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.
Reasons to choose van sign-writing in Wigan
- Expanding beyond Wigan into the rest of Greater Manchester? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Many people in Wigan look a firm up online before calling, so a short web address on the rear doors makes that step easy.
- Dog walkers and weekend shoppers in Wigan pass parked vans at walking pace, which is when a simple layout gets read from top to bottom.
What van sign-writing costs in Wigan
We publish guide prices so you can plan before you get in touch. For van sign-writing the range is £245–£895 per van, not including VAT, and the final price is confirmed after we survey the site or check 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 Wigan
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.
Covering Wigan and Greater Manchester
From the middle of Wigan to the edges of Greater Manchester, the same survey, proof and fit process applies. If the job calls for someone on site, a visit is booked; if not, we price from photos, measurements and your artwork, then confirm the details once the artwork is checked. Around Wigan, that covers postcode districts such as WN1, WN3, WN5 and WN2. Roughly 17 miles separate Wigan from Manchester, which lies to the east.
