Already offered by Ford Motor Company and MINI USA, with plans for other OEMs later this year, Original Wraps proprietary personalization technology enables OEMs to offer personalized vinyl graphic solutions to car owners and dealerships, with no up-front costs associated with adding the program.

Founded in 2006 by Skinit.com original founder, Tom Stemple, Original Wraps offers auto OEMs access to the creative development, manufacturing and distribution of high-end, vinyl graphic personalization products for any vehicle and most vehicle accessories, large or small, with no up-front costs. Printed on professional automotive grade 3M Scotchprint On-Demand vinyl and laminated for protection and fade prevention, Original Wraps products enable dealers to offer customers a way to truly personalize the look of their car, while not having the inventory, tooling and risk associated with traditional customization products. Implementing the on-demand customization services for dealers at point of sale, Original Wraps handles all manufacturing, warranties and shipping.

“In a drowning economy, auto manufacturers were looking for ways to offer customers a little something extra during the car-buying experience,” said Tom Stemple, CEO, Original Wraps. “With Original Wraps technology, OEMs are now able to offer complete on-demand vehicle personalization, without all of the up-front infrastructure costs. With partnerships in place with most of the major auto makers, we already own the marketplace and are the definitive name in custom auto graphics.”

“Ford knows that customers want a vehicle to be all their own,” said Jim Abraham, Licensed Accessory Manager, Ford Motor Company. “The fordcustomgraphics.com and fordcommercialgraphics.com Web sites complement our strong accessory portfolio and enable customers to put a personal stamp on their vehicle.
