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.
Where van wraps can pay off in Luton
- Slow school-run and commuter traffic through Luton gives side panels time to be read, which rewards a short services list and large lettering.
- Every day your van spends parked outside a customer's house in Luton is a day the neighbours see your name, services and number at eye level.
- If you trade across Bedfordshire as well as Luton, a wrapped van takes the same branding to every job without paying for advertising space.

Options for your Luton project
Colour change plus graphics
Plain coloured film over the whole van, with printed or cut graphics on top.
Reflective details
Retroreflective film for stripes or lettering that shows up in headlights.
Gloss, satin or matt laminate
The laminate finish changes how colours look and how easily the van wipes clean.
Rules for vehicle graphics in Luton
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.
Covering Luton and Bedfordshire
We take on work in Luton, across Bedfordshire and throughout the UK. When a survey makes sense, typically for anything fixed at height or illuminated, we arrange a visit. Graphics are often priced from pictures and dimensions, with a survey added only if the photos leave questions. Around Luton, that covers postcode districts such as LU1, LU2, LU3 and LU4.
