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.
Van sign-writing in Blackwood: the practical benefits
- Expanding beyond Blackwood into the rest of Gwent? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Many people in Blackwood look a firm up online before calling, so a short web address on the rear doors makes that step easy.
- Your van probably spends more time on Blackwood roads than any leaflet spends on a doormat, so put the money into large, clear lettering.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Blackwood
Wrapping or lettering a vehicle in Wales follows the same road and registration rules as the rest of Great Britain. Graphics on a vehicle that is normally driven are outside advertisement control, although a vehicle left parked mainly as an advert is treated differently. Change the main colour and the V5C needs updating with DVLA, and your insurer needs to know. Graphics stay off the windscreen and front side windows, which must transmit at least 75% and 70% of light respectively. Leased? Check the agreement permits graphics and how they must come off. We plan every layout around these points from the first proof.
