Medium delivery vans fill the gap between a compact city van and a large high-roof unit. They carry pallets of stock, tools for a crew or a day's worth of parcels, and they appear in almost every industry that moves goods locally. For branding, they provide a balanced canvas: a long enough side for a name and a trade line to sit comfortably, with a rear door large enough for a strong contact message.
The balance is what makes the design challenge interesting. The side can hold a bold message or become busy, and it is easy to overdo it.

Using the length of the side
On a medium van the side is typically divided by a sliding door and a rear quarter. We often anchor the company name above the wheel arch on the main panel, run a thin stripe along the body to tie in the sliding door and place the contact strip on the rear quarter. The sliding door itself can carry a repeated logo mark. This produces a layout that is easy to read at a glance and looks planned rather than crowded.
Rear doors and the following driver
On any van, the rear is where the most eyes land. Medium vans usually have two barn doors with a central split and sometimes small windows. A bold name in the upper panel, a contact line in the lower panel and a reflective border make the rear both informative and visible at night. If the doors have windows, we can use perforated one-way film to continue the design across the glass, subject to the vehicle and how you use it, and confirmed at quotation.
Middle-ground wrap choices
Medium vans suit all branding levels. Cut vinyl and decals work for businesses with simple logos. A partial van wrap adds colour and imagery to selected panels. A full van wrap transforms the whole vehicle. Our designers advise on the best level once they have seen your van and understood how it is used.
Typical users
We commonly brand medium vans for building suppliers, caterers, laundry services, courier companies, furniture deliverers and trades with workshops on wheels. Where a van is fitted with shelving, a ladder rack or a roof box, we plan around the external fittings. For deliveries of food, see food delivery van branding, and for businesses with several vans, the courier van page covers numbering and fleet consistency.
Suitable branding options
At a glance
Medium delivery van branding suits the workhorses that dominate South African roads: mid-size vans used for parcels, stock, catering, maintenance and trade supplies. These vehicles have enough side length and rear door height to carry a full message without crowding, so a design can include a logo, a short service description, a website and a contact line, all at a size that people can read from a distance.
We design, print and install medium delivery van branding for businesses in Johannesburg, Sandton, Pretoria, Midrand, Centurion, Durban and Cape Town, working to the exact panel layout of the van in your fleet. Choices include partial wraps that use the van's own colour, full wraps for maximum impact, and cut vinyl lettering for a simpler look. Rear doors, sliding doors and fuel flaps are all planned for, so that nothing is cut off or hidden when the vehicle is in use. If you operate several medium delivery vans, we can keep one consistent livery across the whole fleet and repeat it on new vehicles as you add them. Request a quote with your logo and van details. Studio visits in Rivonia are by appointment only.
Common questions
Is a medium van the best size to brand?
It is a good balance of surface and cost, but any size can be branded effectively with the right layout.
Can I put a large image on the side?
Yes, if it is high resolution. We print in panels and align them so the image runs across the sliding door.
What if my van has a roof rack?
Roof racks stay in place and artwork is placed below or around them.
Can you do both sides the same?
Yes, or a mirrored version that keeps text reading left to right on each side.
How do I get a quote?
Use the quote builder or send photos of your van with the make, model and roof height.
