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.
Where van sign-writing can pay off in Stevenston
- Plumbers, electricians and gardeners working in Stevenston often need only a name, three services and a number, which is exactly what lettering does well.
- Dog walkers and weekend shoppers in Stevenston pass parked vans at walking pace, which is when a simple layout gets read from top to bottom.
- Parked on a driveway in Stevenston for a day's work, a sign-written van tells the whole street who's doing the job and how to ring you.
What van sign-writing costs in Stevenston
Below is the guide pricing we use for van sign-writing: from £245 up to £895 per van, before VAT. These are not fixed quotes. A written price follows once measurements are taken and your artwork has been checked.

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 Stevenston
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.
