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 Durham
- If you trade across County Durham as well as Durham, a wrapped van takes the same branding to every job without paying for advertising space.
- Planning to sell or hand back the van later? Keeping the paint covered while you work around Durham can help it go back in better condition.
- Vans left overnight on residential streets in Durham carry on advertising in the evenings and at weekends, when people are at home and more likely to notice.
What van wraps cost in Durham
We publish guide prices so you can plan before you get in touch. For van wraps the range is £795–£3,850 per van, not including VAT, and the final price is confirmed after we survey the site or check the artwork.
| 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.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Durham
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.
Covering Durham and County Durham
Coverage is nationwide, which means Durham and the surrounding parts of County Durham are included as standard. Anything fixed to a building normally needs someone on site to measure and check fixings and access; simpler graphics can usually be quoted from images you send. Postcode districts around Durham include DH1. From Darlington, Durham is roughly 18 miles to the north.
