A signwritten van parked on a street in Berry Hill for a day is seen by hundreds of people, most of whom live within a mile of it. That is extraordinarily well-targeted advertising, and it is a one-off cost.

The mistake almost everyone makes is treating it like a business card and cramming in everything: five services, three qualifications, a website, an email, a mobile, a landline and a Facebook icon. At forty miles an hour a driver reads about four words.

So we design for the actual viewing conditions: what you do, where you are, and one phone number, all readable from across a car park.

## What you get

### Designed for legibility at distance

Type sized for reading at speed, high contrast, and no detail that disappears at three metres.

### Four words, not forty

Trade, area, phone number. Everything else is noise on a moving vehicle.

### Supplied to the signwriter’s template

Correct vehicle template at the right scale, so what is fitted matches what you approved. Panels, doors and curves accounted for.

### Every side considered

Rear graphics are seen longest, at traffic lights, by the driver behind. That is the panel where the phone number belongs, and it is routinely the emptiest.

### Consistent across the fleet

One design adapted properly to each vehicle type rather than stretched to fit.

### Mocked up on the actual vehicle

You see it on your van, in your colours, before anything is cut.

## What belongs on a van, in order

- What you do — "Plumbing & Heating", in the largest type on the vehicle
- The phone number, second largest, on the rear as well as the sides
- Your business name and logo
- The area you cover, if it is not obvious from the name
- One or two accreditations that genuinely influence hiring — Gas Safe, NICEIC
- A website, small. Almost nobody types a URL from a moving van; they search the business name

## Wrap or lettering?

Cut vinyl lettering on a plain van is cheaper, quicker and — done well — often looks smarter. A full wrap costs considerably more and makes sense when the vehicle itself is part of the brand or the base colour is wrong.

For most trades, good lettering on a white van outperforms a mediocre full wrap and costs a fraction as much. We will say which we think fits before you commit.

## What affects the price

Starting price: From £75 (excluding VAT).

- Vehicle size and how many panels are covered
- Partial lettering versus a full wrap
- Fleet work, where one design is adapted across vehicle types
- Whether we supply artwork only or manage the fitting too

## Local context — Mansfield

Van livery is unusually effective in a town this size because the same vehicles are seen repeatedly by the same people. A van regularly parked around Mansfield Woodhouse becomes familiar within weeks, and familiarity is most of what local advertising is buying.

We know the local signwriters, what each is good at and roughly what they charge, which saves time and occasionally money.

## Also known as

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does van livery design cost?

From £75 for a small van lettering design, £150 for a larger vehicle or full wrap artwork, and less per vehicle for fleets. Fitting is separate and done by a signwriter.

### Do you fit the graphics?

No, we design them. We work with local fitters regularly and can recommend one, or supply artwork to whoever you already use.

### Should I put my website on the van?

Small, if at all. Nobody types a URL from a moving vehicle. A memorable business name they can search is more useful than a web address they cannot recall.

### What about a phone number on the rear?

Essential, and frequently missed. The rear is the panel people look at longest — sat behind you in traffic with time to read it.
