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.

This will not be an issue as we use UV inks which makes the images not only sharper but also more durable to outside conditions. Although weather conditions and proper care of the signs will always be factors to it's durability, clients have reported that their signs have lasted effectively for up to two years.
We use a 30 Pt Magnetic whose surface will not have any gloss or other lamination so there would be little glare on these magnets. Visually, a dark background on a sign that is in motion may sometimes be harder to standout and be read as against a sign that has a lighter background. However, if the lettering stands out enough, this should be ok.

Unfortunately this occurs with certain products where the printing cost is low. Over the years we have tried to keep printing cost at a certain level but there are overhead and handling costs that also impact after production which is then added to shipping. These include the additional manpower needed for the manual process involved in packing so that jobs are not delayed and backlogs are avoided, the materials we use to ensure the item will be delivered securely (which we put a lot of effort into) and even moving the hundreds of packages from the production area to our courier's trucks. Then of course the distance of where we print from and ship to is also a factor.
It is a balancing act between the rising costs of printing and shipping that our production team works on constantly and we hope for our client's understanding of the situation.
However, please give us a call so that we can take a look at your order and check if we can recalculate or provide other solutions.
