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.
Points in favour of van sign-writing in Redruth
- Many people in Redruth look a firm up online before calling, so a short web address on the rear doors makes that step easy.
- Dog walkers and weekend shoppers in Redruth pass parked vans at walking pace, which is when a simple layout gets read from top to bottom.
- Plumbers, electricians and gardeners working in Redruth often need only a name, three services and a number, which is exactly what lettering does well.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Redruth
Advertisement consent does not usually come into vehicle graphics. Advertisements on a vehicle normally used as a moving vehicle are outside advertisement control in England, although a vehicle parked up mainly to act as a billboard is treated differently. The rules that matter are road and registration ones. If a wrap changes the main colour, update the V5C log book with DVLA and tell your insurer. The windscreen must let through at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70% under the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, so we keep graphics off them. Leased vehicles: check the lease allows graphics.
