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 Canvey Island?
- Your van probably spends more time on Canvey Island roads than any leaflet spends on a doormat, so put the money into large, clear lettering.
- Pulled up at a supplier or trade counter in or around Canvey Island, a clearly lettered van can bring in subcontract work from other trades.
- Sole traders who win most work by word of mouth around Canvey Island make referrals easier with a phone number neighbours can note down.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Canvey Island
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.
