Magnetic Car Signs

Magnetic Car Signs - Advertising On The Move

Magnetic car signs are a sturdy, weatherproof choice for advertising your brand.  Semi-permanent in their design, these signs can be placed and removed without fear of damage to anything metal.  Not gold though - gold isn't magnetic as a general rule.

Your custom design is printed onto a magnetic material with inks that are fadeproof and water resistant meaning you get more life out of your sign.

The sign itself won't damage your paint job but you should take care not to place them on top of rust or damage as this could stop them sticking as well as intended.

UK shipping is free, exceptions apply.

Technical Specifications for Magnetic Sign Printing

Artwork specifications:

When supplying artwork for Flexible Magnetic Vinyls, please supply 1 multi layered PDF, which contains the following:

• 3mm bleed on all sides

• CMYK PDF

• Outline or embed fonts

• 150 dpi resolution

• Artwork layer named “Artwork” with CMYK artwork for print

• We recommend using 18 pt fonts and 2 pt lines at a minimum on 150 dpi products to ensure the print is legible. Please have a look at our Help Centre article for more details.

• If you are ordering a custom shape, please supply a vector cutting guide with a thickness of 0.25pt set as a spot colour named “KissCutting” and set at 100% magenta. This should be setup as an overprint stroke on a layer named “KissCutting”

Printed direct to substrate on a 900µ (0.9mm) thick magnetic sheet comprising of a matt white PET (a form of polyester) to the front and a magnetic layer on the reverse.

Instruction for Magnets:

Before Use:

If your decal has arrived in a roll or appears creased, lay in a warm place on a flat surface for a few hours or overnight. A useful tip is to place on the warm side of a fridge or freezer.

Precautions for Use:

• Do not apply magnetic sheet to newly painted surfaces, especially non factory applied finishes.

• Ensure that both the vehicle panel and the underside of the decal are clean, dry and free of dust, grit and ice before applying.

• The whole decal must be placed to ensure that the magnetic sheet has maximum contact with a ferrous surface. Do not attempt to place the decal over a panel crease or hollow.

• Do not exceed the legal speed limit. In adverse weather conditions such as strong winds, remove decals from vehicle.

Positioning & Removal:

Do not drag Decals over the vehicle panel. If any grit is trapped, you could scratch the paintwork.

**Important**: You must regularly (every 2-3 days) remove the panels and clean/wax the bodywork behind them. This is particularly important in hot weather when you are recommended to remove the panels at the end of every day.

Likewise, when there is a danger of overnight frost/ice, remove the panels otherwise ice can creep behind them. Note that the material will stiffen in cold weather increasing the risk of loss in windy conditions.

The magnetic properties of the sheet comply with European standards as suitable for use on vehicles. However, as neither we nor the manufacturer have any control over how the magnetic decals are used or maintained, we do not give any guarantee that decals will not fall off the vehicle during use.

Storage:

Magnetic decals are best kept by placing on a flat surface in a cool dry environment. Applying excessive heat can reduce the magnetic properties of the material. Long term storage against other magnets can also damage your signs.

The use of magnetic sheet for vehicle signs may, in exceptional circumstances, result in damage to vehicle paintwork.

The advice above is given to minimise the risk of such damage occurring.
