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.
Where van sign-writing can pay off in East Kilbride
- Expanding beyond East Kilbride into the rest of Lanarkshire? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Your van probably spends more time on East Kilbride roads than any leaflet spends on a doormat, so put the money into large, clear lettering.
- Dog walkers and weekend shoppers in East Kilbride pass parked vans at walking pace, which is when a simple layout gets read from top to bottom.

Rules for vehicle graphics in East Kilbride
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 East Kilbride and Lanarkshire
Yes, East Kilbride is covered, as is the rest of Lanarkshire. For signs that are fixed to a wall or wired in, we arrange a visit to survey first. For window film, lettering or vehicle graphics, a set of photos with measurements is often all we need to put a price together. Addresses in G74 and G75 are all within our East Kilbride coverage.
