Vehicle Graphics in Basingstoke

What We Do

We apply vehicle graphics to pretty much anything with wheels. Our most common work covers:

• Vans — the bread and butter. Cut vinyl lettering, printed panel graphics, partial and full wraps for every make and size, from a Berlingo to a Sprinter.
• Cars and company vehicles — logos, contact details, and livery for sales reps, management cars, and company fleets. See our car sign writing service.
• Lorries and HGVs — large-format printed graphics and reflective lettering for trailers, curtain-siders, and rigid lorries. More on lorry sign writing here.
• Fleet graphics — consistent livery across multiple vehicles with a single point of contact, a master template, and a controlled rollout schedule.
• Motorbikes and specialist vehicles — if it moves and has a paintable surface, we can brand it.
• Chapter 8 chevrons — high-visibility rear-chevron kits for highways maintenance, utility, and local authority vehicles. Chapter 8 chevron fitting

How It Works

1. Consultation and design. Tell us what you’re after — even a rough brief is fine. Our in-house designer will produce a free visual on a scaled 2D template of your exact vehicle, usually within a few days. You can change as much as you like before anything goes to print.

2. Site survey (at no extra cost). For fleet projects, large-format installations, or anything where getting the measurements exactly right matters, we’ll come to you. Site surveys are included — we’d rather spend an hour at your premises than waste your time or ours on a remount.

3. Production. Once the design is signed off, we print and cut everything in-house on our HP Latex 365 wide-format printer. For fleet projects, we use our Einstar 3D handheld scanner to build precise panel templates directly from your vehicles.

4. Installation. We fit at our Basingstoke workshop, or we can come to your site or depot. Our fitters are fully trained and insured. Every job is checked before it leaves.

Materials We Use

We spec materials from 3M, Hexis, and Avery Dennison — the three brands that dominate professional vehicle graphics for a reason.

• 3M — our go-to for long-term commercial applications and fleet work.
• Hexis — strong choice for colour-change wraps and premium finishes (matte, satin, chrome effects).
• Avery Dennison — consistently good for printed graphics, particularly on vehicles that need a clean, controlled removal down the line.

All printed graphics are laminated for UV and abrasion resistance. We’ll tell you which combination suits your vehicle, your expected lifespan, and your budget.

What Vehicle Graphics Cost

• Basic sign writing (cut vinyl, logo and contact details on a medium van): from around £200–£350 + VAT.

Why Doodle Signs?

Over 20 years in the trade. Matt, who runs Doodle Signs, has been doing this since before “vehicle wrap” was even a common phrase. That experience shows in the small things — knowing which vinyls will hold on a high-use commercial vehicle, which panel transitions to plan around, where designs tend to fail on certain van models.

We’re a real workshop, not a sales office. Everything is produced on-site at our Basingstoke premises. When you call, you’re talking to the people who will actually be fitting your vehicle.

Full in-house production. We print on our own HP Latex 365 wide-format printer and cut in-house. For fleet clients, we use an Einstar 3D scanner to template vehicles precisely.

Owner-led from start to finish. You’ll deal with the same people throughout. No handoffs, no miscommunications between sales and production.

Chapter 8 experience. We’re one of a small number of local sign makers with hands-on Chapter 8 chevron installation experience.

Areas We Cover

We’re based in Basingstoke and most of our work comes from within a 30-mile radius. We regularly fit vehicles for clients in Tadley, Hook, Whitchurch, Overton, Old Basing, Chineham, and Kingsclere. We also travel further out to Andover, Newbury, Winchester, Alton, and Reading for fleet projects and larger jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to put graphics on my van?
Basic cut vinyl lettering starts from around £200–£350 + VAT. Printed graphics with more coverage typically run £350–£600 + VAT. Full or partial wraps cost more. We’ll always give you a fixed quote before any work starts.

How long does van sign writing take?
Most standard jobs take a half day to a full day at our workshop. Lead time from order to fitting is typically one to two weeks.

How long do vehicle graphics last?
Properly applied cast vinyl graphics using 3M, Hexis, or Avery Dennison materials will typically last five to seven years outdoors.

Will graphics damage my paintwork when removed?
Not if they’re removed correctly. Quality cast vinyl is designed to come off cleanly without lifting paint, provided the underlying paintwork was in good condition.

Do you come to me, or do I bring the van to you?
Either works. Most customers bring their vehicle to our Basingstoke workshop. For fleet jobs or customers further afield, we’re happy to travel. We charge a per-mile travel fee which we include in your quote upfront.

Are vehicle graphics tax-deductible for businesses?
Generally yes — vehicle graphics that promote your business are typically treated as a deductible advertising expense. Check with your accountant for your specific situation.
