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 you gain from van sign-writing in Musselburgh
- Plumbers, electricians and gardeners working in Musselburgh often need only a name, three services and a number, which is exactly what lettering does well.
- Dog walkers and weekend shoppers in Musselburgh pass parked vans at walking pace, which is when a simple layout gets read from top to bottom.
- Your van probably spends more time on Musselburgh roads than any leaflet spends on a doormat, so put the money into large, clear lettering.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Musselburgh
Scotland follows the same approach to vehicle graphics as the rest of the UK. Livery on a van, car or lorry in everyday use is not treated as an advertisement needing consent; the council's interest starts only if a vehicle is parked up chiefly as a sign. What matters instead is the paperwork and the glass. DVLA should be told of any change of main colour through the V5C, and so should your insurer. Light transmission rules set a minimum of 75% for the windscreen and 70% for the front side windows, so our layouts never touch them. Lease or contract hire? Read the terms on graphics and removal first.
