What makes van sign-writing more or less expensive?

Size and quantity come first, then the material or film, any lighting, the height of the work and the equipment needed to reach it, and the state of the surface or old sign being replaced. Against that, the guide for a job in Nuneaton is £245–£895 per van + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

Do you work across Warwickshire or only in Nuneaton?

Across all of Warwickshire, and the rest of the UK too. Nuneaton is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Can you match my logo colours exactly?

Cut vinyl comes in a fixed range of colours, so we pick the closest match to your brand colours and show it on the proof. Where an exact match matters, the logo can be printed instead, because print can be tuned more finely. Screens show colours differently, so a printed sample is worth asking for.

How long does van lettering last?

Manufacturers commonly rate quality cast vinyl for around 5–7 years on vertical surfaces such as van sides. Polymeric cut vinyl costs less and has a shorter rated life, which can suit a van you'll change in a few years. Sun exposure and washing habits matter, and lettering on a bonnet ages faster than lettering on the sides.

Could the consent process affect the timing of my job in Nuneaton?

It can. Not every job needs an application, but where express consent is required the council's decision typically takes several weeks, and fitting typically waits until it is granted. We check this at the start, so the timetable you receive with your quote allows for consent where it applies, along with the proof approval stage.

Can you copy the lettering from my old van?

Yes, as long as there are clear photos. Send straight-on pictures of each side and the rear doors, with something of known size in shot such as the number plate. We redraw the layout to suit the new van's panels, which is also a good moment to tidy up the wording or update the phone number.

Van sign-writing in Warwickshire

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 in Warwickshire?

Guide prices in Warwickshire

Pricing for van sign-writing is worked out job by job, but the guide range is £245 to £895 per van + VAT. The table lists typical options. Your figure is confirmed only after a site survey or a check of the artwork you send.

Every figure is a guide excluding VAT, confirmed once we've seen your wording and photos of the van.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Warwickshire

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.

Options worth considering

Lettering with printed logo panels

Cut lettering plus a printed, laminated logo where colours or gradients need it.

Reflective lettering

Retroreflective vinyl for key details, bright in headlights at night.

Rear-window graphics

Perforated one-way vision film on the rear glass of vans with two exterior mirrors.
