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 Portsmouth?
- Every day your van spends parked outside a customer's house in Portsmouth is a day the neighbours see your name, services and number at eye level.
- A firm just starting out in Portsmouth can look properly set up from the first job with a wrap rather than a magnetic sign on the door.
- Vans left overnight on residential streets in Portsmouth carry on advertising in the evenings and at weekends, when people are at home and more likely to notice.
What van wraps cost in Portsmouth
Budgeting for van wraps? The guide below runs from £795 to £3,850 per van. VAT is extra. Size, materials and access decide where your job lands, and we confirm it in writing after surveying or checking 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.
Options for your Portsmouth project
Colour change plus graphics
Plain coloured film over the whole van, with printed or cut graphics on top.
Part wrap
Sides and rear printed over your factory paint, which does part of the design work.
Gloss, satin or matt laminate
The laminate finish changes how colours look and how easily the van wipes clean.
Rules for vehicle graphics in Portsmouth
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.
Covering Portsmouth and Hampshire
From the middle of Portsmouth to the edges of Hampshire, the same survey, proof and fit process applies. If the job calls for someone on site, a visit is booked; if not, we price from photos, measurements and your artwork, then confirm the details once the artwork is checked.
