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.
Where van sign-writing can pay off in Ebbw Vale
- Sole traders who win most work by word of mouth around Ebbw Vale make referrals easier with a phone number neighbours can note down.
- Parked on a driveway in Ebbw Vale for a day's work, a sign-written van tells the whole street who's doing the job and how to ring you.
- Expanding beyond Ebbw Vale into the rest of Gwent? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Ebbw Vale
Planning rarely comes into vans and cars in Wales, because advertisements on vehicles normally used for travelling are outside advertisement control; a vehicle parked up as a static billboard is the exception. The checks that matter are practical. Tell DVLA, using the V5C, and your insurer if the main colour changes. Keep the windscreen and front side windows clear so they meet the 75% and 70% light minimums in the Construction and Use Regulations 1986. And make sure the paint is sound factory finish, since resprays, rust or failing lacquer can lift when a wrap is later removed.
