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.
Points in favour of van wraps in Margate
- Vans left overnight on residential streets in Margate carry on advertising in the evenings and at weekends, when people are at home and more likely to notice.
- If you trade across Kent as well as Margate, a wrapped van takes the same branding to every job without paying for advertising space.
- Slow school-run and commuter traffic through Margate gives side panels time to be read, which rewards a short services list and large lettering.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Margate
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.
