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.

These need to go on a smooth flat metal surface and unfortunately would not bend over corners. We do a 17 PT for Ref magnets which possibly may be customized to that size but it would have the same issue as we cannot recommend these to bend over a corner. The size has to be exact in terms of the flat surface it adheres to.

If our Prepress Department will check your artwork and if they need to make adjustments or you need to replace the file for any reason, this will impact the total turnaround time.
