean removal
Because we control the material, we’re able to:
- Maintain consistent quality across every project
- Offer some of the longest warranties in the industry
- Ensure every job meets the same high standard
“Is Ast affordable?”
Yes—and more importantly, we’re built to deliver value. Because we manage everything in-house (design, production, installation), we avoid unnecessary markups and delays.
That means:
- Competitive pricing
- No hidden costs between stages
- Unrivalled turnaround times
- we can design with cost in mind
It’s also worth noting that by not relying on external suppliers or third parties, we keep costs tighter and more controlled—and we pass that benefit on to our customers.
“How sustainable is vehicle wrapping with Ast?”
Sustainability is something we take seriously—and we’re always working to improve. At Ast, we align our approach with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) goals. Our targets have been independently validated, meaning our commitments are not just promises—they’re science-backed, publicly recognised, and something we are fully accountable to.
What that looks like in practice:
- Continuously monitoring and reducing our environmental impact
- Improving processes and materials wherever possible
- Keeping production in-house to minimise transport and external resource use
And here’s something many people don’t realise:
By doing everything in-house, we’re not only reducing emissions—we’re also reducing costs.
- Fewer external suppliers
- Less transportation between stages
- More efficient production processes
Better for the environment, and better for your budget. We’re always evolving, always improving, and always looking for smarter, more sustainable ways to work.
“Who actually installs the wrap?”
Another important one. You’re working with trained, approved specialists who know our systems inside out.
And because we manage projects end-to-end:
- Applicators work closely with our design and production teams
- Every job follows a proven process
- Quality is consistent, whether it’s one vehicle or hundreds
Your vehicle isn’t just another job—it’s part of a system designed to get it right the first time.
“Will my wrap actually work as marketing?”
A great wrap isn’t just about looking good—it’s about getting noticed. That’s why our in-house design team focuses on:
- Clear, readable messaging
- Strong brand visibility
- Real-world impact on the road
We don’t just design for aesthetics—we design for results.
