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

Rules for vehicle graphics in Welshpool
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.
