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 Swinton
- Dog walkers and weekend shoppers in Swinton pass parked vans at walking pace, which is when a simple layout gets read from top to bottom.
- Many people in Swinton look a firm up online before calling, so a short web address on the rear doors makes that step easy.
- Expanding beyond Swinton into the rest of Greater Manchester? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Swinton
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.
