Sector group · 4 vehicle types
Logistics & transport vehicle graphics.
Delivery vans, removals lorries, curtainsiders, coaches and minibuses. Big, flat panels that are seen by thousands of people a week.
Transport vehicle graphics are seen by more people than almost any other business livery, so they need a short, bold message that stays readable at speed and survives high mileage.
Graphics for vehicles that never stop moving.
Transport vehicles cover more ground than almost any other business vehicle, so the graphics are seen by more people. They also face more wear: high mileage, motorway grime, frequent washing and, for coaches and minibuses, constant passenger use. The design has to stay clear at speed and survive the routine.
Large vehicles offer large, flat panels. A Luton box or a lorry body can carry a bold brand, but size alone does not make it effective. Long lines of text are hard to read on a moving vehicle; a strong name, one line about the service and a web address usually work better than a full list of destinations.
Many operators in this group run more than one vehicle, and some carry passengers, so there are often rules to check about markings, operator details or licensing. Graphics should be planned to sit alongside whatever your licensing authority or client requires. Our fleet graphics and taxi & private hire pages cover two related cases.

Making transport vehicle graphics readable at speed
Lorry graphics on large flat panels
A lorry body gives you a huge canvas, but that is a reason for restraint. Lorry graphics work best with a bold name, one line about the service and a web address, sized for drivers who see them for a few seconds. Plan space for operator details and fleet numbers from the start, and send body measurements with your photos so the layout scales properly.
Courier van graphics for multi-drop work
Multi-drop vans stop on every street, often briefly, so the rear doors and kerb side get the most attention. Courier van graphics can usually start from our published van packages, with your name and web address on the sides and a clear rear. If you run several vans, keep the layout identical so customers recognise any of them at the door.
Coach wraps and passenger vehicles
Coaches and minibuses carry passengers, so windows matter as much as panels. Coach wraps can use one-way vision film on rear windows to continue the design while keeping the view out for passengers. We have wrapped vehicles up to a 56-seater coach; passenger vehicles are quoted individually and planned around any markings your licensing authority requires.
Measure, photograph and send us the vehicle list, including any operator markings you need, and we will quote transport vehicle graphics to fit your schedule. Request a quote.
Options and prices.
Vans from packages · large vehicles quoted
Scale the brand to the vehicle.
Courier and small removals vans can start with our published van packages. Lorries, trailers, coaches and minibuses vary so much in size and shape that they are quoted individually from photographs and dimensions.
Our printers produce graphics roughly 1.5m wide by up to 50m long, so long bodies are printed in a few large panels rather than many small ones. Every price below is “from” and + VAT, and your quote confirms it.

Practical points for transport operators.
Check what must be shown. Passenger vehicles, goods vehicles and licensed hire vehicles can all carry requirements about markings, operator details or signs. Check the current rules with your licensing authority or the relevant agency before finalising artwork, and send us any required wording.
Windows need care. One-way vision film is often used on bus and coach rear windows. Check what is permitted on windows the driver needs to see through before choosing coverage.
Curtains are different. Curtainsides flex, slide and are re-tensioned. Tell us the curtain type and we will advise whether vinyl is suitable or whether printed curtains from your curtain supplier are the better route.
Plan for repairs. Busy vehicles get scraped. Keep the approved artwork on file so a damaged panel can be reprinted to match.
From one vehicle to the whole fleet.
Mock-up and approve.
We produce a mock-up on your vehicle so you can see the scale before anything is printed, including any required markings you supply.
Print in large panels.
Artwork is printed on our 8-colour, 1440dpi printers and finished in Norwich, using 3M and Metamark materials.
Fit around your schedule.
Agree fitting dates that keep vehicles earning. Ask about courtesy vehicles for vans, or on-site fitting for larger vehicles.
What to send us.
- Vehicle types, makes and models, and how many of each.
- Photographs of each side and the rear, plus body dimensions for boxes, curtainsiders and trailers.
- Any operator, licensing or passenger information you must display, in approved wording.
- Brand guidelines and logo files, or a note if you need our design team.
- How long each vehicle can be off the road, and when.

Your questions. Answered.
Can you wrap a full-size coach?
Yes. Our range goes up to a full colour-change wrap on a 56-seater coach. Send photographs and the make and model, and we will quote for your artwork.
What should go on a delivery van?
A clear brand name, one line about the service and a web address. Keep the phone number on the rear doors, where drivers behind you have time to read it.
Do you put graphics on trailers?
Yes, including box trailers. Send dimensions and photographs of each side so we can plan the panels.
Do I need to show operator or licence details?
That depends on the vehicle and how it is used. Check the current rules with your licensing authority or the relevant agency, then send us the wording to include.
How are prices worked out for lorries and coaches?
Large vehicles are quoted individually from the size of the body, the coverage and the artwork. Van packages start from £149 + VAT; your quote confirms any price.
