How long does a van wrap last?

Manufacturers commonly rate quality cast wrap film for around 5–7 years on vertical panels such as the sides and rear doors. The roof and bonnet face the sun and weather directly, so they age faster. Colour, climate, parking and washing habits all make a difference, and a van kept out of direct sun and washed gently will usually look better for longer.

How long does it take to get van wraps in Motherwell?

It typically takes a few weeks from first enquiry, with much of that time falling after you approve the proof, while the work is made and scheduled. Graphics and vehicle jobs are typically shorter than fabricated or illuminated signs. If advertisement consent is needed, the council's decision comes first and adds to the overall timescale.

Is there a guide price for van wraps in Motherwell?

Yes: £795–£3,850 per van + VAT is our guide range. It is not a fixed quote, because no two jobs are the same size or on the same surface. The area covered, materials, the number of letters or panels, removal of anything old and access all change the figure, which we confirm after seeing the site or artwork.

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.

Do you work across Lanarkshire or only in Motherwell?

Across all of Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK too. Motherwell 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.

Where does the van get wrapped?

Wrapping needs a clean, dry, covered space at a reasonable temperature, because dust and damp affect how the film sticks. If you have a suitable unit or garage with room to walk around the van, fitting can often happen there; otherwise we agree a location with you. A full wrap typically keeps the van off the road for 1–3 days.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Motherwell

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.
