Pollitt Signs and Graphics — New Castle County
Full wraps, partial wraps, and truck lettering — designed, printed, and installed in-house on premium vinyl built to last 10 years. Serving businesses in Newark and New Castle County since 1947.
Pollitt Signs and Graphics has been building signs and vehicle graphics in Havre de Grace since 1947, and every fleet job is designed, printed, and installed in-house at our shop — nothing gets outsourced. We offer full wraps, partial wraps, cut vinyl lettering, and perforated window film, all printed with UV-resistant inks on premium vinyl rated for a 10-year life expectancy. Our certified applicators have handled complete fleet programs, including a full wrap job on 12 service vans for a local HVAC company, so every vehicle in your fleet matches from the first van to the last.
Newark's Main Street serves the University of Delaware community — restaurants, retail, and services that cater to students, faculty, and the surrounding suburban market. The Route 896 and Route 72 commercial corridors beyond Main Street serve a broader suburban area with different visibility dynamics and sign type requirements. New Castle County sign permits follow Delaware's commercial sign code, which differs from Maryland's in several key ways — notably around illuminated sign setback requirements and square-footage calculations by street frontage. Our team handles Delaware permit submissions, knows the New Castle County Land Use review process, and coordinates with the Delaware Department of Transportation when highway signs require state-level review.
All fleet & vehicle graphics installations in Newark require sign permits through the New Castle County Department of Land Use. As a New Castle County sign company with over seven decades of permitting experience, our dedicated permit department handles the application, setback compliance review, and any variance requests. New Castle County's Department of Land Use generally reviews standard commercial sign permit applications in about 4–6 weeks. Delaware's sign code calculates maximum allowable size by street frontage and sets specific setback and illumination rules that differ from Maryland's, so oversized or illuminated requests commonly trigger a variance, and signs proposed within New Castle's historic district must also clear the town's historic area commission before a permit is issued. You focus on your business; we handle the paperwork.
Newark's historic Main Street setting shapes how we approach fleet & vehicle graphics here. Vehicles serving Main Street businesses are often parked curbside for extended periods rather than driven at speed, so we can afford more detailed graphics and smaller type that read well to pedestrians walking past a parked van.
