Van sign-writing in Pencoed

Cut vinyl is solid-colour film cut by a plotter into letters and shapes, then weeded and applied, so it's crisp, durable and economical for text. Printed graphics are inks on white film, laminated, and used where a logo has gradients, photos or many colours. Many vans combine both: cut lettering with one printed logo panel.

Fitting is typically scheduled once three things are in place: you have approved the proof, the materials are made or delivered, and any consent the job needs has been granted. For many jobs that is typically a few weeks from approval; illuminated or larger fabricated signs typically take longer, and consent decisions run to their own timetable.

Yes, as long as there are clear photos. Send straight-on pictures of each side and the rear doors, with something of known size in shot such as the number plate. We redraw the layout to suit the new van's panels, which is also a good moment to tidy up the wording or update the phone number.

Photos are the most useful start: the whole frontage, window or vehicle, plus a close-up of the area involved. Add rough measurements, your logo or artwork if you have it, and the address. From that we can say whether a survey visit is needed and send a written quote, followed by a proof for you to approve.

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £245–£895 per van + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Pencoed are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

Usually not. Lettering on the sides and rear is typically fitted in 2–4 hours, once the van has been washed and dried. Vinyl needs dry conditions and reasonable temperatures to stick properly, so outdoor fitting depends on the weather; if it's wet or very cold, we'll suggest a covered space or another date.
