Vehicle & Van Signage
Your fleet is a moving billboard. Use it properly.
A liveried van parked on a job or moving through traffic gets seen thousands of times a day for free. The problem most fleet operators face isn't wanting the branding — it's getting a whole fleet wrapped without losing multiple vehicles off the road at once. We default to scheduling one or two vans through the workshop at a time, so the rest of your fleet keeps running.
From a single cut-vinyl logo job to a twelve-van fleet re-livery with Chapter 8 chevrons on the works vehicles, it's the same in-house design, template and install team throughout.

What's covered
Full wraps
Complete vehicle coverage in printed, laminated vinyl — maximum branding, best durability.
Partial wraps
Defined panel coverage — bonnet, doors, rear — for a strong look at a lower cost.
Cut vinyl
Individually cut lettering and logos applied direct to paintwork, the simplest branding option.
Fleet livery
Consistent branding rolled out across mixed fleets, scheduled to keep vans on the road.
Magnetic signs
Removable magnetic door panels for hire vans and temporary contract vehicles.
Chapter 8 chevrons
Rear conspicuity chevron panels to Chapter 8 spec for works and highway vehicles.
Wrap types compared
| Type | Coverage | Workshop time |
|---|---|---|
| Cut vinyl | Logo & text only | 1 day |
| Partial wrap | Defined panels | 1–2 days |
| Full wrap | Entire vehicle | 2–3 days |
How fleet jobs run
01
Survey the fleet
Panel dimensions taken per vehicle, not a generic template — cut lines sit clean around shuts and trim.
02
Design & CAD
Livery proofed across the whole fleet for consistency, signed off before printing starts.
03
Print & wrap
Printed and laminated in-house, one or two vans scheduled through at a time.
04
QC & handback
Every panel checked for lift and alignment before the van goes back on the road.
Chapter 8 & fleet compliance
Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual sets out rear conspicuity marking requirements for certain vehicle categories working on or near the highway — works vehicles, highway maintenance fleets and specific HGV operations. Panel colour combination and coverage percentage depend on vehicle type and the traffic management plan the vehicle operates under; we'll confirm the correct spec against your vehicle and use case before manufacture.

Vehicle & van signage FAQs
What's the difference between a full wrap, partial wrap and cut vinyl?
Cut vinyl is individually cut lettering and logos applied directly to the van's paintwork — the cheapest option for basic branding. A partial wrap covers defined panels (bonnet, doors, rear) with printed graphics. A full wrap covers the entire vehicle in printed and laminated vinyl for maximum coverage and durability.
Do you collect vehicles for wrapping, or come to our depot?
Both are possible depending on the job — smaller cut vinyl and single-vehicle jobs are often easiest brought to our workshop, while fleet wrap projects can be scheduled at your depot or a nearby site to minimise vehicle downtime and driver disruption.
Is vehicle signage legally required for commercial vehicles in the UK?
General branding isn't a legal requirement, but certain vehicle categories do have mandatory markings — Chapter 8 conspicuity panels for specific works vehicles, and operator licence details for some HGV operations. We'll flag any compliance-driven markings relevant to your fleet during the quote.
Can you wrap a van a different colour entirely, not just add branding?
Yes — a full colour-change wrap covers the entire body panel in a solid or finish-effect vinyl (matte, satin, gloss) rather than a printed design, effectively changing the vehicle's colour without a respray, and remains fully removable at lease-end or resale.
Do you offer a fleet maintenance or re-livery schedule?
For fleets running multiple vehicles, we can set up a rolling schedule so vans are refreshed or re-branded on a rotation rather than waiting until a whole fleet looks dated at once — useful when new vehicles are added gradually or livery updates periodically.
How much does van signage cost?
It depends on coverage (cut vinyl, partial wrap or full wrap), van size and design complexity, and whether you're doing a single van or a fleet. Call us with your vehicle details and we'll talk through realistic pricing, then confirm exact figures against your spec.
How long does a van take off the road to be wrapped?
A full wrap typically needs two to three working days in the workshop; a partial wrap or cut vinyl job is usually a single day. For fleets, we schedule one or two vehicles at a time by default so the rest of your fleet keeps running.
What are Chapter 8 chevrons and when are they required?
Chapter 8 chevron markings are the red and yellow (or red and white) rear conspicuity panels required on certain vehicles working on or near the highway — commonly HGVs, works vehicles and highway maintenance fleets. Spec (colour combination, coverage percentage) depends on vehicle type and the site's traffic management plan.
Will a wrap damage the van's original paintwork?
No, when applied and removed correctly by a trained installer using cast vinyl. The wrap can actually protect the paint underneath from minor stone chips and UV fading during the time it's applied. Damage risk comes from poor-quality vinyl or rushed removal, not the process itself.
Can you wrap a leased vehicle?
Yes — vinyl wraps and cut graphics are fully removable without damaging factory paintwork, which is exactly why leased fleets use them instead of paint. Always check your lease terms for any specific sign-off needed on exterior modifications before booking the job.
How long does a vehicle wrap last?
A quality cast vinyl wrap with laminate protection typically lasts five to seven years under normal daily-use conditions before colour or gloss noticeably fades, though vehicles doing very high mileage or parked outdoors in direct sun year-round may see that shorten somewhat.
Do you supply magnetic signs for temporary or hire vehicles?
Yes — magnetic door panels are a common choice for hire vans, temporary contract vehicles or businesses that swap branding between multiple vans. They go on and come off in seconds without any adhesive residue, though they're less durable long-term than vinyl for permanent fleet branding.
Can you design fleet livery from scratch, or do we need existing branding?
Both work — we can design a full fleet livery concept from a brand brief, or apply your existing brand guidelines to vehicle templates. Fleet livery design usually sits alongside our wider Design service so it's consistent with your signage and print branding too.
