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 Chester-le-Street
- Vans left overnight on residential streets in Chester-le-Street carry on advertising in the evenings and at weekends, when people are at home and more likely to notice.
- Planning to sell or hand back the van later? Keeping the paint covered while you work around Chester-le-Street can help it go back in better condition.
- Slow school-run and commuter traffic through Chester-le-Street gives side panels time to be read, which rewards a short services list and large lettering.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Chester-le-Street
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.
