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.
Reasons to choose van wraps in North Shields
- If you trade across Tyne and Wear as well as North Shields, a wrapped van takes the same branding to every job without paying for advertising space.
- Slow school-run and commuter traffic through North Shields gives side panels time to be read, which rewards a short services list and large lettering.
- A firm just starting out in North Shields can look properly set up from the first job with a wrap rather than a magnetic sign on the door.
What van wraps cost in North Shields
We publish guide prices so you can plan before you get in touch. For van wraps the range is £795–£3,850 per van, not including VAT, and the final price is confirmed after we survey the site or check the artwork.

Rules for vehicle graphics in North Shields
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.
