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.
What van sign-writing can do for businesses in Inverness
- Plumbers, electricians and gardeners working in Inverness often need only a name, three services and a number, which is exactly what lettering does well.
- Many people in Inverness look a firm up online before calling, so a short web address on the rear doors makes that step easy.
- Expanding beyond Inverness into the rest of the Highlands and Islands? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
What van sign-writing costs in Inverness
Prices below are guides, not quotes: £245 to £895 per van plus VAT, depending on size, materials and access. We confirm the exact figure after a survey or an artwork check, and it is agreed before anything is made.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic lettering (sides and rear) | £245 – £450 | £294 – £540 |
| Lettering with printed logo panels | £395 – £895 | £474 – £1,074 |
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 Inverness
For vehicle graphics in Scotland, think DVLA and insurance rather than planning. A vehicle that is normally driven is outside advertisement control, though one parked up mainly as an advertisement is not. If the main colour changes, update the colour on your V5C and tell your insurer. We keep all graphics clear of the windscreen and front side windows, which need at least 75% and 70% light transmission under the 1986 Construction and Use Regulations. Before wrapping, we check the paintwork: chips, rust, poor resprays or failing lacquer can lift when the wrap is removed later.
Covering Inverness and the Highlands and Islands
Coverage is nationwide, which means Inverness and the surrounding parts of the Highlands and Islands are included as standard. Anything fixed to a building normally needs someone on site to measure and check fixings and access; simpler graphics can usually be quoted from images you send. Around Inverness, that covers postcode districts such as IV1, IV3 and IV2.
Surveys and fitting in and around Inverness are arranged case by case, and any travel costs are itemised on your quote.
