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 Nelson?
- Every day your van spends parked outside a customer's house in Nelson is a day the neighbours see your name, services and number at eye level.
- Queues on the main roads in and out of Nelson give the driver behind you time to read a phone number on your rear doors.
- A firm just starting out in Nelson can look properly set up from the first job with a wrap rather than a magnetic sign on the door.
What van wraps cost in Nelson

Rules for vehicle graphics in Nelson
Do you need the council's permission to wrap or letter a vehicle in Wales? Normally no. Graphics carried on a vehicle that is driven in the ordinary course of business sit outside advertisement control, and only a vehicle left standing largely as an advertising display is likely to interest the council. The rules that do bite concern registration and the road. A new main colour has to be recorded on the V5C with DVLA, and your insurer should hear about it. Front glazing stays clear: the 1986 Construction and Use Regulations require 75% of light through the windscreen and 70% through the front side windows. If the vehicle is leased, check the agreement allows graphics.
Covering Nelson and Gwent
Yes, Nelson is covered, as is the rest of Gwent. For signs that are fixed to a wall or wired in, we arrange a visit to survey first. For window film, lettering or vehicle graphics, a set of photos with measurements is often all we need to put a price together. Addresses in CF46 and CF82 are all within our Nelson, Gwent coverage. Nelson is about 13 miles west of Newport.
