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.
Good reasons to look at van sign-writing in Newtownards
- Parked on a driveway in Newtownards for a day's work, a sign-written van tells the whole street who's doing the job and how to ring you.
- Expanding beyond Newtownards into the rest of County Down? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Dog walkers and weekend shoppers in Newtownards pass parked vans at walking pace, which is when a simple layout gets read from top to bottom.
What van sign-writing costs in Newtownards
Pricing for van sign-writing is worked out job by job, but the guide range is £245 to £895 per van + VAT. The table lists typical options. Your figure is confirmed only after a site survey or a check of the artwork you send.
| 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 Newtownards
Does a wrapped or lettered vehicle count as an advertisement under Northern Ireland's planning rules? Not while it is used as a vehicle. Councils can treat a vehicle parked mainly to display an advert as a sign, but day-to-day livery is outside control. Registration in Northern Ireland sits with DVLA, as it does in Great Britain, so a change of main colour goes on the V5C and your insurer needs telling. The law sets minimums for the front glass: at least 75% of light through the windscreen and 70% through the front side windows, which is why our designs leave them untouched. Leased vehicles may carry conditions on graphics and their removal.
