WRAP OR LETTERING?
the straight answer.
Full wraps look spectacular and cost like it. For most working vans, lettering and part graphics deliver the calls at a fraction of the price.
What each one actually is
A full wrap re-skins the entire van — every panel, often a colour change — a big fabrication and fitting job priced accordingly. Lettering and part graphics put your name, trade, number and logo where people look, on the van’s own colour.
The honest comparison
Who actually needs a wrap
Colour-change projects, promo vehicles where the van IS the campaign, and brands where the visual is the product. If that is you, a wrap specialist is the right call — we will say so to your face. We do not sell wraps; we sell the thing most vans actually need.
What we would put on your van
Strong rear doors (the traffic audience), clear side lettering at reading height, logo where it fits, phone number big. That recipe has branded thousands of UK trade vans because it works. Kit from £69 or fitted in Manchester.
Straight answers
Why don’t you sell wraps?
Because for our customers — trades and small fleets — lettering and part graphics deliver more calls per pound, and we would rather be excellent at that than mediocre at everything.
Is a part wrap a compromise?
A good part-graphics layout gives most of the wow at a fraction of the cost — colour blocking on the rear half is the classic move.
Can lettering go over a wrapped van?
Yes — cut vinyl applies over a sound wrap fine.
