🚐 DIY Van Sign Writing: Your Quick Guide

Have you been thinking about sign writing your van but don’t want to pay thousands for a full wrap? A DIY van sign writing kit could be the perfect answer. Here’s a quick guide to the most common questions people ask.

How long will DIY van signs last?

When you use high-quality exterior-grade vinyl, like the 7-year vinyl we use at Griffin Signs, your graphics can last 5–7 years. Just wash your van gently and avoid harsh cleaners to keep them looking sharp.

Will it damage my van’s paintwork?

No. In fact, vinyl can help protect your paint from UV fading. When it’s time for a change, the signs can be removed cleanly without leaving marks.

How much does van sign writing cost?

• Full wraps can cost between £2,000–£4,000.

• Partial wraps usually run £800–£1,500.

• DIY van sign writing kits from Griffin Signs start from a fraction of that price — and you’ll still get a professional look without the high bill.

• 
  

What’s included in a good van design?

Keep it simple:

• Business name and logo

• Clear contact details (phone, website, social media)

• A short, clear message — what you do and why call you
