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.
Good reasons to look at van sign-writing in Nelson
- Your van probably spends more time on Nelson roads than any leaflet spends on a doormat, so put the money into large, clear lettering.
- Parked on a driveway in Nelson for a day's work, a sign-written van tells the whole street who's doing the job and how to ring you.
- Sole traders who win most work by word of mouth around Nelson make referrals easier with a phone number neighbours can note down.
What van sign-writing costs in Nelson
The figures in this table are guide prices, from £245 to £895 per van, and they exclude VAT. They are there to help you plan. A firm price follows the survey or artwork check and is agreed before any work starts.
| 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 Nelson
Advertisement consent does not usually come into vehicle graphics. Advertisements on a vehicle normally used as a moving vehicle are outside advertisement control in England, although a vehicle parked up mainly to act as a billboard is treated differently. The rules that matter are road and registration ones. If a wrap changes the main colour, update the V5C log book with DVLA and tell your insurer. The windscreen must let through at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70% under the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, so we keep graphics off them. Leased vehicles: check the lease allows graphics.
