WrapStudio Design

Everything Illustrator does. Everything it never will.

An Illustrator-class vector engine rebuilt for wrap production — pen tool to print-ready PDF with real CutContour separations, panelized for your roll width, priced against your inventory, and proofed to your customer. Describe a design and AI composes it as editable layers, not a flat image.

The problem

Illustrator doesn't know it's designing a wrap

Generic design tools don't know your roll width, your material cost, your printer's cut workflow, or your customer's approval. So every design round-trips through five tools.

Without Wraptor

  • A separate Illustrator seat and a template subscription per designer
  • Exports that break in the RIP — wrong cut layers, missing bleed, raster mush
  • Panelizing by hand and hoping the overlaps line up on the vehicle
  • No idea what the design costs in material until after it's sold
  • AI design tools that output flat images you can't edit or cut

With Wraptor

  • Real vector tools — pen, pathfinder, warps, compound paths — in the browser
  • Print PDFs with true CutContour spot separations your RIP auto-detects
  • One-click panelization to your media width with lap lines installers cover
  • AI that generates editable layered designs, traces logos, and builds mockups
  • CMYK production preview with out-of-gamut flags and nearest-film matching
  • Fleet data merge — a CSV becomes one print PDF per vehicle
  • Photo to scaled template — background removed, outline traced, calibrated
  • Body-line and recess overlays — preflight flags text crossing a door handle before it prints
  • Design to draft quote to proof approval without leaving the job

How it works

From setup to done.

01

Start from anything

A blank vehicle-side artboard, an imported .ai/.pdf/.svg or layered .tif template (Bad Wrap, SAi — hidden vendor layers open up), or just a straight-on photo of the customer's truck — calibrate the wheelbase and design at true scale.

02

Design with real tools

Pen, nodes, booleans and the full pathfinder, text warps, gradients, 3M and Avery film swatches, curated fonts. Or type a brief and the AI composer lays out shapes and text as editable layers.

03

Make it production-ready

Mark cut contours, auto-panelize to your roll, nest cut shapes onto a roll-width artboard, run preflight, and export the production pack — print PDF, per-panel cut files, and a preview in one ZIP.

04

Close the loop

Push the design onto the job: proof link the customer signs off on, a material line on the quote priced by the square foot, and inventory deducted when it prints.

Capabilities

Everything in the box.

  • Pro vector editing at vehicle scale

    Pen and pencil tools, node editing, boolean pathfinder with divide and crop, compound paths, clipping and opacity masks, gradients with on-canvas editing, and truck-lettering text warps — arc, wave, flag, rise.

  • Print files your RIP trusts

    Vector print PDFs with true CutContour spot separations, named spot colors, vector gradients, per-side bleed, and panel pages at panel-local resolution. Cut files export as SVG and EPS with the CutContour custom color.

  • Panelization with lap lines

    Auto-split any design to your media width with draggable seams, overlap bands, a labeled install map, and dashed lap lines printed exactly where the next panel's edge lands. Roll nesting packs cut shapes onto your media width so plot jobs waste less vinyl.

  • AI that outputs editable layers

    Describe the design and get real shapes, gradients, and text layers — not a flat image. Plus trace-to-vector, whole-design recolor, seamless pattern generation, background removal, and photorealistic vehicle mockups.

  • Wired into the money

    "Create draft quote from this design" turns the measured coverage into a priced quote line at your shop's rates, with a waste line. Material deducts from inventory rolls, and the proof goes out with a tap-to-approve link.

  • Production color mode

    Toggle a print-intent CMYK preview that flags out-of-gamut colors and suggests the nearest 3M 2080 or Avery SW900 film by deltaE — a labeled on-screen approximation, not a substitute for a printed proof. Export a CMYK print PDF when the color's right.

  • Fleet data merge

    Map a spreadsheet's columns onto named text layers — unit number, plate, phone — preview any record, then batch-export a zip with one vector print PDF per vehicle. Number and letter a whole fleet from a single design.

  • Template from a photo

    Turn a straight-on photo into a scaled template: remove the background (1 credit), trace an AI outline (2 credits, offered only after removal), calibrate one known measurement, and design on a locked reference with an editable Design layer. The trace is honest about its limits — plan to clean up glass and wheels.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I still need Illustrator or a template subscription?

For most wrap work, no. WrapStudio imports your existing .ai, .pdf, and .svg templates — plus vendor layered .tif packs (Bad Wrap, SAi) with every layer separated and hidden layers revealed — and the photo-to-template flow builds a scaled reference from a straight-on photo — calibrate one known measurement and design at true scale.

Will the print files work with my RIP?

Print PDFs use flat xref (no object streams) for older RIP compatibility, and cut lines ride a real CutContour spot separation that VersaWorks and Flexi auto-detect. Named spot colors like PerfCut come through as separations too.

What does the AI cost?

AI generations use credits from your plan. Vector editing, panelization, print and cut exports are unlimited — no per-export fees.

Can I preview and print in CMYK?

Yes. Production color mode adds a print-intent CMYK preview that flags out-of-gamut colors and matches them to the nearest 3M 2080 or Avery SW900 film by deltaE. Treat it as a labeled screen approximation — confirm critical color with a printed proof — and export a CMYK print PDF for your RIP when you're ready.

Can I personalize one design across a fleet?

Fleet data merge maps a CSV onto named text layers — unit numbers, plates, phone numbers — so one design becomes a batch. Preview any record, then export a zip with a separate vector print PDF per vehicle. It's built to number and letter a fleet from a spreadsheet, not to redraw the artwork per unit.
