Bao Tran, owner of Magnum Wrapping in Plymouth, considers himself lucky to be busy every day at a job he truly loves. 

“I love the variety of everything we work on, and a lot of customers have told me they are happily surprised at everything we can do,” Tran says. “It has helped me build my business to the point where we are busy all the time. I’m not complaining. That’s a really nice problem to have. I’m also a wrap installer, graphic designer, and I also do business branding.” 

Tran says he looks forward to going to work every day. 

“I’m the founder of Magnum Wrapping, and Toni Ann Erickson is the cofounder,” Tran says. “I think the business has built up because we also really listen to what our customers want. It’s been that way since we started. We go the extra mile to find out exactly what our customers need, and we offer the highest quality.” 

Tran says Magnum Wrapping began as a completely different business. “Our company started as a travel installer,” he says. “We were subcontracting for various companies throughout the U.S.A. and Canada.”

Magnum Wrapping then expanded through positive word of mouth.

“We have done thousands of projects from small commercial projects to big fleet jobs for companies like Amazon, UPS and FedEx,” Tran says. “We have done a lot of work for helicopters and planes as well.” 

Tran did a lot of traveling to grow the company.

“We eventually wanted to build a company closer to home, and to offer a high-quality digital wrap shop in the region,” Tran says. “We really have been able to expand by having such a special niche. We succeeded in offering something a lot of different companies were looking for. It became something where the sky really was the limit in terms of where we could go.” 

He set up shop in Plymouth, where he has been very happy. 

“This is an absolutely great place to be,” Tran says. “The people are so nice and friendly. There are a lot of wonderful people in this community.” 

Magnum Wrapping does many types of wrapping jobs for a variety of companies. “Our business is mainly catered towards commercial businesses who want to expose their business to more people so they can get more customers,” Tran says. “We wrap with nice trailer graphics, food trucks, commercial vehicles, boats, helicopters and planes. It’s been a lot of fun to work on all of these different things. It also enables us to just keep expanding our customer base. We have a solid reputation for great work that is also really fast.” 

Magnum Wrapping also has a lot of products for customers to choose from. “We offer banners, billboards, wall graphics, window graphics, vehicle wraps and fleet graphics,” Tran says. “We have told customers that vehicle wraps give you 30,000 to 70,000 ad impressions, which is the number of people who will potentially see your particular ad per day. You just can’t beat that. That’s great.” 

Tran says 80% of consumers can recall relevant details about a particular vehicle wrap after seeing it once.

“It really sticks in a person’s mind,” Tran says. “It’s perfect. It’s amazing how vehicle wraps just greatly increase brand recognition more than other modes of different advertising.” 

Tran believes the company has prospered because of its uniqueness in the area. 

“We have been successful because we are the only Master Certified wrap company in the region,” Tran says. “That has helped us get quite a lot of businesses from so many companies in the region who have a real need for the quality work that we do. Our standards are high on every job that comes into the shop. We do a great job of printing too. We have outstanding, top-of-the-line printing equipment that allows us to produce graphics for high-volume jobs.”

Tran says the printing equipment has made a huge difference in the company’s high quality.

“Our HP Latex wide format lets us provide not only high premium quality, it also provides extremely durable prints,” he says. “We also really have an unmatched and outstanding efficiency to provide graphics that are on time, to install or ship on the same day. You just can’t beat that either.” 

Tran adds that their high number of loyal customers has made a huge difference in the amount of growth they have been able to enjoy.

“We have had customers like Justin Time Plumbing & Heating, McGrath Air Conditioning, the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department and Culver’s Portside Marina who have recommended us highly to other people,” Tran says. “The word has spread that we will do an outstanding job.” 

Other satisfied customers include A-Z Detailing and ALL Temp Heating & Cooling. 

Tran notes that Magnum Wrapping also has its own line of apparel and gear.

“We have Magnum short-sleeve T-shirts, premium Magnum hoodies, sport bottles, cozy beanies, pet tank tops, long-sleeve T-shirts and coffee mugs,” he says. “People have really enjoyed them.”
