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.
Good reasons to look at van sign-writing in Shrewsbury
- Expanding beyond Shrewsbury into the rest of Shropshire? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Dog walkers and weekend shoppers in Shrewsbury 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 Shrewsbury, a clearly lettered van can bring in subcontract work from other trades.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Shrewsbury
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.
