Fleet livery in Irvine

Your enquiry about fleet livery in Irvine goes to one team that handles everything: measuring, artwork, the consent check, the proof, the price and the arrangements for making and fitting. We work right across the UK rather than from a single patch, which is why the process described on this page is the same in Irvine as it is throughout Ayrshire.

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.

Fleet livery in Irvine: the practical benefits

  • Vehicles going back to lease companies from an Irvine depot need graphics removed cleanly, so planning de-fleet removal early avoids surprises.
  • Mixed fleets in Irvine, with managers' cars, engineers' vans and a tipper for the yard, can share one look adapted to each vehicle.
  • Facilities, cleaning and maintenance firms with contracts in and around Irvine benefit from vehicles that look like one team, whoever is driving.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Irvine

Scotland follows the same approach to vehicle graphics as the rest of the UK. Livery on a van, car or lorry in everyday use is not treated as an advertisement needing consent; the council's interest starts only if a vehicle is parked up chiefly as a sign. What matters instead is the paperwork and the glass. DVLA should be told of any change of main colour through the V5C, and so should your insurer. Light transmission rules set a minimum of 75% for the windscreen and 70% for the front side windows, so our layouts never touch them. Lease or contract hire? Read the terms on graphics and removal first.

Covering Irvine and Ayrshire

We cover Irvine and every other part of Ayrshire as part of a UK-wide service.

The Irvine postcode districts we quote for include KA12 and KA11. From Kilmarnock, Irvine is roughly 6.2 miles to the west.

Fleet livery in Irvine: 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.

Why is there a price range for fleet livery rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £225 to £1,650 per vehicle + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Irvine.

How many vehicles make a fleet?

Any number from two upwards. The benefit of fleet livery is consistency and good records rather than size, so a firm with three vans gains as much from a master template as one with fifty. The one-off template set-up is spread across every vehicle you add, both now and in the years ahead.

Could the consent process affect the timing of my job in Irvine?

It can. Not every job needs an application, but where express consent is required the council's decision typically takes several weeks, and fitting typically waits until it is granted. We check this at the start, so the timetable you receive with your quote allows for consent where it applies, along with the proof approval stage.

What do you need from me to quote for fleet livery in Irvine?

Photos are the most useful start: the whole frontage, window or vehicle, plus a close-up of the area involved. Add rough measurements, your logo or artwork if you have it, and the address. From that we can say whether a survey visit is needed and send a written quote, followed by a proof for you to approve.

Should Chapter 8 chevrons be part of the livery?

If your vehicles stop or work on the highway and your contracts ask for them, yes. It's better to design the rear doors with the chevron area set aside than to add chevrons later over the branding. The livery then keeps the name and phone number clear of the markings, and the rear still carries your brand.
