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.
Reasons to choose van sign-writing in North Shields
- Many people in North Shields look a firm up online before calling, so a short web address on the rear doors makes that step easy.
- Plumbers, electricians and gardeners working in North Shields often need only a name, three services and a number, which is exactly what lettering does well.
- Your van probably spends more time on North Shields roads than any leaflet spends on a doormat, so put the money into large, clear lettering.

Rules for vehicle graphics in North Shields
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.
