What are vehicle magnets?
Vehicle magnets are no more than graphics that are printed on vinyl and applied to a flexible magnetic substrate. The exciting thing about vehicle magnets is that they are both transferable and can be put into use when you want and removed when you don’t. These features make them very desirable to those who require versatility.
Vehicle magnets are a great way to advertise your company. With the potential for tens of thousands of daily views, they deliver one of the best cost per impression among popular forms of advertising. The downside is that they are small and often overlooked by potential viewers.
Are they expensive?
Vehicle magnets are also very economical, especially when compared to permanent wraps and vinyl graphics. And like their counterparts, magnets can be printed in full high-definition graphics. A typical set of door magnets will cost between 25 -
50.
What should my magnet say?
We most commonly see companies print their company name, logo, tagline, phone number and website. Depending on space, one of these details might need to be sacrificed. It’s important to remember that your audience may be driving along at 40mph while glancing at your sign so they may only recall your name – which is great if they can google you later.
What type of magnetic material do I need?
Typically, a 30 mil magnetic sheeting is plenty sufficient to keep a magnet secure to the side of your vehicle zooming along at 60mph. Consult your sign maker if your needs are different from typical vehicle types and/or uses.
Is there suggested care and maintenance?
While car magnets are simple and straightforward for the most part, there are a few important areas to point out that will help you avoid damage to your vehicle.

While car magnets are simple and straightforward for the most part, there are a few important areas to point out that will help you avoid damage to your vehicle.
- Never apply magnetic signs to a new or newly painted vehicle. A minimum of 120 days should pass first. Doing so can cause the magnet to permanently adhere to your vehicle and damage may occur when attempting to remove it. Steaming the magnet may help minimize any damage.
- Remove your magnetic signs once a week and quickly clean the surface below the magnet with soap and water. Be sure that the surface is fully dry before replacing the magnet. Failure to do this may result in faded and/or discolored areas and will reduce the value of your vehicle.
