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.
Points in favour of van sign-writing in Pontypool
- Sole traders who win most work by word of mouth around Pontypool make referrals easier with a phone number neighbours can note down.
- Expanding beyond Pontypool into the rest of Gwent? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Your van probably spends more time on Pontypool roads than any leaflet spends on a doormat, so put the money into large, clear lettering.

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 Pontypool
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.
Covering Pontypool and Gwent
From the middle of Pontypool to the edges of Gwent, the same survey, proof and fit process applies. If the job calls for someone on site, a visit is booked; if not, we price from photos, measurements and your artwork, then confirm the details once the artwork is checked. The Pontypool postcode districts we quote for include NP4. Roughly 8.1 miles separate Pontypool from Newport, which lies to the south.
