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.

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 Bury.

Who carries out the work on fleet livery in Bury?

The work on site is done by installers working under our contract, and anything that needs making is produced by specialist fabricators. You deal with Smart Signs throughout: we take the enquiry, survey, prepare the design and quote, check consent and coordinate the fitting, so there is one point of contact from first message to handover.

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.

When could work on fleet livery go ahead in Bury?

Fitting is typically scheduled once three things are in place: you have approved the proof, the materials are made or delivered, and any consent the job needs has been granted. For many jobs that is typically a few weeks from approval; illuminated or larger fabricated signs typically take longer, and consent decisions run to their own timetable.

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 Bury

When several of your vans park at one Bury site, matching livery makes the job look organised to the client and to passers-by.
Vehicles going back to lease companies from a Bury depot need graphics removed cleanly, so planning de-fleet removal early avoids surprises.
Where we can arrange fitting at your depot, vehicles kept in Bury can be liveried in batches between shifts instead of being driven away.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Bury

For vehicles, the paperwork is about DVLA and your insurer, not the planning department. Graphics on a van or car that is normally driven around fall outside advertisement control; only a vehicle parked mainly as an advertising hoarding is caught. A change of main colour means updating the colour on your V5C and telling your insurer. We leave the windscreen and front side windows clear, because the Construction and Use Regulations 1986 require at least 75% and 70% light through them, and we check the paint is sound factory finish before wrapping. If the vehicle is leased, confirm the lease permits graphics and how they must come off.
