The Sussex Sign Company explains the pricing for vehicle wraps

Dependent upon your requirements, design sensibility, and time frame, the budget for a partial wrap on a small vehicle can cost from £500 to £1,200. A full wrap, van wrap then the price will start at around £1,200 for a small van and rise to a maximum of around £2,500.

Does it really take three days?
If you want a first class job done and we are fully wrapping your vehicle then yes, we do really need it for three days. After all, you don’t want the wrapping media lifting after just a few months do you? It takes a long time to clean your vehicle properly and take off all the items that need removing to be able to fully wrap your vehicle.

Can I take the wrap off when I need to sell the car?
All of our vehicle wraps are removable – this is a benefit of getting the vehicle wrapped. It also offers some protection against damage to the paintwork.

How can I be sure the material you use will last?
We have been wrapping and signwriting vehicles for over twenty years now, and have used pretty much every kind of vinyl there has been on the market. As a standard we only use 3M or Avery Dennison. These two manufacturers are regarded as two of the best vinyl manufacturers in the world today, and they also the most expensive. As a business we would rather explain why we are more expensive than our competitors than have to explain in six months why your vehicle wrap has failed.

Does the wrap last as long as the vehicle?
Our preferred vehicle wrapping media is either 3M or Avery Dennison which are widely regarded as the two best vehicle wrapping media companies in the world today, however the life of the wrap depends on many difference factors, not least, the condition of the vehicle prior to wrapping, how you keep your vehicle clean (what chemicals are used on it) and what part of the world the vehicle is kept. However, even when you take all the above into account, our vehicle wraps should comfortably last between 3-5 years.

How do I clean the vehicle?
The best way to clean your car is to wash it by hand, or better still get someone else to wash it for you J
All our vehicle wraps are laminated if it is a digital print, and if you have a solid colour change, then the material is colour fast. We would not recommend a jet wash or a mechanical car cleaner as the power of the jet wash can lift the edges of the vinyl on a power wash and the brushes can be abrasive to the material.

Do you guarantee your work?
All our work comes with an unconditional 12 month guarantee; however, manufacturer’s warranty on materials can come with up to 5 years, subject to various terms and conditions.

Is your company insured?
We hold Public Liability insurance of £10,000,000. We also hold a motor trade policy which covers our team members when they are driving your vehicle.

My vehicle has been repaired in the past, is this a problem?
As long as the vehicle has been repaired properly and the paintwork was keyed in properly and baked on, then this should not be a problem. However, if the repair job was not carried out properly or with regard to the manufacturer’s specifications, then this may cause a problem with adherence of the vinyl.

Do you wrap the door shuts?
In a word – no, all our wraps are kerbside wraps which means when the vehicle is viewed driving along the road or parked up, the vehicle is a different colour than the original colour. We do not advocate wrapping inside of the door shuts.

How much does an illuminated sign cost?

We look at the types and costs of illuminated signs for business premises, with sign manufacturing specialists The Sussex Sign Company.

Illuminating your shop sign can create additional impact for your business, whether you trade at night or not – not forgetting that it goes dark in the UK before 4pm during winter, so that’s effectively every high-street business!

If your business is located in an area of high traffic flow then illuminated signage can help your shop stand out, generating valuable awareness with passers-by. Nothing adds more impact to smart signage than the careful use of internal or external lighting.

Many town centres have restrictions on the kinds of signage allowed on premises, so always check with your local planning department before specifying and ordering signage.

A useful document to start with is the Government-produced “Outdoor advertisements and signs: a guide for advertisers”, but local planning rules will nearly always impose restrictions specific to individual towns, or even individual streets and buildings. Illumination is one feature which is occasionally ruled out by planners.

Externally illuminated signs

External illumination is usually cheaper than internal illumination and does have the advantage of giving more options in terms of shapes and materials when creating the sign itself.

LED floodlights– these can be used when attaching lights to the sign itself is not an option or not desirable; ground-mounted signs, for example, which can be lit from below. Floodlights cost around £130 + VAT and can come in a range of colours.
Overhead troughlight illumination- provides a continuous ‘wash’ of light over a sign with the added benefit of providing ambient lighting to the front of your premises. Also enhances the 3D effect of any raised lettering in the signage. Cost is around £60 + vat per linear metre.
Overhead spotlights– these offer an elegant design which may be more suitable for some businesses or locations. Multiple lights will be required to illuminate the sign at a cost of around £90 + vat each.

