A van wrap is printed cast vinyl film, protected by a clear laminate, applied over a van's factory paint to cover some or all of its panels with your branding, colours and contact details.

Why choose van wraps in Angus and Dundee?

  • Planning to sell or hand back the van later? Keeping the paint covered while you work around Dundee can help it go back in better condition.
  • Queues on the main roads in and out of Dundee give the driver behind you time to read a phone number on your rear doors.
  • Slow school-run and commuter traffic through Dundee gives side panels time to be read, which rewards a short services list and large lettering.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Angus and Dundee

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.

Options worth considering

Full wrap

Almost every painted exterior panel covered, for a new colour or an end-to-end design.

Colour change plus graphics

Plain coloured film over the whole van, with printed or cut graphics on top.

Part wrap

Sides and rear printed over your factory paint, which does part of the design work.

Van wraps in Angus and Dundee: questions

Why is there a price range for van wraps rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £795 to £3,850 per van + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Dundee.

What can delay van wraps in Dundee?

The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.

Where does the van get wrapped?

Wrapping needs a clean, dry, covered space at a reasonable temperature, because dust and damp affect how the film sticks. If you have a suitable unit or garage with room to walk around the van, fitting can often happen there; otherwise we agree a location with you. A full wrap typically keeps the van off the road for 1–3 days.

How long does a van wrap last?

Manufacturers commonly rate quality cast wrap film for around 5–7 years on vertical panels such as the sides and rear doors. The roof and bonnet face the sun and weather directly, so they age faster. Colour, climate, parking and washing habits all make a difference, and a van kept out of direct sun and washed gently will usually look better for longer.

Can graphics go on the rear windows?

Yes, on the rear windows, using perforated one-way vision film that lets the driver see out while passers-by see the print. It's used on vans with two exterior mirrors. The windscreen and front side windows must let through at least 75 per cent and 70 per cent of light respectively, so we keep graphics off those.

Do you work across Angus and Dundee or only in Dundee?

Across all of Angus and Dundee, and the rest of the UK too. Dundee 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.
