VINYL LETTERING FOR VEHICLES
If
you go to a sign maker for vehicle signage, you can expect a charge,
a transit van for example will cost between £200 and £600 and they
will normally require your van for at least one day, possibly longer.

DESIGN TIPS FOR LETTERING
Remember that more often than not your livery is
being read whilst
your vehicle is in motion, so clear, readable text is recommended.
It is also recommended to use a bolder and/or different
font or a
different colour to highlight your name or name of the business.
Vehicles are not always white, so choose
colours that will contrast well against the background colour.
If the vehicle is a dark colour, say transit blue, and your corporate
colour is blue then choose either a lighter or darker blue and
highlight your name with either a black or white outline.
It is always better where possible to contain
your design within the panels of the vehicle, using the left panel
for your name and the right for a brief description of your services.
Sometimes for a variety of reasons this is not possible.
Bare in mind you will need a sharp knife (scalpel)
to cut through the lettering
at door gaps
and bodywork joins after
application.
Also application is a bit more tricky when
applying over raised or recessed panel edges.
Telephone numbers work well when separated,
utilising the panel lower down.
LETTERING SIZE
It is a good idea to draw a rough sketch of
both sides, rear and front of the vehicle
filling in the panel sizes
and available space sizes first,
then decide what text you want and
where.
A good rule of thumb is the height of the letter multiplied by the amount of
letters in the line will be approximately equal to the length of the line.
Of course this varies, depending on the font used, but don’t worry when
ordering, you can specify the length and we will adjust accordingly.
GRAPHICS AND LOGO’S
We can reproduce any graphic or logo to your specified
size
providing you send us by e-mail or post suitable artwork.
There
will be a one off setup charge for this, depending on the quality of
artwork
and the complexity of the design. We will quote you separately
for this on receipt of artwork.
We will keep your design on file and
give you a file number that you can quote
for future reordering, thus
avoiding this charge again.
