Vehicle Graphics & Signwriting
A branded vehicle is one of the most effective forms of local advertising available to a small business. It works while you drive, while you're parked on site, and while the vehicle sits outside your premises — generating local impressions without any recurring cost. Somerset Printing designs, produces, and installs vehicle graphics for vans, cars, trucks, and trailers across Somerset.
We handle everything from simple decal packs and door graphics to partial wraps and full vehicle wraps. Our vehicle graphic service is end-to-end: we work with you on the design, produce the vinyl graphics on a wide-format printer, and install them to a professional standard using cast vinyl films from leading manufacturers.
We work with sole traders who want a single van sign-written, and with fleet operators who need consistent branding across multiple vehicles. Every vehicle is measured before production so that graphics fit the contours correctly — no guesswork, no approximated sizing.
Based in Highbridge, we serve businesses across Somerset including Burnham-on-Sea and Bridgwater. Vehicle graphics are our most enquired-about service — get in touch with your vehicle make, model, and year and we'll come back with a quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will vehicle graphics damage my van's paintwork?
Applied correctly and removed carefully, cast vinyl graphics should not damage factory paintwork in good condition. Older or re-sprayed paint can be more unpredictable — we'll advise if we have concerns on inspection.
Can I have graphics removed later?
Yes. Cast vinyl can be removed without damaging sound paintwork, though some heat application is usually needed. We offer a removal service and can supply the vehicle clean and ready for re-wrapping or resale.
How long does a vehicle wrap last?
A full wrap using cast vinyl typically lasts 5–7 years in UK conditions. Partial wraps and decals last similarly. Sun exposure and vehicle washing habits affect longevity.
Do I need to bring my vehicle to you?
Yes — vehicles need to be with us for installation. We measure the vehicle before producing graphics, so we'll usually ask you to bring it in twice: once for measuring and once for fitting.
Can you match my existing van branding to add a second vehicle?
Yes, if you have the original design files. If not, we can re-create the design from photographs or existing printed material and match it as closely as possible.
