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 van wraps can do for businesses in Canterbury
- Slow school-run and commuter traffic through Canterbury gives side panels time to be read, which rewards a short services list and large lettering.
- Vans left overnight on residential streets in Canterbury carry on advertising in the evenings and at weekends, when people are at home and more likely to notice.
- Wherever you park in Canterbury, 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 Canterbury
Below is the guide pricing we use for van wraps: from £795 up to £3,850 per van, before VAT. These are not fixed quotes. A written price follows once measurements are taken and your artwork has been checked.
| 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.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Canterbury
Advertisement consent does not usually come into vehicle graphics. Advertisements on a vehicle normally used as a moving vehicle are outside advertisement control in England, although a vehicle parked up mainly to act as a billboard is treated differently. The rules that matter are road and registration ones. If a wrap changes the main colour, update the V5C log book with DVLA and tell your insurer. The windscreen must let through at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70% under the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986, so we keep graphics off them. Leased vehicles: check the lease allows graphics.
Covering Canterbury and Kent
Our coverage takes in Canterbury, the rest of Kent and the rest of the UK. Fitted signs usually start with a site visit so the wall can be measured, the fixings checked and access planned. Window and vehicle graphics can often be priced from your own pictures instead. The Canterbury postcode districts we quote for include CT1 and CT2. Roughly 24 miles separate Canterbury from Maidstone, which lies to the west.
