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.
Good reasons to look at van sign-writing in Dunoon
- Plumbers, electricians and gardeners working in Dunoon often need only a name, three services and a number, which is exactly what lettering does well.
- Pulled up at a supplier or trade counter in or around Dunoon, a clearly lettered van can bring in subcontract work from other trades.
- Dog walkers and weekend shoppers in Dunoon pass parked vans at walking pace, which is when a simple layout gets read from top to bottom.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Dunoon
For vehicle graphics in Scotland, think DVLA and insurance rather than planning. A vehicle that is normally driven is outside advertisement control, though one parked up mainly as an advertisement is not. If the main colour changes, update the colour on your V5C and tell your insurer. We keep all graphics clear of the windscreen and front side windows, which need at least 75% and 70% light transmission under the 1986 Construction and Use Regulations. Before wrapping, we check the paintwork: chips, rust, poor resprays or failing lacquer can lift when the wrap is removed later.
