Panels for your van, not a full wrap
So there is no confusion when you order.
Our DIY kits are the printed branding panels that go on the sides and centre of your van, the part that carries your logo, your number and your message. They are not a full van wrap, and they are not meant to cover the whole vehicle. You fit them yourself in minutes, no installer needed.
A full DIY wrap kit for the whole van is something we plan to add later. For now, if you want the whole van done, we do that for you as a fitted modular wrap.
The kit
What you get in a panel kit
Everything that needs a printer, a plotter and a designer is done before it reaches you. What is left is the easy part you handle on your own drive.
- Your branding printed onto made to measure side and centre panels, cut to your exact van, not generic sheets you trim yourself.
- Your choice of material: self adhesive vinyl, premium Metamark MD5A vinyl, or magnetic.
- Free artwork: we lay out your logo, phone number and message so it reads well on the road.
- A proof to approve before we print, so the panels you receive are the panels you signed off.
- A simple fitting guide so the panels go on straight first time.
- Tracked UK delivery, packed flat and protected so the panels arrive ready to use.
Choose your material
Self adhesive vinyl, Metamark MD5A, or magnetic
All three are printed and cut to your van. The right one comes down to how long you want it to last and whether you want the branding to lift off.

Design
Free design, made to measure for your van
A panel is only as good as the artwork on it, so we design yours for free and cut it to your van.
Send us your logo and the details you want on the van, your phone number, website and the main thing you want people to remember. Our team lays it out so it is clear from across a car park, not crammed with text that nobody reads at speed. We work to the real measurements of your make, model and year, so the panels follow the lines of the van and sit where they should.
You see a proof before anything is printed. Change a colour, move the logo, make the number bigger, it is all sorted at this stage. Once you are happy you approve it, and that is exactly what we print and cut. If you would rather we handled the whole van for you, our modular wraps cover the full vehicle with us doing the fitting.
The process
How to order, print and ship in five steps
From first enquiry to panels on your van, the path is short and there is nothing to guess at.
- Start your order and tell us your van make, model and year.
- Pick your material: self adhesive vinyl, Metamark MD5A, or magnetic.
- Send your logo and details, and we design the panel artwork for free.
- Approve the proof, so you know exactly what is being printed.
- We print, cut and post your panels, tracked, ready to fit at home with the guide enclosed.
Fitting
Fit it yourself at home, no tools needed
The whole point of a panel kit is that you can put it on without a unit, a heat gun or a trained fitter.
Magnetic panels are the simplest job there is. Make sure the van is clean and dry, line the panel up against the body line and let it grip. If it is not quite straight, lift it and try again. There is nothing to cut and nothing to damage, which is why so many lease and side hustle vans run magnetics.
Self adhesive and Metamark MD5A panels take a little more patience but are well within reach on a calm, dry day. Clean the panel, peel the backing a section at a time and press the vinyl down from the middle outwards with a squeegee so no air is trapped. Our guide walks you through the order to fit each piece. Work slowly, take a break if you need to, and you will get a finish you are proud of.
Cost
DIY panel cost
A panel kit lands well below a fitted wrap for one straightforward reason: you are doing the fitting, not us, and it is panels, not the whole van.
The price depends on your van, the material you choose and how many panels you want. A pair of magnetic door panels is a small spend. A set of self adhesive or Metamark MD5A panels across both sides costs more, because there is more material and more design. Your make and model, the material and the number of panels all move the figure.
Because you fit it yourself there is no labour and no day off the road in the price. For an exact figure on your van, the quickest route is to start your order and tell us the details. We will price it properly rather than quote a range that does not fit your van.
Questions
DIY van panel FAQs
Is this a full van wrap kit?
No. Right now our DIY kits are the printed branding panels for the sides and centre of your van, not full coverage. You pick the material, we print and cut the panels to your exact van, and you fit them yourself. A full DIY wrap kit is something we plan to add later.
What is Metamark MD5A vinyl?
Metamark MD5A is our premium panel material, a high-performance 7-year polymeric vinyl. It lies flatter, holds its colour longer and finishes cleaner than a standard self adhesive film, so it is the one to pick if you want the best look and the longest life from a stick on panel.
Do magnetic panels damage paint?
No, not when they are looked after. Magnetic panels sit on clean, dry, undamaged paint and lift off without leaving a mark. The thing to watch is grit. Wipe the panel and the van now and then, and lift the magnets off to wash underneath, and your paint stays in good order.
Which material should I choose?
Magnetic if you want the branding on and off in seconds, ideal for lease vans. Self adhesive vinyl for a permanent panel on a budget. Metamark MD5A for a permanent panel with the best finish and the longest life. If you are not sure, tell us your van and how you use it and we will point you the right way.
Which vans can you make panels for?
We make panels to measure for the common UK vans going back to 2014, from small vans like the Caddy and Connect up to long wheelbase vans like the Transit, Sprinter and Crafter. Tell us your make, model and year when you order and we cut the panels to fit.
