Overview
Magnetic van sign printing is for vans that cannot, or should not, carry permanent livery. Think of a hired van for a house clearance weekend, a leased van that goes back in two years, or a van shared between two small firms. Slap the magnets on each morning and the van works for whoever is driving it.
Why one size works on a van
A2 is 420 × 594 mm, about the size of a large wall poster, and it sits well on a cab door or a flat stretch of side panel. Order a pair for both cab doors, add more for the back, and scale up to 250 if you run a small fleet. Printing is full colour on 900µ magnetic sheeting with square cut edges.
Check the panel, then the paint
Magnets grip steel only. Aluminium, plastic and fibreglass panels will not hold them, so try a fridge magnet on the spot first. Pick a flat area away from ribs and pressed lines. Clean and dry the paint before fitting, and lift the magnet off every so often to wipe underneath so moisture cannot sit against the paintwork.
Magnetic van sign printing and your number plate
Rear doors are tempting, but keep every sign well clear of lights and the plate. The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001 require registration plates to be displayed properly, so a magnet that covers part of one is a problem you do not need.
Artwork, timing and delivery
Trade, name, phone number, website. Big enough to read from a parked car across the road. Upload a print-ready file, use the free online designer, or book the paid artwork service; a person checks every uploaded file for free. Standard production is 5 working days after your order and artwork are confirmed, express from 4 and saver 6. Made to order and dispatched from the UK, with UK mainland delivery at £7.95, free on orders of £100 or more after discounts; see delivery. Driving a car instead?

Questions
Quick answers about magnetic van sign printing.
Is it fine to keep the magnetic sign on my van week in, week out?
Take it off every few days rather than leaving it permanently. Wipe and dry both the van panel and the back of the magnet, then put it back. That small routine looks after your paintwork.
Do you check the design I upload?
Every upload is looked at by a person first, and nothing is printed until it passes. If anything needs fixing on your magnetic van sign order, we tell you before it is made. Paid help is there too: a clean layout from your text and logo (£15), a design from your brief (£35) or a logo redraw (£30), each with one first draft and two rounds of changes.
Will the price go up when I reach the checkout?
No. The figure on the page is the one you pay at checkout. The £18.35 starting price for your magnetic van sign order is the full price of the goods. Goods worth £100 or more travel free to a UK mainland address; below that, delivery is a flat £7.95 for the whole order.
How do I find out what my magnetic sign will cost?
Choose the options on this page and the total updates straight away. It opens on the cheapest combination, £18.35. What the page shows is what you pay for the goods at checkout.
Is there a discount if I buy more?
Usually, yes: the more you order, the less each one tends to cost. Anything from 1 up to 250 is priced on this page for your magnetic van sign order. Postage to the UK mainland is £7.95 per basket, not per item, and free when your goods total £100 or more.
Which material is used for the magnetic van signs?
Full colour print on 900µ Magnetic Sheeting. Prices start at £18.35. For another material, send a request from the Get a quote page.
Asked by buyers
How cheaply can I get hold of Magnetic Van Signs?
Picked the way the page first loads, with 900µ magnetic sheeting, A2 · 420 × 594 mm and no, Magnetic Van Signs come to £18.35. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. On its own the opening price of £18.35 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.
Which turnaround speeds can I choose for Magnetic Van Signs?
Allow 6 working days on Saver, 5 on Standard or 4 on Express before Magnetic Van Signs are handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.
Is delivery extra on top of the price of Magnetic Van Signs?
Send it to a UK mainland address for a flat £7.95, or for free when the goods in the basket add up to £100 or more after discounts; artwork and design charges do not count towards that. An order of just this at the opening price of £18.35 is under £100, so it pays the £7.95. We price delivery first for Northern Ireland and for the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man; Highland addresses on the mainland just pay £10 extra, one time per order.
Which artwork services are offered with Magnetic Van Signs?
