Compared with $800 per year for the wrap, spread over 5 years. Media comparisons use fixed CPM rates; actual costs vary by market and campaign.

How we calculate

The estimate uses a calculation rate of 600 impressions per mile, 365 days per year and your selected years in use. Impressions include repeat exposures and do not represent unique viewers. Years in use is your planning period, not a film-life warranty.

Impressions = daily miles × 600 × 365 × years. Wrap cost per 1,000 impressions = wrap cost ÷ total impressions × 1,000.

Annual media cost = estimated annual impressions ÷ 1,000 × the comparison CPM. The ratio compares that cost with wrap cost ÷ years, using unrounded values.

CPM means cost per 1,000 impressions. The fixed comparison rates are used for this calculation and are not a quote for a specific campaign. Equal impression counts do not imply equal audiences or outcomes.
