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.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Ballymena
In Northern Ireland, as in Great Britain, DVLA keeps the vehicle register, so a wrap that changes your vehicle's main colour means updating the V5C and informing your insurer. Advertisement consent is not normally needed for graphics on a vehicle that is driven in the ordinary way; parking one up mainly as a billboard changes that. Windscreens need at least 75% light transmission and front side windows at least 70%, so those stay clear. Paint condition matters as well: wraps go on sound factory paint, and resprays, rust or failing lacquer can lift when the wrap is later removed.
Covering Ballymena and County Antrim
Wherever you are in County Antrim, Ballymena included, the service is identical. We arrange a survey when the sign is fixed to a building or needs power, and we work from photographs, drawings or the make and model of the vehicle when that is enough to price graphics accurately. From Belfast, Ballymena is roughly 23 miles to the north-west.
