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 Hounslow
- Dog walkers and weekend shoppers in Hounslow 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 Hounslow roads than any leaflet spends on a doormat, so put the money into large, clear lettering.
- Expanding beyond Hounslow into the rest of Greater London? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Hounslow
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.
