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 Brighton
- Parked on a driveway in Brighton for a day's work, a sign-written van tells the whole street who's doing the job and how to ring you.
- Plumbers, electricians and gardeners working in Brighton often need only a name, three services and a number, which is exactly what lettering does well.
- Pulled up at a supplier or trade counter in or around Brighton, a clearly lettered van can bring in subcontract work from other trades.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Brighton
For vehicles, the paperwork is about DVLA and your insurer, not the planning department. Graphics on a van or car that is normally driven around fall outside advertisement control; only a vehicle parked mainly as an advertising hoarding is caught. A change of main colour means updating the colour on your V5C and telling your insurer. We leave the windscreen and front side windows clear, because the Construction and Use Regulations 1986 require at least 75% and 70% light through them, and we check the paint is sound factory finish before wrapping. If the vehicle is leased, confirm the lease permits graphics and how they must come off.
