A great van wrap doesn’t just look good. It gets noticed, remembered, and brings in leads. At Drive Creative, we work with Melbourne’s top tradies and businesses to design wraps that stand out in traffic, on site, and in driveways.
If you're planning to wrap your van, make sure your design includes these key features to get the best result.
Clear Branding Comes First
Your logo is your identity. It should be visible from a distance and placed in more than one location on the van.
Best practices:
- Use a large logo across the side panels
- Add a smaller logo on the back door or rear window
-
Avoid overcrowding the design, which distracts from the main logo and message.
Your van might be the first time someone sees your business, so make the brand easy to recognise.
Use High Contrast for Readability
Contrast is what makes text and graphics pop. If your brand colours are soft or similar, your message may blend into the background.
Use strong contrast between:
- Text and background
- Logo and body colour
-
Phone number and design elements
For example, dark blue text on a white background is easier to read than grey on silver.
Add One Strong Call to Action
A good wrap doesn’t just promote. It guides action. Make sure your design includes one clear call to action that tells people exactly what to do next.
Effective calls to action include:
- Call Now
- Book Online
- Get a Free Quote
-
Visit [your website]
Place it near your phone number or QR code, and make sure it’s large enough to read from a distance.
Let the Design Breathe
Too many elements jammed together can overwhelm the viewer. White space is not wasted space. It helps guide the eye to what matters.
What to avoid:
- Cluttered layouts
- Stacked logos and icons
-
More than one slogan or phone number
Our team at Drive Creative builds wraps with purpose. Every element has a job, and we make sure nothing gets in the way of the message.
Make the Most of the Rear Panel
The back of your van is often the most visible part. People behind you in traffic or parked nearby will see this area most.
Use the rear door or panel for:
- Phone number
- Website
- Logo
-
QR code or offer
This is a great spot to reinforce your brand while people wait behind you at lights.
Need a new logo or a brand refresh? We offer those too, as an optional service. Start your custom wrap today.
What Works in Mentone
Mentone is a high-traffic suburb with busy retail areas and school zones. We often design wraps for vans parked in front of job sites or on side streets. A clean layout with high contrast and bold text works best here.
If you're frequently in Mentone, your van can act as a mobile billboard every day, as long as the design is sharp and readable.
Stand Out in Bonbeach
Bonbeach has more relaxed residential streets, but people still take notice of branded vehicles doing regular work. A well-wrapped van helps build trust and repeat recognition. Keep the design clean, bright, and informative.
We’ve helped local tradies wrap their vans to create lasting impressions while driving to and from local jobs.
Design That Performs, Not Just Impresses
At Drive Creative, we go beyond good looks. We build wraps that drive results. Our process includes:
- Discovery and brand alignment
- Custom layouts for your vehicle type
- High-quality vinyl and bold print finishes
-
Installation with precision and care
We know what works in Melbourne’s suburbs, and we tailor each wrap to your business, audience, and goals.
