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.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Carluke
Scotland follows the same approach to vehicle graphics as the rest of the UK. Livery on a van, car or lorry in everyday use is not treated as an advertisement needing consent; the council's interest starts only if a vehicle is parked up chiefly as a sign. What matters instead is the paperwork and the glass. DVLA should be told of any change of main colour through the V5C, and so should your insurer. Light transmission rules set a minimum of 75% for the windscreen and 70% for the front side windows, so our layouts never touch them. Lease or contract hire? Read the terms on graphics and removal first.
