Can graphics go on the rear windows?

Yes, on the rear windows, using perforated one-way vision film that lets the driver see out while passers-by see the print. It's used on vans with two exterior mirrors. The windscreen and front side windows must let through at least 75 per cent and 70 per cent of light respectively, so we keep graphics off those.

Will the location in Inverness affect the cost of van wraps?

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £795–£3,850 per van + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Inverness are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

Do you work across the Highlands and Islands or only in Inverness?

Across all of the Highlands and Islands, and the rest of the UK too. Inverness is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Can a wrap go over the existing lettering?

It's better not to. Old lettering leaves raised edges that show through new film, and the new wrap would only be as secure as the old vinyl underneath. Taking the lettering off first, cleaning away the adhesive and checking for ghosting gives the wrap a smooth base. Removal is quoted as part of the job when it's needed.

When could work on van wraps go ahead in Inverness?

Fitting is typically scheduled once three things are in place: you have approved the proof, the materials are made or delivered, and any consent the job needs has been granted. For many jobs that is typically a few weeks from approval; illuminated or larger fabricated signs typically take longer, and consent decisions run to their own timetable.

Can a wrap go over dents, rust or a respray?

A wrap follows the surface it's on, so dents and deep scratches still show through, and rust keeps spreading underneath. Poor resprays and failing lacquer are the bigger risk, because they can lift when the wrap is removed later. We check the paint before quoting and suggest any repairs that should happen first.

Van wraps in the Highlands and Islands

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 in the Highlands and Islands?

Slow school-run and commuter traffic through Inverness gives side panels time to be read, which rewards a short services list and large lettering.
Every day your van spends parked outside a customer's house in Inverness is a day the neighbours see your name, services and number at eye level.
Planning to sell or hand back the van later? Keeping the paint covered while you work around Inverness can help it go back in better condition.

Guide prices in the Highlands and Islands

Use these figures to budget: £795 to £3,850 per van is the guide range, with VAT added on top. Each line in the table is indicative only, and your exact price is confirmed after a survey or once we have looked over the artwork.

Rules for vehicle graphics in the Highlands and Islands

Three practical rules shape vehicle graphics in Scotland. One: change the main colour and the V5C needs updating with DVLA, with your insurer told too. Two: the windscreen must pass at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70%, so graphics are kept off them; rear-window one-way vision is used on vans and cars with two exterior mirrors. Three: on a leased vehicle, check the lease allows graphics and how they must be removed. Advertisement consent does not usually come into it, because vehicles normally used as moving vehicles are outside advertisement control, unlike one parked as a billboard.

Options worth considering

Gloss, satin or matt laminate

The laminate finish changes how colours look and how easily the van wipes clean.

Reflective details

Retroreflective film for stripes or lettering that shows up in headlights.

Part wrap

Sides and rear printed over your factory paint, which does part of the design work.
