As the demand for interior wrapping grows, many professional wrappers are discovering new opportunities to expand their services. Wrapping homes, offices, schools, and government buildings with interior wrapping films can be incredibly profitable while contributing to a more sustainable environment. The interior film market is booming, with millions of square meters of film used worldwide each year. But with great potential also comes the challenge of standing out in this competitive market. So, how do you ensure success and maximize your profits? Let’s dive into three practical tips to help you succeed.

Precise Cutting 

Mastering a wide range of different cutting techniques is one of the most important skills in interior wrapping. Knowing how to expertly cut corners, handle butt joints, section the liner with a backing paper cutter before the install as well as other advanced cutting methods can significantly improve the workflow and quality of your installations. For step-by-step tutorials, you can explore the comprehensive guides available on this TWI Playlist which will help elevate your skills and ensure flawless results every time.

Templates and Pre Cut Pieces

Use pre-cut pieces when wrapping areas like bathrooms with tiles.   Pre Cutting pieces for bathroom tiles makes the job faster and also adds an element of fun and creativity to your installations. In addition, it saves on cutting and blades since cutting on grout and tiles can make for crooked cuts and wear out blades very quickly.   In addition, prepping tiles and other surfaces beforehand reduces the installation time by over 50% and ensures consistent results.  A good example of this can be found on this bathroom install in Amsterdam - click here 

Start Panels Smoothly 

One of the biggest challenges when installing interior wrapping film is getting a clean, precise start on large panels. Using a high quality backing paper cutter can make all the difference. It helps you remove the backing paper in a controlled way.  This allows you to register the panel perfectly from the start and avoid the panel tacking too soon.  This sets the stage for a smooth and accurate flow throughout the entire installation. For the best results, the TWI Bodyguard Knife is the ultimate tool. The reason why is the quality of the Teflon-coated surface ensures it glides effortlessly, and the titanium-coated blade stays sharp longer, giving you precise cuts every time and boosting your installation speed.  Using a low quality, cheaper backing paper cutter that is painted will slow down the install dramatically and can lead to the backing paper poking through the film.  This can lead to costly replacements which eat into profits.
