Our magnetic signs are made from high quality magnetic sheeting with vinyl lettering and graphics. They are easily applied and removed from any vehicle where permanent graphics are not desired (e.g. a vehicle which is for both business and personal use.) The most popular magnetic sign size for truck doors is 12" x 24", for cars with moldings, 6" x 24". Thickness:
.030 mil for automotive advertising Magnetic sheeting is flexible to well below 0 degrees F, although at colder temperatures more care needs to be taken in handling the signs. If you are using your magnetics in a permanent way, you might want to consider decaling your vehicle directly. This gives a sense of professionalism and permanence to a business, while magnetics tend to look more temporary. Other pros of decaling your car directly: no problem of your graphics falling off because of the wind, and no fear of theft.
NOTE:
When ordering, please send us camera-ready art so we may expedite the order. If camera-ready artwork is not supplied, a layout must be approved prior to producing the order. There is a one time fee for producing the layout design, depending on the time spent and the complexity of the graphics. Design time is charged at $50.00 per hour (part or all of this fee might be waived at our discretion).
HOW TO USE AND CARE FOR YOUR NEW MAGNETIC VEHICLE SIGNS
The vehicle surface and the brown, magnetic side of the sign should be thoroughly cleaned, dried, and well waxed prior to applying. The magnetic sheeting should be warmed to room temperature.
Don't just "slap" the magnetic sign onto the side of the vehicle. Make contact on one edge of the sign to the vehicle surface in the desired location, then let the adjacent part of the sign contact the vehicle surface until the entire sign is held magnetically to the vehicle. If the sign is not in the desired position, remove and repeat the process. (Do not try to straighten the sign by pulling when it is held magnetically to the vehicle. This might stretch the material, especially when hot.) Avoid placing your sign over chrome trim or surface protrusions of any kind. Never let an edge hang over a body Line. The temperature of the sign should be at least 60 degrees F during installation. The temperature of the vehicle surface does not matter. Never apply a magnetic sign when it is deformed. Warm it on a flat surface (clothes dryer or water heater) to return it to its proper shape first.
Always remove the sign by lifting from the center of the two opposite sides. Never start at the corners. This precaution will avoid bent corners and reduced adhesion.
Magnetic vehicle signs will not adhere to areas on you car where plastic body fillers have been used. In order to avoid loosing your signs, use caution in applying vehicle signs to areas of your car that have been damaged and repaired.
Your signs should be periodically removed - once a week minimum. Wipe dry both the vehicle and the back of the sign. Trapped moisture, dirt, or chemicals may harm your vehicle finish. Clean your sign with plain water or warm water and a mild detergent. If, particularly in cold weather, the sheeting becomes bent or distorted, placing it on a warm flat surface (clothes dryer or water heater) or on a large metal surface such as a metal filing cabinet or washing machine and heating it with a blow dryer or heat gun will help bring it back to shape.
To avoid cracking or breaking, do not fold or crease. Store your magnetic signs flat (maybe on the side of a fridge or metal filing cabinet). Don't store magnetic signs back to back; they will loose their magnetic force. We recommend that you print out these instructions and refer to them regularly.

Flexible magnetic sheeting can't be beat for temporary signage on vehicles to generate impact and increase your company's recognition. The entire vehicle becomes a moving billboard for your company. Magnetic sheeting is also sometimes used, with steel, instead of aluminum "For Sale" sign riders.
