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.
Van sign-writing in Loughborough: the practical benefits
- Parked on a driveway in Loughborough for a day's work, a sign-written van tells the whole street who's doing the job and how to ring you.
- Dog walkers and weekend shoppers in Loughborough pass parked vans at walking pace, which is when a simple layout gets read from top to bottom.
- Plumbers, electricians and gardeners working in Loughborough often need only a name, three services and a number, which is exactly what lettering does well.

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 Loughborough
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.
