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.
Why choose van sign-writing in County Londonderry?
- Expanding beyond Derry/Londonderry into the rest of County Londonderry? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Sole traders who win most work by word of mouth around Derry/Londonderry make referrals easier with a phone number neighbours can note down.
- Parked on a driveway in Derry/Londonderry 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 County Londonderry
Planning for van sign-writing in Northern Ireland? The council's advertisement rules generally do not apply to vehicles in normal use, though a vehicle stationed mainly as an advert can be treated as one. The points to watch are DVLA, insurance and visibility: update the V5C if the main colour changes, let your insurer know, and keep the windscreen (75% light minimum) and front side windows (70%) free of graphics. Rear one-way vision film is used on vans and cars with two exterior mirrors. For leased vehicles, check the agreement on graphics and removal.
