A van with Printed panel graphics signage

Six ways to put your name on a van

Nearly every job is a combination of these. A good layout uses two or three of them, not all six.

01Cut vinyl letteringSolid colour text and shapes, weeded and applied piece by piece. Lowest cost, longest life, and completely adequate for most trades.

02Printed logo panelsWhere your logo has gradients, photographs or fine detail, it is printed, laminated and cut to shape rather than reproduced in flat colour.

03Rear door graphicsThe panel that does the most work. In stopped traffic your rear doors are read for minutes at a time — that is where the phone number belongs.

04One-way vision windowsPerforated film so artwork continues across the rear glass while the driver still sees out of it.

05Magnetic panelsFor leased vehicles or a car used for work — the branding goes on for the job and comes off at the weekend.

06What we do not doWraps, full or partial. Flooding panels with printed film is a different job with different kit, and we would rather point you at a specialist than do it badly.

Vinyl fails on the forecourt,
not on the road.

Film needs a clean, warm, dry panel to bond to. Applied outside in the cold it lifts at the edges and traps moisture — that is the lettering you see curling off vans on the motorway.

01Indoors, at temperaturePanels washed, degreased and warmed before anything is applied.

02Cast film on the curvesCast vinyl over rivets, swages and door returns, so it stays where it was put.

03Lease-safe adhesiveRemovable film so it lifts cleanly at handback and the paint underneath stays yours.

What actually gets read at thirty miles an hour

The commonest mistake is fitting everything on. A van that says three things clearly beats one that says nine things badly.

01Your nameBig, on the upper panel, readable across two lanes of traffic.

02Your tradeSo a stranger knows in one glance whether to bother writing the number down.

03One numberA single contact number in large digits, not a mobile and a landline and an email.

04Web addressSmaller, underneath. People photograph it rather than memorise it.

05AccreditationsGas Safe, NICEIC and the rest, placed properly rather than squeezed into a corner.

Questions

Panel signage questions

How long is the van off the road?

Most jobs are a few hours. A larger set of panel graphics across several vehicles takes longer, and we book the slot so you know before you commit.

Will it damage the paintwork?

No, when it is done properly. Quality film is designed to be removed. What damages paint is cheap adhesive left on for years, or a wrap pulled off in the cold with a scraper.

Can I have it on a leased van?

Yes, and it is very common. We use removable film so it lifts cleanly at handback. Check your lease terms first — most allow signage, some require the vehicle returned to plain.

How long does it last?

Cut vinyl lettering typically lasts several years. Printed graphics are laminated to protect the ink, and how long they hold up depends mostly on whether the vehicle is garaged, jet-washed weekly, or parked under trees.

I have no logo. Can you still do it?

Yes. Plenty of trades come to us with a name and a phone number and nothing else. We can lay it out properly, or design something from scratch.
