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.
Where van wraps can pay off in Dartford
- Slow school-run and commuter traffic through Dartford gives side panels time to be read, which rewards a short services list and large lettering.
- A firm just starting out in Dartford can look properly set up from the first job with a wrap rather than a magnetic sign on the door.
- If you trade across Kent as well as Dartford, a wrapped van takes the same branding to every job without paying for advertising space.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Dartford
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.