Internally illuminated signs

Internally illuminated signs are essentially light-boxes with the lighting (fluorescent tubing or, more commonly these days, LED modules) contained within the structure and the business’s graphics applied to the front and sides, providing “through panel illumination”.

Internally illuminated signs vary greatly in size and need to be quoted on an individual basis, however as a guide price:

6m shopfront fascia sign – around £2000 plus vat (including installation)
900mm x 600mm projecting sign – around £400 plus vat

When built-up opaque letters or logos are combined with internal LED illumination, a variety of “halo” illumination effects can be produced to add clarity and visual impact to the sign. Halo illuminated signs also help to pick out the detail of the wall surface behind the sign to create attractive light and shadow effects.

Get your charity noticed…

Promoting your charity can be hard enough, so many charities nowadays have chuggers, can shakers, high street shops, newspaper advertising, radio and television advertising such as Comic Relief, Sport Relief, BBC Children in Need, Text Santa and that’s only touching the surface.

The Professionalism of charities is in the news more and more these days and it has to be said, they are all for good causes, every single one of them. However, if you are a charity, how do you get exposure to hundreds of thousands of people day in day out, time and time again. It is a minefield, and as a charity, you need to justify spending your hard donated and earned money wisely. Negative publicity can cost you thousands in cash, let alone what it does to your credibility.

If you put an advertisement in a newspaper today, it is tomorrow’s fish and chip wrapper. Continuous radio advertising becomes a bit like wallpaper, hangs around in the background and is easily dismissed, and television is prohibitively expensive. Charity shops require staff and chuggers have a bad reputation. It has always been a horrendous task trying to get the message ‘out there’ to promote your charity in a good light and to incentivise people to want to support your work.

Sign-writing or wrapping your vehicles can promote your chosen charity or organisation to thousands of people every single day. In fact, professional marketers say that vehicle signwriting and vehicle wrapping is pound for pound, penny for penny, the most cost-effective method of advertising any company.

If your car wrap costs you £1400 and you keep the vehicle for four years, then the cost of your car wrap is only £6.70 per week or to put it another way 96p per day, less than the cost of a skinny latte and a lot cheaper than any other advertising you could possibly do for your charity. Can you imagine how many people will have seen you advertisement over the four years!

Take a look at the recent vehicles we have wrapped for the Cats Protection League. I am sure you will agree they look fantastic and a brilliant advertisement for the charity, and much more effective than chugging.

So what exactly are Halo Illuminated letters.

Internally illuminated halo letters can have an enormous amount of different effects depending on the products used and the type of manufacture. When stainless steel or powder coated aluminium built up letters or built up logos are combined with internal illumination, it creates a halo effect on the back tray, especially when combined using the latest LED technology.

A number of different effects can be produced by using fret cut, push through acrylic letters combined with digital print and or translucent vinyl. Furthermore, raised locators or snap fix (simple fix) can be applied to solid built up letters which allow the light to appear from behind the letter or logo creating a dynamic halo illuminated effect on the letters.

Halo illumination creates a glow of light around either a built-up powder coated stainless steel letter, a powder coated aluminium letter or an acrylic letter, as LEDs are positioned to shine out from the reverse of the letter.

Used on their own or together with a face lit effect, halo illuminated letters add a magic to a sign project, whether fixed to a sign tray aluminium panel, fascia or letters installed individually. When added to a letter with a non-illuminated face, halo illumination brings definition to the letter and is often selected for signage with a shallow depth.

Halo illuminated letters are very often used with white LEDs which produce a warm glow. The Sussex Sign Company’s built-up metal and acrylic letters are manufactured in our workshops where LEDs are fitted by our experienced installation team.

This type of signage works extremely well for hotels, spas, restaurants, pubs, clubs, jewelers and other leisure facilities. There are other types of halo illuminated letters which pick out the detail of the wall surface, such as painted plaster and monocouche cladding, to create attractive light and shadow effects.

Once manufactured, our halo illuminated letters can be secured to a sign tray panel or other fixing system or supplied individually for mounting as required.
