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.
Why choose van sign-writing for a business in Nelson?
- Plumbers, electricians and gardeners working in Nelson often need only a name, three services and a number, which is exactly what lettering does well.
- Expanding beyond Nelson into the rest of Gwent? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Sole traders who win most work by word of mouth around Nelson make referrals easier with a phone number neighbours can note down.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Nelson
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.
