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 for a business in Weymouth?
- Parked on a driveway in Weymouth 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 Weymouth into the rest of Dorset? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Many people in Weymouth look a firm up online before calling, so a short web address on the rear doors makes that step easy.
What van sign-writing costs in Weymouth
We publish guide prices so you can plan before you get in touch. For van sign-writing the range is £245–£895 per van, not including VAT, and the final price is confirmed after we survey the site or check the artwork.
| 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 Weymouth
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 Weymouth and Dorset
Jobs in Weymouth are handled the same way as jobs anywhere else in Dorset: one team, one process. If the work calls for a survey, we book a visit at a time that suits you. If photos and sizes will do, we quote from those and skip the visit altogether. The Weymouth postcode districts we quote for include DT4 and DT3. Roughly 26 miles separate Weymouth from Bournemouth, which lies to the east.
