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.
Why choose van sign-writing for a business in Kilmarnock?
- Sole traders who win most work by word of mouth around Kilmarnock make referrals easier with a phone number neighbours can note down.
- Expanding beyond Kilmarnock into the rest of Ayrshire? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Pulled up at a supplier or trade counter in or around Kilmarnock, a clearly lettered van can bring in subcontract work from other trades.
What van sign-writing costs in Kilmarnock
How much? Expect a guide range of £245–£895 per van, VAT excluded. The rows below show what moves a job up or down that range, and the figure becomes firm once the survey or artwork check is done.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic lettering (sides and rear) | £245 – £450 | £294 – £540 |
| Lettering with printed logo panels | £395 – £895 | £474 – £1,074 |
What moves the price: the size of the van, how many words and lines you want, the number of vinyl colours, printed logo panels, reflective or metallic film, and whether old lettering has to come off first. Every figure is a guide excluding VAT, confirmed once we've seen your wording and photos of the van.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Kilmarnock
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.
Covering Kilmarnock and Ayrshire
We cover Kilmarnock and every other part of Ayrshire as part of a UK-wide service. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a visit to measure and photograph the site; for many graphics and vehicle jobs, clear photos and measurements are enough to quote from. Postcode districts around Kilmarnock include KA1, KA3 and KA2.
