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.
What van wraps can do for businesses in Lowestoft
- A firm just starting out in Lowestoft can look properly set up from the first job with a wrap rather than a magnetic sign on the door.
- Queues on the main roads in and out of Lowestoft give the driver behind you time to read a phone number on your rear doors.
- Planning to sell or hand back the van later? Keeping the paint covered while you work around Lowestoft can help it go back in better condition.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Lowestoft
For vehicles, the paperwork is about DVLA and your insurer, not the planning department. Graphics on a van or car that is normally driven around fall outside advertisement control; only a vehicle parked mainly as an advertising hoarding is caught. A change of main colour means updating the colour on your V5C and telling your insurer. We leave the windscreen and front side windows clear, because the Construction and Use Regulations 1986 require at least 75% and 70% light through them, and we check the paint is sound factory finish before wrapping. If the vehicle is leased, confirm the lease permits graphics and how they must come off.
