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 Macclesfield
- Pulled up at a supplier or trade counter in or around Macclesfield, a clearly lettered van can bring in subcontract work from other trades.
- Parked on a driveway in Macclesfield for a day's work, a sign-written van tells the whole street who's doing the job and how to ring you.
- Many people in Macclesfield look a firm up online before calling, so a short web address on the rear doors makes that step easy.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Macclesfield
Think road rules rather than planning rules. In England a vehicle normally used for driving is outside advertisement control, although parking one somewhere chiefly as a billboard can bring it back within the council's remit. Three checks matter more. Tell DVLA, via the V5C, and your insurer if the main colour changes. Keep the windscreen at 75% light transmission or better and the front side windows at 70% or better, as the 1986 Construction and Use Regulations require. And for lease vehicles, read the agreement for what it says about graphics and removal. We plan every layout around all three.
