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.
The case for van wraps in Preston
- Vans left overnight on residential streets in Preston carry on advertising in the evenings and at weekends, when people are at home and more likely to notice.
- Queues on the main roads in and out of Preston give the driver behind you time to read a phone number on your rear doors.
- Wherever you park in Preston, whether a trade counter, a supermarket car park or a client's drive, the wrap keeps working while you do.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Preston
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.
