Abstract

A method for determining the dimensions and configuration of a vehicle wrap surface. The customer selects a vehicle to be the subject of a vehicle wrap cost quotation from a vehicle wrap provider. A photograph of the subject vehicle's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is transmitted to the vehicle wrap provider that is remote from the vehicle. Optical character recognition (OCR) is performed on the photograph to convert the VIN directly to an electronic form. A VIN database is queried with the converted VIN to obtain the vehicle year, vehicle make and vehicle model. The dimensions and configuration of the vehicle wrap surface are derived from the obtained vehicle year, vehicle make and vehicle model. The provider determines the costs for printing a vehicle wrap forwards a cost quotation to the customer.
