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

Rules for vehicle graphics in Llanelli
Planning rarely comes into vans and cars in Wales, because advertisements on vehicles normally used for travelling are outside advertisement control; a vehicle parked up as a static billboard is the exception. The checks that matter are practical. Tell DVLA, using the V5C, and your insurer if the main colour changes. Keep the windscreen and front side windows clear so they meet the 75% and 70% light minimums in the Construction and Use Regulations 1986. And make sure the paint is sound factory finish, since resprays, rust or failing lacquer can lift when a wrap is later removed.
