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.

Practical reasons to consider van wraps in Carluke

  • Slow school-run and commuter traffic through Carluke gives side panels time to be read, which rewards a short services list and large lettering.
  • Wherever you park in Carluke, whether a trade counter, a supermarket car park or a client's drive, the wrap keeps working while you do.
  • Planning to sell or hand back the van later? Keeping the paint covered while you work around Carluke can help it go back in better condition.

Options for your Carluke project

Full wrap

Almost every painted exterior panel covered, for a new colour or an end-to-end design.

Reflective details

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

Gloss, satin or matt laminate

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

Rules for vehicle graphics in Carluke

For vehicle graphics in Scotland, think DVLA and insurance rather than planning. A vehicle that is normally driven is outside advertisement control, though one parked up mainly as an advertisement is not. If the main colour changes, update the colour on your V5C and tell your insurer. We keep all graphics clear of the windscreen and front side windows, which need at least 75% and 70% light transmission under the 1986 Construction and Use Regulations. Before wrapping, we check the paintwork: chips, rust, poor resprays or failing lacquer can lift when the wrap is removed later.

Covering Carluke and Lanarkshire

Van wraps in Carluke: questions

Can you handle van wraps for a business in Carluke?

Yes. Smart Signs covers Carluke and the rest of Lanarkshire as part of a UK-wide service. You send photos and rough sizes, we arrange a survey if the job needs one, then you receive a proof to scale and a fixed written price. Nothing is made or fitted until you have approved both.

How soon after I approve the proof can the work on van wraps happen?

Typically within a few weeks, depending on what has to be made. Printed and cut graphics are typically produced sooner than fabricated letters, trays or illuminated signs, which need more fabrication time. If the job needs advertisement consent, fitting waits for the council's decision. We confirm an expected date for Carluke once materials are ordered.

What if your phone number or services change?

The affected area can usually be patched with a new printed section cut to fit the existing design, rather than redoing the whole van. On an older wrap, new print may look slightly brighter than film that has been in the sun for a while, so replacing a larger panel, such as a whole rear door, can blend in better.

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.

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.

Does the price of van wraps in Carluke include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £795–£3,850 per van excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.
