Van Signs That Win You Work: Magnetic Signs, Vinyl Sign Writing and Van Graphics

Van signs are any signs, lettering or graphics that put your business details on your vehicle. That could be a pair of magnetic signs you pop on the doors, cut vinyl lettering applied to the panels, or full-colour van graphics that cover a big part of the van.

They all do the same job: tell people who you are, what you do and how to reach you. The right type of van signage depends on your budget, how long you'll keep the van and whether you also use it as your personal vehicle.

Our Van Sign Options

Magnetic Van Signs

Magnetic van signs give you removable branding for suitable flat steel panels. They can suit a van used for work and personal trips, subject to your lease or vehicle-use policy. See our magnetic van signs page for the options, fit checks and care guidance.

Send us your van make, model, panel measurements and a photo. We’ll confirm a suitable size, shape and material for your quote.

Vinyl Van Sign Writing

Vinyl van sign writing gives your vehicle a lasting, polished look. Your name, trade, number and website can be cut from vinyl and applied to suitable panels. The grade, finish and expected service life depend on the specification and how the vehicle is used.

Tell us whether you need supply only, self-apply lettering or fitting, and where the van is based. We’ll confirm the available options in your quote.

Printed Van Graphics

Want more than lettering? Full-colour printed van graphics let you add photos, gradients and bold designs to suitable doors, rear panels or side panels. Send us the coverage you have in mind and we’ll confirm what can be supplied.

Van Logos and Van Stickers

Already have a logo? Send it with a photo of your van and we’ll discuss a clear, readable layout for the available panels. If you need help with a new logo or design, ask us about the service and any design costs before ordering.

Fleet Van Signs

Running more than one vehicle? We make matching fleet van signs so every van, car and trailer looks the same. Consistent commercial vehicle signage makes a small business look bigger and helps people recognise you instantly.

Magnetic Van Signs or Vinyl Sign Writing?

Both work well. The right choice comes down to how you use your van.

Van Sign Writing Ideas That Actually Get Calls

The best van sign writing isn't the busiest. It's the one people can read at 30mph. Here's what works.

• Three things, big and clear: Your business name, what you do, and your phone number. That's it. Add your website if there's room.

• Say what you do in plain words: "Plumbing and Heating" beats a clever name nobody understands.

• Contrast is king: Dark lettering on a white van, or white or yellow on a dark van. Cool van sign writing still has to be readable.

• Use the back doors: The car behind you in traffic has nothing to do but read. Put your number there.

• White van sign writing ideas: A bold colour band along the bottom, a big logo on the doors and clean lettering on the sides makes a plain white van look sharp for very little money.

• Keep it consistent: Use the same colours and logo as your website, workwear, roller banners and premises signs so people recognise you everywhere.

No design yet? You don’t need a van signwriting template or an online designer. Send us a photo of your van and your details. We’ll discuss a readable layout, confirm any design costs and send a proof for your approval.

How Much Do Van Signs Cost?

Van signage prices depend on a few simple things:

• Type: magnetic panels, vinyl lettering and printed graphics use different materials and production methods.

• Size and coverage: Two door signs cost less than lettering on every panel.

• Design: let us know whether you have print-ready artwork or need help preparing a layout. We’ll confirm any design costs.

• Fitting: tell us whether you need supply only or help with installation. We’ll confirm the options and costs.

Looking for cheap van signs that still look professional? Magnetic signs or simple cut vinyl lettering give you the most for your money. Tell us your van and what you'd like, and we'll give you a clear, no-obligation price.

Caring for Your Van Signs

• Magnetic signs: follow the care guidance supplied with your signs. Remove them regularly to clean and dry the vehicle panel and the back of the magnet, store them flat, and remove them before a car wash.

• Vinyl sign writing: Hand wash where you can, and don't point a pressure washer straight at the edges.

• Removing vinyl: ask us about the best removal method for your vinyl and paintwork before you start, especially on repainted or damaged panels.
