Description
What are magnetic vehicle signs made of?
Our magnetic van signs & car signs and made from magnetic vinyl. This white gloss, thin material is perfect for signage and banners on the go! As a water-resistant material that also repels cracking and bubbling, it’s an ideal solution for your vehicle promotion needs.
To ensure your adapted car signs and van signs look as sleek as possible, the magnetic vinyl they’re printed on is only 0.85mm thick; it’s a super thin, flexible but durable material.
How to apply magnetic signs to your vehicle
It’s quick and easy to apply your custom magnetic signs to your vehicle. Follow these simple steps for the best results:
1. Before you fix your new magnetic advertising signs to your vehicle, clean the surface and the magnet with a mild detergent. Wipe dry or allow the area to air dry naturally.
2. The area of the vehicle you’re attaching the magnetic signs to should be free of indents, ridges, rust spots and any trim. The area should also be as flat as possible.
3. Starting with one of the corners first, allow the magnetic pull between the sign and the vehicle to gradually come together and help it along the way. Once the car signs or van signs are flat against the surface, check to ensure there are no air pockets.
4. If you’ve accidentally attached your magnetic vehicle signs in the wrong place, completely remove them and start again. When removing, lift off at the sides and not the corners and don’t pull the magnetic signs across the surface of your vehicle – this may stretch or damage them.
5. Ensure your new van signage or car signs are fixed on firmly before driving away.
How to store magnetic signs
If you’re finished with your magnetic vehicle signs for a while but want to keep them to use at a later date, you can! We recommend you keep your car signs or van signage in a clean, dry place when not in use.
If you have multiple magnetic signs for your van or car, stack them on a flat surface and ensure you do not stack them with the magnetic sides touching each other. Although we wouldn’t recommend storing your personalised car signs rolled, if you need to, stand them on one end with the printed side facing out. It’s important to remember you must never fold your magnetic signs!
Are your van signs for commercial use? If you have an office space, why not store your signs on the back and sides of a filing cabinet?
Will custom magnetic signs damage car paint?
If business car magnets and van signs are applied to a vehicle correctly, they won’t cause any damage to the paintwork underneath; they can often help protect your vehicle’s paintwork from fading in the sun. However, unlike vehicle graphics, magnetic vehicle signs are not meant to be permanent and are a temporary advertising solution – we would recommend removing them and cleaning the surface underneath every so often. Ensure the surface is completely dry before reattaching the signage.
