UGIS: Universal Graphics Installation System

UGIS stands for Universal Graphics Installation System. This system was developed over 15 years from compiling everything that Justin Pate learned from working both in the U.S. and in Europe. Essentially, UGIS is the common denominator for what an installer must do in order to apply professional level graphics.

UGIS (Universal Graphics Installation System) is made up of three specific modules

The Method binds the Basics to create the foundation for the installation process. The 5 Good Habits ensure overall quality and durability which are essential for professional level car wraps.

• UGIS is a seamless installation platform that works on any vehicle and with all types of films.
• When installers use UGIS, they speak a common language, which makes communication and problem solving much easier.
• Having an easy-to-learn system like UGIS makes learning the art of graphic installations instantly accessible. This gives beginner and intermediate installers confidence and significantly speeds up the learning process.

Quality and durability must always come first when installing graphics on vehicles. For most installers, this means a sacrifice in time. This is where UGIS really becomes a factor. UGIS streamlines the entire installation process by its combination of techniques and vision. This significantly reduces mistakes and creates flow which are the fundamental aspects of efficiency.

Installers who utilize UGIS can lower their installations times between 1 to 4 hours per vehicle depending on their skill level. Lower install times mean higher profits and greater flexibility in terms of schedule and volume.

Higher profits come from

1. Saving on material that had to be reprinted or replaced due to mistakes
2. Professional level quality and durability which keeps clients and attracts new ones
3. Opening the door to volume

Out of those three points, it is volume and efficiency that makes UGIS unique. Achieving volume with an efficient platform is the key to high profits for any business.

“When I got into wrapping vehicles in 1996, I realized that as cool and unique as it is to wrap a car, first and foremost, wrapping is a business. For me to maximize this new and rapidly expanding industry, I needed to approach the installation process with the main focus on optimal efficiency while maintaining the highest quality and minimizing waste/mistakes. By structuring my technique into a system – UGIS, my installation times were significantly lowered on all types of vehicles. UGIS gave me the ability to take on volume which dramatically increased my profits. Essentially, UGIS allowed me to go from wrapping 70 vehicles a year to 300. This is key. Wrapping vehicles is very satisfying and fun but, in the end, its about money and time, or, in the case of UGIS, time and then money.”

“ Upon completing a 2-day private workshop with Justin I lowered my install time 2-3 hours for a full vehicle wrap. Not only did I benefit with saving time per wrap but my quality and durability went up dramatically. UGIS reduced re-dos and it has turned my customers into long term prospects because I’m wrapping at such a high level. Add up the numbers and discover the value of the investment in Justin’s workshops! Taking the time to learn Justin Pate’s UGIS is an invaluable investment for any company seriously contemplating the vehicle wrap industry.”

“I learned more in 3 days attending MUTOH’s School of Wrap with Justin as the instructor then I have in the last year and half, trying to figure things out on my own. I’ve already put UGIS into practice and it’s amazing how much easier and faster installations go. We wrapped a bass boat in 7 hours after taking the class. With my way of wrapping before the class, it would have taken at least 15 hrs. Unreal. Thank you.”

“The highest compliment that we can give to Justin Pate is his vast and
comprehensive knowledge of vehicle graphic installations. Justin’s UGIS that was presented during his advanced training course was essential for our employees in their growth as topnotch installers! Overall, his course and DVDs were an excellent resource in helping us increase the profitability of our business.”
