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.
Why choose van wraps for a business in Chelmsford?
- Every day your van spends parked outside a customer's house in Chelmsford is a day the neighbours see your name, services and number at eye level.
- A firm just starting out in Chelmsford can look properly set up from the first job with a wrap rather than a magnetic sign on the door.
- Wherever you park in Chelmsford, whether a trade counter, a supermarket car park or a client's drive, the wrap keeps working while you do.
What van wraps cost in Chelmsford
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 |

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 Chelmsford project
Part wrap
Sides and rear printed over your factory paint, which does part of the design work.
Full wrap
Almost every painted exterior panel covered, for a new colour or an end-to-end design.
Gloss, satin or matt laminate
The laminate finish changes how colours look and how easily the van wipes clean.
Rules for vehicle graphics in Chelmsford
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.
Covering Chelmsford and Essex
Coverage is nationwide, which means Chelmsford and the surrounding parts of Essex 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. The Chelmsford postcode districts we quote for include CM1 and CM2. Roughly 17 miles separate Chelmsford from Southend-on-Sea, which lies to the south-east.
