Our bus, your brand

One side of a coach is a good forty square metres, and it drives to the places your people are going anyway. We wrap it in our own hall — and take the film off again afterwards without leaving anything on the paint.

Why a bus works as advertising space

The area is bigger than any billboard you drive past — and it does not stand at the roadside but outside the hotel, at the fair entrance and in the event car park. Exactly where the people it is meant for are standing.

The difference from rented advertising space: the bus is there anyway, because it is carrying your guests. The advertising effect is a by-product of logistics you are paying for regardless.

On top of that it reaches places no poster may stand — works sites, restricted areas, inner courtyards. Anyone moving a squad, a delegation or a crew moves the design along with them.

We do the wrapping ourselves

Our own hall, our own people. That is why we can talk about a date rather than a waiting list.

The options, from small to large

Not every campaign needs a whole vehicle. What is worth it depends on the run time and the area.

  • Magnetic panelsTwo panels on the flanks, on and off again in minutes. For single days of use, after which the vehicle goes back to running plain.
  • Rear window filmPerforated film on the rear window: a solid design from outside, see-through from inside. The surface that gets read longest in a traffic jam.
  • Side bandA continuous band along the flank, usually below the window line. Carries the lettering and logo and leaves the paint visible.
  • Partial wrapWhole surfaces on their own — the rear, the front or a third of the vehicle. The way to go when the design has to work but the budget will not cover everything.
  • Full wrapThe entire vehicle, pulled over edges and flaps, with windows and lights cut out. Afterwards nobody can tell what colour is underneath.
  • InteriorHeadrest covers, side panels, a loop on the monitors. It does not work outwards, but on the people sitting inside for two hours.

How bus branding is done

Wrapping a team bus for the 2026 Women’s Basketball World Cup — from the first panel to the rear window.

  • Coach in the wrapping hall at BerlinBus.DE
  • A large panel of vinyl being offered up to the side of the vehicle
  • Lettering being aligned as vinyl on the side of the vehicle
  • Vinyl being drawn over the wheel arch of a coach
  • The rear of a coach being wrapped from ladders
  • Lettered rear window of a coach seen from inside

What separates the options

Lead time and price depend on the artwork and on how busy the hall is — both go in the quote, not in a table.

What a proposal looks like

A dimensioned drawing of the vehicle with the artwork on it, two variants one above the other: once on the panel between windows and flaps, once across the luggage bay doors. Same brand, two very different effects.

What has already been on the road

Not every job is a full wrap, and not every client is a tournament. A few vehicles from the past years.

  • Double-decker with event branding in the hall
  • Guests boarding a fully wrapped bus
  • Fully wrapped bus in the BerlinBus.DE hall
  • Side of a fully wrapped bus with a large logo
  • Team bus with a national flag and the team hashtag

From artwork to departure

  1. 01

    Set the area

    We send the dimensioned drawing of the vehicle. On it your designers can see where flaps, seams and lights sit — the places where a design otherwise gets cut apart.

  2. 02

    Look at a proof

    A full-size sample before the main print run. Solid colours look different on film than on screen, and you only notice that on the vehicle.

  3. 03

    A slot in the hall

    We apply it here, usually overnight, so the vehicle can stay in service during the day.

  4. 04

    Handover and removal

    One walk around the vehicle together. And when the campaign is over the film comes off again — the paint underneath keeps none of it.

Around the edge as well

Roof edge, window frame, the gap at a flap. Where a film ends is where you see how carefully it was done.

Common questions

Does the film come off again without damaging the paint?

Yes. We work with film that can be pulled off again once warmed; on factory-painted surfaces nothing is left behind. On resprayed areas we check first — there it depends on the quality of the paint, not on the film.

Does the vehicle have to come out of service for it?

For a full wrap yes, for several days. The smaller options we do overnight. Tell us the window in which the vehicle can be spared and we will plan into it.

Can you wrap a vehicle that belongs to us?

Yes. The hall and the people are the same whether the bus is parked in our yard or yours. Bring it over and we will arrange a date.

Who creates the artwork?

You or your agency. We supply the dimensioned drawing and say what works on the surface — lettering below the window line, for instance, is barely readable from the car alongside. If you have nobody for it, we can put you in touch.
