What makes van wraps more or less expensive?

Size and quantity come first, then the material or film, any lighting, the height of the work and the equipment needed to reach it, and the state of the surface or old sign being replaced. Against that, the guide for a job in Aberdare is £795–£3,850 per van + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

Do you need print-ready artwork for a van wrap?

No. A logo file, your brand colours and the wording you want are enough to start. The design is laid out on a scale template of your van, with each side, the front and the rear doors shown on the proof. If you already have a full wrap design, we check it against the template so nothing lands on a handle or door gap.

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.

Do you work across Mid Glamorgan or only in Aberdare?

Across all of Mid Glamorgan, and the rest of the UK too. Aberdare 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.

When could work on van wraps go ahead in Aberdare?

Fitting is typically scheduled once three things are in place: you have approved the proof, the materials are made or delivered, and any consent the job needs has been granted. For many jobs that is typically a few weeks from approval; illuminated or larger fabricated signs typically take longer, and consent decisions run to their own timetable.

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.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Aberdare

Do you need the council's permission to wrap or letter a vehicle in Wales? Normally no. Graphics carried on a vehicle that is driven in the ordinary course of business sit outside advertisement control, and only a vehicle left standing largely as an advertising display is likely to interest the council. The rules that do bite concern registration and the road. A new main colour has to be recorded on the V5C with DVLA, and your insurer should hear about it. Front glazing stays clear: the 1986 Construction and Use Regulations require 75% of light through the windscreen and 70% through the front side windows. If the vehicle is leased, check the agreement allows graphics.
