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 Maidstone
- Your van probably spends more time on Maidstone roads than any leaflet spends on a doormat, so put the money into large, clear lettering.
- Parked on a driveway in Maidstone for a day's work, a sign-written van tells the whole street who's doing the job and how to ring you.
- Pulled up at a supplier or trade counter in or around Maidstone, a clearly lettered van can bring in subcontract work from other trades.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Maidstone
Think road rules rather than planning rules. In England a vehicle normally used for driving is outside advertisement control, although parking one somewhere chiefly as a billboard can bring it back within the council's remit. Three checks matter more. Tell DVLA, via the V5C, and your insurer if the main colour changes. Keep the windscreen at 75% light transmission or better and the front side windows at 70% or better, as the 1986 Construction and Use Regulations require. And for lease vehicles, read the agreement for what it says about graphics and removal. We plan every layout around all three.
