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.
Van wraps in Stockton-on-Tees: the practical benefits
- If you trade across County Durham as well as Stockton-on-Tees, a wrapped van takes the same branding to every job without paying for advertising space.
- Slow school-run and commuter traffic through Stockton-on-Tees gives side panels time to be read, which rewards a short services list and large lettering.
- Planning to sell or hand back the van later? Keeping the paint covered while you work around Stockton-on-Tees can help it go back in better condition.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Stockton-on-Tees
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.
