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 Bury
- Many people in Bury look a firm up online before calling, so a short web address on the rear doors makes that step easy.
- Expanding beyond Bury into the rest of Greater Manchester? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Plumbers, electricians and gardeners working in Bury often need only a name, three services and a number, which is exactly what lettering does well.
What van sign-writing costs in Bury
Guide prices for van sign-writing run from £245 to £895 per van, excluding VAT. The table below breaks that down; your actual price is fixed in writing once we have surveyed the site or checked 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 Bury
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.
Covering Bury and Greater Manchester
