Van sign-writing is lettering, a logo and contact details cut from coloured vinyl and applied straight onto a van's paint, usually on the sides and rear doors, without covering whole panels in printed film.
The case for van sign-writing in Forfar
- Expanding beyond Forfar into the rest of Angus and Dundee? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Many people in Forfar look a firm up online before calling, so a short web address on the rear doors makes that step easy.
- Sole traders who win most work by word of mouth around Forfar make referrals easier with a phone number neighbours can note down.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Forfar
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.
