A Straightforward Pricing Guide for Trades & Fleets
One of the most common questions we get is:
“How much does it cost to brand a van?”
It’s a fair question, especially if you’re investing in your business and want clarity upfront.
The honest answer is: it depends on what level of branding you want.
But here’s a realistic breakdown of what you can expect.
Cut Vinyl Lettering – Small Van From £299 + VAT
This is the most straightforward and cost-effective option.
Typically includes: Company name, phone number, basic logo + simple service list.
Cut vinyl lettering is ideal for:
Sole traders, Start-ups, Businesses wanting clean, minimal signage.
It’s a great entry point if you want your van to look professional without going for a full design transformation.
Flooded Panel Graphics – From £349.00 + VAT
Flooded panels are one of the most popular options for trades businesses looking to increase visibility without committing to a full wrap.
Instead of applying graphics across the entire vehicle, selected panels (usually the side and rear sections) are fully “flooded” with printed vinyl in your brand colour. Your logo, contact details and key services are then applied over the top. The result is bold, clean and highly visible — without the cost of wrapping the whole van.
Flooded panels are ideal for:
- Trades wanting to stand out on busy streets
- Businesses upgrading from basic lettering
- Companies adding additional vans and wanting consistency
- Firms that want a stronger visual presence without going full wrap
Visually, it creates a much stronger impact than simple cut vinyl, especially from a distance. Your van becomes instantly recognisable rather than just readable up close. It’s also a smart step for growing businesses. Many companies move from lettering → flooded panels →partial or full wrap as they expand.
If you want your van to feel more established, more intentional and more competitive locally — without jumping straight to a full wrap — flooded panels are often the sweet spot.
Partial Wrap – From £799 + VAT
A partial wrap gives your van far more presence.
This usually includes: Printed graphics, branded panels, larger coverage areas, + stronger visual impact.
This option works well for:
Growing trades businesses, companies competing aggressively in local areas, and businesses wanting to look more established. At this level, your van stops being “just signage” and starts acting as a marketing tool.
Full Wrap – From £1749.00 + VAT
A full wrap completely transforms the vehicle.
This gives you: Maximum visibility, full colour coverage, high-impact design + complete brand consistency.
Full wraps are often chosen by:
Multi-vehicle fleets, businesses repositioning or rebranding, companies wanting to dominate their local area. It’s the premium option, but also the most powerful visually.
Why Prices Can Vary
Even within those “from” prices, final costs can vary based on:
Vehicle size (small van vs LWB high roof)
Design complexity
Material choice
Existing graphics removal
Fleet consistency requirements
That’s why pricing typically starts at a base level and adjusts depending on coverage and detail.
Is Van Branding Worth It?
Yes. It is a one-time investment that works every day your vehicles are on the road.
For many trades businesses, one additional job secured from increased visibility can cover the initial cost. After that, it continues building brand recognition for years.
