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.
Why choose van sign-writing for a business in South Shields?
- Plumbers, electricians and gardeners working in South Shields often need only a name, three services and a number, which is exactly what lettering does well.
- Dog walkers and weekend shoppers in South Shields 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 South Shields, a clearly lettered van can bring in subcontract work from other trades.

Rules for vehicle graphics in South 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.
