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.
The case for van sign-writing in Newport
- Pulled up at a supplier or trade counter in or around Newport, a clearly lettered van can bring in subcontract work from other trades.
- Parked on a driveway in Newport for a day's work, a sign-written van tells the whole street who's doing the job and how to ring you.
- Your van probably spends more time on Newport roads than any leaflet spends on a doormat, so put the money into large, clear lettering.
What van sign-writing costs in Newport
The table shows guide prices for van sign-writing, starting from £245 and reaching about £895 per van. All figures exclude VAT. Your own price is confirmed after we have seen the site or the artwork, so treat these as a starting point.

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 Newport
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.
