What are car magnets?
Car magnets serve as your business card on the road. These auto signs are printed on a 30 pt. magnetic stock that sticks firmly and seamlessly to any vehicle, giving it a custom-painted look.
Durable and UV-resistant, custom car magnets are an economical way of promoting any business. Order them once and use them for many years. Update your messaging as frequently as you need or remove the signs when your vehicle is “off duty”.
Boost Attention to Your Message With Custom Car Magnets
Car magnets come in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing you to drive more attention to your message or branding. Choose from the following traditional shapes:
- Rectangle/Square
- Oval
- Circle
Magnetic car signs are also available in custom shapes and sizes to make your message stand out even more. To personalize your car magnets, choose Custom Size and Custom Shape from the dropdown menu.
How to Install Car Magnets
Installing car magnets takes only a couple of minutes. Before using them, find the best spot where customers will see your advertisements. Car magnets are usually installed in two places:
- Side of the vehicle – Side placement makes it easy for customers to see your magnetic sign while your vehicle is parked on the street.
- Back of the vehicle – If your vehicle is on the move, back placement lets the drivers behind you to see your message.
Now it’s time to put the magnets in place. Here’s how to do it:
- Before installing, place the magnet on a flat magnetic surface for at least 24 hours to flatten it.
- Wipe the vehicle surface and back of the magnet with a wet cloth and detergent. Let dry.
- Place one end of the magnet in the desired position. Line up the other edge of the magnet, making sure that it’s flat against the metal surface.
Note: Make sure that the vehicle surface is flat and entirely metal where the magnet will be placed. Avoid installing on surfaces where there are protrusions (molding, decals, pinstripes, etc) because these will prevent the magnet from sticking securely to your vehicle.
Extend the Life of Car Magnets
Magnetic car signs are durable, but with proper care, you can use these signs for as long as two (2) years.
When cleaning your vehicle, remove the magnet to clean debris from the vehicle surface. This will help extend the magnetic hold of the magnet and prevent any damage to the car sign.
If you will not be using the car magnets for a long period, store them flat and away from direct sunlight.

Car Magnets FAQs
Magnets do not cause any paint damage when installed carefully. However, they do not always adhere well to fresh paint. To avoid scratches on your newly painted vehicle and ensure that the magnet stays on, we recommend waiting for the paint to cure or harden for 90 days.
Car magnets stick on most metals. When installing magnetic car signs, take note of its placement. Most car doors are made of steel, which is well-suited to magnets. However, some car doors contain only a small amount of steel and are not suitable for car magnets. Before placing an order, test if your car door is magnetic by attaching a small magnet to it. But if you are going to mount it elsewhere on the vehicle, the magnet may not stick properly. Carbon fiber, plastic, and brass are not ideal for magnet placements.

We do have a Design Team that can basically put your ideas into a design for a Car Magnet. We do have a few requirements if you should decide to go for this option:
- Complete and detailed instructions on what you need to be done in MS Word format
- Samples of layouts and designs we can use as inspiration for your Car Magnet
- If you need to insert images, they need to be of high resolution
- We don't design logos as this tends to be a very long process. However, you can get free logos online from shutterstock or other similar sites and we can edit those for you. However, we would still need to assess the quality of your file and the complexity of your request.
- We will need you to create an account on the website and speak to one of our Design Service Representatives to set up a quote for you that needs to be paid upfront.
In return, you will get an initial design and allowed two revisions. That is why the instructions need to be very clear as the work will be based on how we interpret your instructions. This will result in a high resolution file that you can keep and use for your branding and other marketing projects you have down the road.
You do have another option as you mentioned you may only need words and colors on your Car Magnet. You can select the size you need on the Configure and Price Section. After that, there is a link to "Create Your Design Online". Its important you decide first the size of your Car Magnet as you cannot change this once you start your design. That link will let you access a Design Tool which is very easy to use. You can type in the words that you need in various fonts and sizes and select the background color of the sign as well as the colors of your lettering. This will save you money on design fees as it is completely free. You can also have access to thousands of themes or images that can be used for your design for a small fee as these are copyrighted. You just need to type in the general field of your business and it will give you hundreds of images you can choose from. If you have questions or need assistance, you can give us call as our lines are open 24/7 during weekdays and office hours on weekends.
Yes, that is possible. However the job has to be processed by the Custom Department so you will need to call in and speak to them to set the order up. This will save time instead of the job being held up if you do try to order it as a regular job because we would need to confirm that with you. Please note that the price of the Magnet will remain the same even if it is completely blank.
Yes, this is definitely possible as the cutting for Large Format Jobs are very accurate. You will need to set this up with one of our Custom Representatives and it would be good to remain in contact with whomever you get assigned to for future orders of the same size.
As much as possible we would advise to have the magnets stored flat as rolling them might cause it to curl and not attach securely. You may need time to flatten them out if rolled for a prolonged period as it may be difficult to check them in without rolling it.
Unfortunately, we cannot seem to look up your account with the information you provided (email and phone number). Different information may have been used at the time of ordering.
However, it would seem that since we do a lot of DOT and MC numbers on our car magnets, it would be possible to replicate this with our Design Tool since these are mostly letters and numerals. Please configure the size and other specifications on the Configure and Price section and look for the "Create Your Design Online" link. From there it would easy to type in the information you need and it can be done in minutes. If you have any questions, please give us a call.
