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.
What you gain from van sign-writing in Forres
- Parked on a driveway in Forres for a day's work, a sign-written van tells the whole street who's doing the job and how to ring you.
- Expanding beyond Forres into the rest of Moray? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Sole traders who win most work by word of mouth around Forres make referrals easier with a phone number neighbours can note down.
What van sign-writing costs in Forres
We publish guide prices so you can plan before you get in touch. For van sign-writing the range is £245–£895 per van, not including VAT, and the final price is confirmed after we survey the site or check the artwork.
| 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 Forres
Three practical rules shape vehicle graphics in Scotland. One: change the main colour and the V5C needs updating with DVLA, with your insurer told too. Two: the windscreen must pass at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70%, so graphics are kept off them; rear-window one-way vision is used on vans and cars with two exterior mirrors. Three: on a leased vehicle, check the lease allows graphics and how they must be removed. Advertisement consent does not usually come into it, because vehicles normally used as moving vehicles are outside advertisement control, unlike one parked as a billboard.
