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.
Practical reasons to consider van sign-writing in Canary Wharf
- Pulled up at a supplier or trade counter in or around Canary Wharf, a clearly lettered van can bring in subcontract work from other trades.
- Your van probably spends more time on Canary Wharf roads than any leaflet spends on a doormat, so put the money into large, clear lettering.
- Dog walkers and weekend shoppers in Canary Wharf pass parked vans at walking pace, which is when a simple layout gets read from top to bottom.
What van sign-writing costs in Canary Wharf
Guide prices start from £245 and go up to £895 per van, exclusive of VAT. The breakdown below shows where different sizes and options sit. Nothing is final until we have measured up or checked your artwork and sent a written quote.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|

| 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 Canary Wharf
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.
