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 Oxford: the practical benefits
- Parked on a driveway in Oxford 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 Oxford pass parked vans at walking pace, which is when a simple layout gets read from top to bottom.
- Sole traders who win most work by word of mouth around Oxford make referrals easier with a phone number neighbours can note down.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Oxford
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.
