OUR VAN AND 
VEHICLE 
SIGNWRITING 
SERVICES

Not every business needs the same thing. We offer a range of vehicle sign writing options to suit different budgets, vehicles and branding goals.

Cut vinyl lettering
The clean, classic choice. Your business name, logo, phone number and website applied directly to the van using precision-cut adhesive vinyl. Works brilliantly for sole traders and small businesses who want a professional look without a large outlay. Low cost, long lasting and easy to remove when needed.

Full-colour printed graphics and part wraps
For businesses that want to make a stronger visual impression. Printed panels and partial wraps let you bring in photography, colour gradients and detailed artwork. A popular choice for tradespeople, food businesses, hospitality and anyone who wants their van to stand out in a car park or on a busy high street.

  • Fleet signwriting
    Consistent branding across every vehicle in your fleet. We ensure that colour accuracy, positioning and typography are matched across all vehicles, so your fleet looks like a fleet and not a patchwork of different jobs done at different times.

  • Magnetic and removable signs
    A practical option for leased vans or vehicles that are shared across different uses. Magnetic panels give you a professional branded look when you need it, and can be removed just as quickly.

  • Chapter 8 and reflective markings
    For commercial and highway maintenance vehicles, we supply and fit Chapter 8 compliant reflective markings and chevrons. These meet legal requirements for vehicles working on or near the road.

Why Signwrite Your Van?


The short answer is that it is one of the most cost-effective forms of advertising available to a small business.

Once your van graphics are fitted, they work continuously without any ongoing spend. Unlike social media ads or Google campaigns that stop the moment the budget runs out, a well-fitted set of van signs keeps delivering impressions every time the vehicle is parked outside a job, driving through town or sitting in traffic.

Across a five to seven year lifespan, the cost per impression from vehicle signwriting is extremely low compared with most other advertising channels. It also builds trust. A clearly branded van looks more professional than an unmarked one, and that matters when a potential customer is deciding who to call.

FREQUENTLY
ASKED
QUESTIONS

How much does it cost to sign write a van in Brighton?

Costs vary depending on the vehicle size, surface coverage and design complexity. Cut vinyl lettering is the most affordable option and can start from a few hundred pounds for a small van. Printed graphics and part wraps are priced higher based on the artwork and coverage involved. We provide itemised quotes after a free consultation, so you know exactly what you are paying for. For more detail, see our van sign writing cost guide.

How long does van signwriting take?

Most jobs are completed within five to ten working days from design approval. Sim pler vinyl lettering jobs can be quicker. For fleet projects or complex printed wraps, allow a little more time. We will always give you a realistic timeline upfront.

Can you sign write a leased or financed van?

Yes. Cut vinyl and printed graphics can be removed cleanly without damaging the paintwork underneath, which makes them suitable for leased vehicles. Magnetic signs are another option if you need a fully removable solution. It is always worth checking the terms of your lease, but in most cases vehicle signwriting is straightforward to arrange and reverse.

Does van signwriting affect my insurance?

In most cases, no. Many insurers treat it as a neutral modification, and some will actually reduce premiums for clearly identified commercial vehicles because they are less attractive to thieves. We recommend checking with your insurer directly, as policies vary. In our experience, it is rarely an obstacle.

How long does vehicle signwriting last?

Quality vinyl graphics typically last five to seven years with normal use. Longevity depends on exposure to sun and weather, and how well the vehicle is maintained. We use durable materials rated for outdoor and automotive use. When it is time to remove or replace the graphics, the process is clean and straightforward.

Do you cover my area in Sussex?

We are based in Brighton and regularly work across Hove, Portslade, Shoreham, Worthing, Lewes, Eastbourne and the wider East and West Sussex area. For fleet jobs, we can discuss logistics for larger or more dispersed operations.
