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 Chester
- Queues on the main roads in and out of Chester give the driver behind you time to read a phone number on your rear doors.
- Wherever you park in Chester, whether a trade counter, a supermarket car park or a client's drive, the wrap keeps working while you do.
- Vans left overnight on residential streets in Chester carry on advertising in the evenings and at weekends, when people are at home and more likely to notice.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Chester
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.
