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.
What van sign-writing can do for businesses in Eastbourne
- Your van probably spends more time on Eastbourne roads than any leaflet spends on a doormat, so put the money into large, clear lettering.
- Sole traders who win most work by word of mouth around Eastbourne make referrals easier with a phone number neighbours can note down.
- Many people in Eastbourne 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 Eastbourne
Budgeting for van sign-writing? The guide below runs from £245 to £895 per van. VAT is extra. Size, materials and access decide where your job lands, and we confirm it in writing after surveying or checking 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 Eastbourne
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 Eastbourne and East Sussex
Wherever you are in East Sussex, Eastbourne included, the service is identical. We arrange a survey when the sign is fixed to a building or needs power, and we work from photographs, drawings or the make and model of the vehicle when that is enough to price graphics accurately. Around Eastbourne, that covers postcode districts such as BN21, BN22, BN20 and BN23. Eastbourne lies around 19 miles east of Brighton.
