THE BRIEF

Reflective & High Visibility Vehicle Graphics

Reflective vinyl graphics are a great tool for staying visible on the road and when on site, both at night and during daylight hours. Utilising bright colours and reflective vinyl helps to increase visibility, promoting your brand as well as keeping you safer.

Vehicle graphics are well known to be one of the most cost effective and powerful forms of advertising as they give you the ability to take your branding with you on the move. Reflective and high visibility graphics can be used to enhance your vehicle in this format too, using it to highly areas of your logo, or the whole vehicle! However, reflective graphics are most often used for emergency vehicle, HGV's and safety vehicle so they are easily noticeable.

For Bigfoot, it was a case of removing some old and worn graphics, and replacing them with a fresh new set. As you can see in the images and the artwork proof (right) our Graphic Design Studio are able to illustrate exactly how the new graphics will look on the vehicle, leaving out any that are to remain on the vehicle.

THE SOLUTION

Using Reflective Vehicle Vinyl for Branding and Visibility

When it comes to installing reflective vehicle vinyls, there are some rules to follow to make sure you are in line with current regulations for their usage. For example, red is the only colour typically allowed on the back of vehicles, whilst white is recommended for the front - much like the lights on your car, it lets people know which end of your vehicle is in their path! This however is very much vehicle and service dependent. Emergency Services vehicle will typically be in yellow and green, and the Police in blue and yellow. You can see here reflective graphics applied to a Rapid Response Vehicle, and Doc Bike.

There are also specific standards of vinyl to be used for reflective vinyl graphics, of which we source the best on the market to make sure these rules are always adhered to. There is however no need to go read front to back of the Highway Code, as we can assist you with any questions you have on getting your graphics applied.

Chapter 8 Markings

Like here on Bigfoot's van, the new chevron markings are in a fluorescent yellow and retro-reflective red vinyl. If your van or car ever stops to work on a public road then it is essential to comply to Chapter 8 best practice to ensure the safety of your workforce and the general public. You'll typically see these chevon markings on maintenance vehicles that read 'Motorway Maintenance' or 'Highway Maintenance'. These highly visible conspicuity markings are essential for the safety of all road users.

Regulations for Reflective Graphics

Since 2011 the ECE104 regulations have ensured that road users are able to identify and adjust their driving to accommodate potentially slower moving vehicles. So, whether you’ve got a car, van, truck or trailer, stand out on the road 24/7 with reflective vehicle graphics which showcase your business both day and night.

How long do Vehicle Graphics take to apply? We normally ask to have your vehicle for a day to be able to apply graphics. Pending the size of the vehicle, the area being covered and the level of detailing required, some vehicles can take a few days to complete. We will always discuss this with you during quotation so you are not caught out and can arrange alternative transport for the time your vehicle is with us.

How much does Vehicle Graphics cost? This really is dependant on the type and size of your vehicle, and again the amount of media and time for labour required. We created a handy guide detailing the ball-park figures you should allow pending on the type of work needed here.

Can you help me design my Vehicle Graphics? Of course! We have a Design Team in-house fully equipped to walk you through the process and turn your branding, logo and any other features you want into reality. We create a custom template for your make and model, and will then send proofs of what the final creation will look like before anything goes to print. We have an extensive catalogue of previous clients too in our Vehicle Graphics blogs so you can see past work done.
