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.
Reasons to choose van wraps in Ely
- A firm just starting out in Ely can look properly set up from the first job with a wrap rather than a magnetic sign on the door.
- Vans left overnight on residential streets in Ely carry on advertising in the evenings and at weekends, when people are at home and more likely to notice.
- Queues on the main roads in and out of Ely give the driver behind you time to read a phone number on your rear doors.
What van wraps cost in Ely
How much? Expect a guide range of £795–£3,850 per van, VAT excluded. The rows below show what moves a job up or down that range, and the figure becomes firm once the survey or artwork check is done.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Part wrap (sides and rear) | £795 – £1,850 | £954 – £2,220 |
| Full wrap, small or medium van | £1,950 – £2,950 | £2,340 – £3,540 |
| Full wrap, long-wheelbase or high-roof van | £2,450 – £3,850 | £2,940 – £4,620 |
The main drivers are van size, how much is covered, how complex the panels are, design time and whether old graphics have to come off first. Ribbed sides and deep recesses take longer to fit. All prices exclude VAT and are confirmed after we've checked your van details and artwork.
Options for your Ely project
Gloss, satin or matt laminate
The laminate finish changes how colours look and how easily the van wipes clean.
Full wrap
Almost every painted exterior panel covered, for a new colour or an end-to-end design.
Part wrap
Sides and rear printed over your factory paint, which does part of the design work.
Rules for vehicle graphics in Ely
For vehicles, the paperwork is about DVLA and your insurer, not the planning department. Graphics on a van or car that is normally driven around fall outside advertisement control; only a vehicle parked mainly as an advertising hoarding is caught. A change of main colour means updating the colour on your V5C and telling your insurer. We leave the windscreen and front side windows clear, because the Construction and Use Regulations 1986 require at least 75% and 70% light through them, and we check the paint is sound factory finish before wrapping. If the vehicle is leased, confirm the lease permits graphics and how they must come off.
