Why is there a price range for van sign-writing rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £245 to £895 per van + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Cwmbran.

Do you need the van for a whole day?

Usually not. Lettering on the sides and rear is typically fitted in 2–4 hours, once the van has been washed and dried. Vinyl needs dry conditions and reasonable temperatures to stick properly, so outdoor fitting depends on the weather; if it's wet or very cold, we'll suggest a covered space or another date.

Can you copy the lettering from my old van?

Yes, as long as there are clear photos. Send straight-on pictures of each side and the rear doors, with something of known size in shot such as the number plate. We redraw the layout to suit the new van's panels, which is also a good moment to tidy up the wording or update the phone number.

Can you match my logo colours exactly?

Cut vinyl comes in a fixed range of colours, so we pick the closest match to your brand colours and show it on the proof. Where an exact match matters, the logo can be printed instead, because print can be tuned more finely. Screens show colours differently, so a printed sample is worth asking for.

When could work on van sign-writing go ahead in Cwmbran?

Fitting is typically scheduled once three things are in place: you have approved the proof, the materials are made or delivered, and any consent the job needs has been granted. For many jobs that is typically a few weeks from approval; illuminated or larger fabricated signs typically take longer, and consent decisions run to their own timetable.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Cwmbran

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.
