Fleet Branding Case Study – Paul Turner Signwriters Ltd, Leeds
At Paul Turner Signwriters Ltd, we specialise in fleet branding, commercial vehicle wrapping and HGV graphics for businesses across Leeds and Yorkshire.
One of our latest projects involved wrapping and branding 16 Volvo Aero cabs for PD Bannister. Each vehicle received vinyl graphics across the cab sides alongside vinyl lettering to the front, creating a sharp and consistent appearance across the entire fleet.
Completed over several weeks at our Garforth workshop near Leeds, the project required careful measuring, preparation and installation across all 16 vehicles. The finished fleet now gives PD Bannister a professional and recognisable presence wherever its vehicles are working.
About PD Bannister
PD Bannister is a family-run haulage company based in Bradford, West Yorkshire, providing transport, distribution, warehousing and packing services.
Founded in 1973, the business has more than 50 years of experience in the haulage industry, with its commercial fleet operating across the UK.
With its vehicles regularly travelling nationwide, consistent fleet branding helps PD Bannister maintain a professional and recognisable presence on the road. For this project, that meant applying the company’s distinctive graphics across 16 new Volvo Aero cabs
Fleet Branding and Project Preparation
The 16 Volvo Aero cabs presented a substantial commercial vehicle wrapping project. Before production began, our team assessed the vehicles, took accurate measurements and planned how the graphics would be positioned across each cab.
This preparation ensured the vinyl wraps, side graphics and front lettering could be repeated accurately, creating consistent fleet branding across all 16 vehicles.
Project Objectives
The main goals for this project were:
- Professionally brand all 16 Volvo Aero cabs
- Create a consistent appearance across the fleet
- Apply vinyl wraps and graphics to the cab sides
- Add clear vinyl lettering to the front of each vehicle
- Complete every cab to the same high standard
- Prepare the vehicles for regular use on the road
Materials Used
For this fleet branding project, we used high-quality vinyl wrap and lettering materials to create a professional and durable finish across all 16 Volvo Aero cabs.
- Wrap: Vinyl applied to the cab sides
- Lettering: Cut vinyl lettering fitted to the cab fronts
- Graphics: Consistent PD Bannister fleet branding
- Vehicles: 16 Volvo Aero cabs
The same colours, lettering and graphic layout were reproduced across every vehicle, giving PD Bannister a recognisable fleet appearance whether the cabs are travelling individually or seen together at the depot.
Measuring and Preparation
Careful preparation was essential to ensure the graphics fitted accurately and remained consistent across all 16 cabs. Our team measured the Volvo Aeros and planned the placement of each element before producing the wrap and lettering.
Before installation, every cab was thoroughly cleaned and prepared. The process included:
- Measuring the cab panels accurately
- Checking the positioning of the graphics
- Cleaning and preparing each application area
- Aligning the side wraps and front lettering
- Maintaining consistent colours and spacing
- Carrying out checks before installation began
Installation Process
Our technicians completed the fleet branding one vehicle at a time, paying close attention to the positioning and finish of every element.
The work included:
- Vinyl wrapping and graphics to the cab sides
- Vinyl lettering across the front of each cab
- Accurate fitting around panels and body contours
- Consistent positioning across all 16 vehicles
- Final finishing and quality checks
Working through the fleet over several weeks allowed our team to give every Volvo Aero the same care and attention, producing a clean and consistent result across the full project.
Completed Result
The completed Volvo Aero cabs now give PD Bannister a sharp, professional and recognisable fleet appearance.
Consistent colours, lettering and graphic positioning ensure the vehicles reflect the same brand identity whether they are parked together or operating individually across the country. All 16 cabs were wrapped, branded and finished to a high standard, ready to return to work.
