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.
Points in favour of van sign-writing in Erskine
- Expanding beyond Erskine into the rest of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Dog walkers and weekend shoppers in Erskine pass parked vans at walking pace, which is when a simple layout gets read from top to bottom.
- Pulled up at a supplier or trade counter in or around Erskine, a clearly lettered van can bring in subcontract work from other trades.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Erskine
Scotland follows the same approach to vehicle graphics as the rest of the UK. Livery on a van, car or lorry in everyday use is not treated as an advertisement needing consent; the council's interest starts only if a vehicle is parked up chiefly as a sign. What matters instead is the paperwork and the glass. DVLA should be told of any change of main colour through the V5C, and so should your insurer. Light transmission rules set a minimum of 75% for the windscreen and 70% for the front side windows, so our layouts never touch them. Lease or contract hire? Read the terms on graphics and removal first.
