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.
Reasons to choose van sign-writing in Durham
- Plumbers, electricians and gardeners working in Durham often need only a name, three services and a number, which is exactly what lettering does well.
- Expanding beyond Durham into the rest of County Durham? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Parked on a driveway in Durham for a day's work, a sign-written van tells the whole street who's doing the job and how to ring you.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Durham
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.
