What's the difference between a wrap and sign writing?

A wrap covers the whole vehicle and changes its colour entirely; sign writing applies graphics and lettering over the vehicle's existing colour. A wrap is the bigger, more expensive job and the bigger statement. A lot of trades get more from sharp sign writing done well, so we'll be straight about which one your vehicle actually needs. We do both.

How long does a wrap last?

A properly printed, laminated and fitted wrap holds up for years of daily use - the laminate protects it from UV and washing, and fitting it flat with no lifting edges is what makes it last. Cheap, unlaminated vinyl fitted in a rush is what peels by the first winter.

Vehicle wraps
in Newport.

Cover the whole vehicle - a full printed wrap or a colour change, designed, printed and fitted to sit flat and last.

Vehicle wraps in Newport, about 6 miles south of the workshop, roughly 15 minutes down the A4042 and M4. A wrap covers the entire vehicle in printed or coloured vinyl, so it changes the colour completely - a full brand takeover across every panel, or a gloss, matte or satin colour change. We design and print the graphics in-house in the Cwmbran and Pontypool area, and our install partner SlickSkins fits them flat, edge to edge, with no bubbles or lifting edges. It's a bigger job than sign writing and a bigger statement - and if all you actually need is your name, number and logo on the van, we'll say so. (For graphics over your existing colour, see vehicle sign writing.)

What we makeVehicle wraps & colour change

Full printed wraps.

printed, laminated and wrapped over every panel and curve so the whole vehicle carries the brand, fitted flat with no bubbles or lifting edges.

Colour change.

gloss, matte, satin or textured vinyl over the whole vehicle for a clean colour change - reversible, and kinder to the paint underneath than a respray.

Fleet wraps.

one printed scheme rolled out across the fleet so every vehicle is a full brand takeover, consistent from the first van to the last.

In NewportNewport

Newport is Gwent's city and the second-biggest in Wales, and it runs on more than one engine. There is the city centre and Commercial Street, Friars Walk and the market; the industrial and logistics belt strung along the M4 from junction 24 to 28 - Queensway Meadows, Leeway, Spytty, Langstone and Celtic Business Park - where the couriers, distributors and trades cluster; and the docks and steel heritage down by the Usk and the Transporter Bridge. For a sign maker that means a lot of vans and fleets that live on the road, unit signage out on the estates, and shopfronts fighting for footfall in a centre reshaped by Friars Walk and the university campus.

We build for that mix - a courier or trade firm off the M4 that needs a fleet wrapped the same and a sign over the unit, or a shop or cafe in the centre, Maindee or Caerleon that needs a frontage that stops people. We are straight that the workshop is in Torfaen, not Newport, but fifteen minutes up the road means we see the vehicle, measure the frontage and fit it in person rather than quoting blind off a photo. From Bettws and Malpas across to Ringland, Caerleon and out to Magor, a van parked outside a Newport job is the cheapest advertising you will ever run, so it should look like you mean it.
