How Much Does Van Signage Cost? (UK Prices 2026)

If you have just bought a van and want your name on the side, the first question is always the same: what will it cost? Van signage covers everything from a simple set of cut vinyl letters to a full printed wrap, and the price gap between them is wide, so it helps to know what you are actually buying.

Simple van lettering: £150 to £450

Cut vinyl lettering is your business name, phone number, website and a few service lines applied directly to the paintwork. It is the cheapest way to look professional and it suits tradespeople, mobile services and anyone who wants their contact details readable from a junction. Most vans are lettered in a single visit.

Lettering plus logo and graphics: £400 to £900

Add a printed logo, a colour flash along the side, or rear door graphics and you move into this bracket. This is the sweet spot for most small businesses because you get a branded look without the cost of covering the whole vehicle.

Part wrap: £900 to £1,800

A part wrap covers roughly a third to a half of the vehicle with printed vinyl, usually the lower panels, the bonnet or the rear. It gives the visual impact of a wrap for a fraction of the price and works well when your brand uses a strong colour or pattern.

Full wrap: £1,800 to £3,500

A full wrap covers every painted panel, so the van becomes your design rather than the manufacturer's colour. Prices depend on vehicle size (a small car van is far cheaper than a Luton or a long wheelbase high roof), how complex the curves are, and whether the roof and door shuts are included.

What changes the price

• Vehicle size and shape, deep corrugations and bumpers take longer to fit
• Whether the design is supplied print ready or needs designing from scratch
• Vinyl grade, cast vinyl lasts longer on curves than calendered film
• Laminate, a UV laminate protects print and adds life
• Fleet quantity, multiple identical vehicles cost less per van
• Removal of old graphics, which is charged separately if the van has previous signage

How long does it take

Lettering is usually a few hours. A part wrap is typically a day. A full wrap is one to two days depending on size, and the vehicle needs to be clean, dry and indoors at a stable temperature for the vinyl to bond properly.

Is it worth it

A signwritten van is one of the cheapest forms of advertising a business can buy because you pay once and it works every day for years. Even a modest lettering job puts your number in front of every driver and pedestrian on your route.
