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.
What you gain from van wraps in Waltham Abbey
- Vans left overnight on residential streets in Waltham Abbey carry on advertising in the evenings and at weekends, when people are at home and more likely to notice.
- Slow school-run and commuter traffic through Waltham Abbey gives side panels time to be read, which rewards a short services list and large lettering.
- Queues on the main roads in and out of Waltham Abbey give the driver behind you time to read a phone number on your rear doors.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Waltham Abbey
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.
