Watch the Cat 265 Wrap Install
Wrapping heavy equipment used to mean hours of trimming vinyl, guessing where panels should land, and worrying about cutting directly on the machine. That process wastes time and makes installs harder than they need to be.
At Deviant Ink, we solved that problem with pre-cut wrap kits built specifically for each machine model. In the video above, we show a Cat 265 skid steer getting wrapped and explain how our system makes installs faster, cleaner, and easier.
Our wraps are designed so contractors, equipment owners, and fleets can turn their machines into moving billboards without the headaches of traditional wrap installs.
Why Pre Cut Wrap Kits Change the Installation Process
Traditional wrap installs require a lot of manual trimming. Installers often lay oversized vinyl over panels and cut the edges while the material is on the machine. That takes time and introduces risk.
Our wrap kits are different.
Each kit is digitally templated to the exact machine model, so every panel is already cut before it ships.
This approach offers several advantages:
-
No cutting on the machine
-
Faster installation
-
Cleaner panel alignment
-
Reduced install mistakes
-
Better coverage compared to small decals
Instead of trying to shape vinyl during the install, you simply line up each panel and apply it.
That makes the process far more predictable and much easier for contractors who want to install the wrap themselves.
Built Specifically for the Cat 265
The Cat 265 is one of the newer machines in Caterpillar’s compact track loader lineup, and it is becoming more common on job sites.
Because of that demand, we built a dedicated template for the Cat 265 so owners can design wraps specifically for that machine.
If you run this model, you can create a wrap directly in our online customizer:

Designed for Real Jobsite Use
Construction equipment works in tough conditions. Machines see dirt, rocks, mud, pressure washing, and constant wear.
Because of that, Deviant Ink wraps are built with thick, durable materials designed for heavy equipment.
Our wrap kits provide:
-
Paint protection
-
High visibility branding
-
Long lasting durability
-
Easy replacement panels if damage occurs
For many contractors, the wrap becomes a mobile advertisement that works every time the machine is on a job site.
Why Contractors Are Wrapping Their Machines
More contractors are realizing that their equipment can do more than just perform work. It can also promote their business.
A wrapped skid steer can:
-
Display your company logo
-
Add your phone number or website
-
Make your brand recognizable on job sites
-
Help your company look more professional
Instead of blank yellow paint, your machine becomes something people notice.
That kind of visibility is especially valuable for excavation companies, concrete crews, landscapers, and contractors working in residential areas.
How Long Does a Wrap Install Take?
Because the panels are pre cut for the machine, installation is much faster than traditional wrap installs.
Most skid steer wraps can be installed in a few hours depending on the installer’s experience and the amount of coverage.
There is no need to measure panels or trim large sections of vinyl during the install. Everything is already prepared to match the machine’s body lines.
This is one of the biggest reasons contractors choose pre cut kits instead of traditional wraps.

Final Thoughts
The Cat 265 wrap shown in the video is a great example of how simple the process can be when the wrap kit is designed correctly.
Pre-cut panels remove the hardest part of installing a wrap. Instead of spending hours trimming vinyl, you can focus on placing each panel cleanly and getting the machine back to work.
For contractors who want branding, paint protection, and a machine that stands out, a wrap is one of the most effective upgrades you can make.
