When a national tree service company needed two new RAV4s wrapped and on the road, they found AZ Rag through the United Application Standards Group (UASG) certified installer directory. The job: consistent fleet branding across both vehicles, green lower body graphics against factory white, with full contact and brand information on every panel that matters.
The Job
All three RAV4s came in on the same run — same design, same material, same install standard. Fleet consistency is not optional for a national brand. One vehicle that looks slightly different from the others undermines the whole point of branded vehicles. Every panel had to match across both trucks: the green lower body coverage, the logo placement on the doors, the phone number and website on the rear.
The design uses the white factory paint as the upper body, with the green wrap covering the lower doors, rear quarter panels, and full tailgate. That split keeps the vehicles looking clean and professional without the cost of a full wrap — and on a white vehicle with a green brand color, it is the right call visually. Similar logic drove the Brothers Gutters Honda Civic wrap, where factory white became part of the brand look rather than something to cover.
Materials and Why They Matter on a Fleet Job
Both vehicles were wrapped with 3M IJ175cv3 cast film and laminated with 3M 8518 overlaminate. Cast film is the correct choice for commercial vehicles that live outdoors and rack up miles. It conforms to compound curves cleanly, holds color without fading, and the 8518 laminate adds a layer of surface protection against road debris, UV, and weathering.
On a fleet job, material quality is not a place to cut corners. These vehicles represent the brand every mile they drive. A wrap that starts lifting or fading at the edges after one season reflects directly on the company whose name is on the door.
How the UASG Referral Works
This job came through a UASG referral — a direct result of AZ Rag’s standing as a 3M Preferred Installer. The UASG directory is how national brands and fleet managers find certified installers in a given market. When a company with locations across the country needs consistent work done locally, they go to the directory and call a certified shop. That certification is not a badge; it is a qualifier that gets AZ Rag in the door for jobs that would never come through standard advertising.

Why AZ Rag
Fleet jobs require consistency, speed, and material knowledge. AZ Rag handles print and installation in-house as a 3M Certified Installation Company, which means no handoff between a print vendor and a separate installer. Both RAV4s were produced and wrapped to the same standard, on the same timeline, without the coordination problems that come from splitting the job across multiple shops.
