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 Exeter
- Dog walkers and weekend shoppers in Exeter pass parked vans at walking pace, which is when a simple layout gets read from top to bottom.
- Expanding beyond Exeter into the rest of Devon? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Your van probably spends more time on Exeter roads than any leaflet spends on a doormat, so put the money into large, clear lettering.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Exeter
Think road rules rather than planning rules. In England a vehicle normally used for driving is outside advertisement control, although parking one somewhere chiefly as a billboard can bring it back within the council's remit. Three checks matter more. Tell DVLA, via the V5C, and your insurer if the main colour changes. Keep the windscreen at 75% light transmission or better and the front side windows at 70% or better, as the 1986 Construction and Use Regulations require. And for lease vehicles, read the agreement for what it says about graphics and removal. We plan every layout around all three.
Covering Exeter and Devon
From the middle of Exeter to the edges of Devon, the same survey, proof and fit process applies. If the job calls for someone on site, a visit is booked; if not, we price from photos, measurements and your artwork, then confirm the details once the artwork is checked. In postcode terms, Exeter jobs typically fall in EX4, EX2 and EX1. Roughly 36 miles separate Exeter from Plymouth, which lies to the south-west.
