What is a Casewrap?
A Casewrap is a high resolution graphical vinyl that is applied (or wrapped) to a variety of items, ranging from computer cases, to game systems and mp3 players. These wraps have properties that create an easy install, removal and provide a timeless professional new look. Wraps range as simple as a panel sheet one can apply to a vast range of items, to complex precut designs to accommodate shapes such as buttons, vents, keys, in today’s peripherals. Used to personalize individuals’ items or as part of a full roll out business branding solution, wraps can be designed to find a solution to previously unavailable, expensive or timely avenues.
