Fleet livery is a consistent set of vehicle graphics, produced from master templates for each vehicle model, so every van, car, truck or trailer a business runs carries the same branding in the same position.

What fleet livery can do for businesses in Oban

  • Where we can arrange fitting at your depot, vehicles kept in Oban can be liveried in batches between shifts instead of being driven away.
  • Adding a new van to an Oban operation is simpler when the master template already exists, because it's printed and fitted to match the rest.
  • For contractors on housing, council or utility jobs in Oban, consistent livery helps residents recognise who is genuinely meant to be on site.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Oban

Three practical rules shape vehicle graphics in Scotland. One: change the main colour and the V5C needs updating with DVLA, with your insurer told too. Two: the windscreen must pass at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70%, so graphics are kept off them; rear-window one-way vision is used on vans and cars with two exterior mirrors. Three: on a leased vehicle, check the lease allows graphics and how they must be removed. Advertisement consent does not usually come into it, because vehicles normally used as moving vehicles are outside advertisement control, unlike one parked as a billboard.

Fleet livery in Oban: questions

Do trucks and trailers need different materials?

Often, yes. Box bodies and flat-sided trailers take printed vinyl much like vans, though rivets and corrugated panels need extra care. Curtain-sided trailers usually need graphics printed onto the curtain itself or a flexible film, because the curtain moves and folds. Send photos and we'll suggest an approach for each body type.

Does the price of fleet livery in Oban include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £225–£1,650 per vehicle excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

Can cars and vans in one fleet carry different levels of graphics?

Yes, and it's common. Pool cars might carry a logo and web address on the doors, vans a part wrap with services and phone number, and trucks larger side graphics. The colours, typefaces and logo placement stay consistent, so every vehicle still reads as the same business.

Can you work to an opening date in Oban?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.

How do you keep colours consistent across the fleet?

By fixing the film and print references at the start and recording them. Solid-colour vinyl is chosen from a fixed range, and printed colours are matched to your references and proofed on the actual film. Small variations between print batches can occur, so replacement panels are checked against the graphics already fitted.

Can you handle fleet livery for a business in Oban?

Yes. Smart Signs covers Oban and the rest of Argyll and Bute as part of a UK-wide service. You send photos and rough sizes, we arrange a survey if the job needs one, then you receive a proof to scale and a fixed written price. Nothing is made or fitted until you have approved both.