Several routes, all chosen under Artwork on this page. Send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The fee is the same whatever quantity you order and shows separately in the basket. There is also a free online designer if you want to build it yourself. On this page, Magnetic Van Signs start from £18.35.
Is the online designer free, and how do I use it?
Pick a starting layout, swap in your own words, logo and pictures, and move things around until it looks right. While you work, the tool flags sample text you forgot to change, small text, items outside the safe area and blurry images, before you can finish. It is free to use and the on-screen watermark does not print. What you see is what we print. Make the artwork for these magnetic signs the same size as the one you order, such as A2 (420 × 594 mm).
Which size of Magnetic Van Signs will fit my car door?
Grab a tape measure and find the biggest flat area on the door, keeping away from handles, body creases and trim. Then go for a size that leaves a narrow border of bare panel all round. Options: A2 (420 × 594 mm) for £18.35, 900 × 450 mm for £22.44, 1000 × 500 mm for £24.92 and 1000 × 600 mm for £27.54. Or type in your own size, as large as 1000 × 600 mm.
Which is the smallest and which the biggest magnetic sign I can order here?
The table has 4 sizes. At the small end, A2 (420 × 594 mm) costs from £18.35; at the top, 1000 × 600 mm costs from £27.54. Need something in between? Type in your own width and height, anywhere from 300 mm to 1000 by 600 mm. Each figure is for the cheapest set of options at that size. Unsure? Measure where it will go and check the view from the spot people will stand.
Will these magnetic signs hold on any car or van?
Do the fridge magnet test before fitting Magnetic Van Signs: if a fridge magnet will not stick, neither will a magnetic sign. Aluminium, plastic and fibreglass panels are no good. Then pick a flat stretch of steel away from body creases, badges, trim and the door edge, so nothing lifts the sign. Clean and dry the panel (and skip the wax), then press the sign on from the middle towards the edges.
What looking after do these magnetic signs need?
A little weekly habit keeps Magnetic Van Signs in good shape: off with the sign, clean and dry the panel and the magnet back, then refit. Remove it before any car wash, and keep it flat, or gently curved round a smooth object, rather than folded. Give the edges a quick check before a long motorway trip.
I am not a business. Can I buy just one of these magnetic signs?
Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for Magnetic Van Signs begin at £18.35, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. On its own the opening price of £18.35 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.
How many Magnetic Van Signs can I buy at one time?
Anything from 1 to 250. The quantity choices on the page run 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, and upwards. The figure shown is for the whole batch, not for one, so divide it by the number you picked to see the cost of each. If you need more than 250, send the size, number and date through our Get a quote page. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each magnetic sign is made to order for you.
Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?
No surprises: what the page shows for these magnetic signs is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Before delivery, these magnetic signs cost from £18.35.
Could you price a 1000 × 500 mm magnetic sign for me?
From £24.92, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Before delivery, these magnetic signs cost from £18.35.
How much for the biggest size, 1000 × 600 mm?
From £27.54, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Sizes for these magnetic signs go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to 1000 × 600 mm, 4 in all.
Do you send to Northern Ireland or the islands?
Yes, anywhere in the UK, though the price differs by area. A Highlands postcode on the mainland pays the usual rate plus a single £10 for the order, and that £10 still applies when the rest of the delivery is free. Northern Ireland gets a price worked out first, as do the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man: send your postcode through our Get a quote page or the Contact page. We cannot send anything outside the UK. Before delivery, these magnetic signs cost from £18.35.
Our event is close. Can Magnetic Van Signs be rushed?
Yes. Choose Express and Magnetic Van Signs can be on the way in 4 working days on the opening option, for £21.27, where Saver is £18.35 and takes 6 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these magnetic signs?
Big items seen from a distance only need 100 to 150 dpi at full size. So a 1000 × 600 mm layout wants about 3,937 by 2,362 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it.
Can I send a Word or Canva file for Magnetic Van Signs?
Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. Make the artwork for these magnetic signs the same size as the one you order, such as A2 (420 × 594 mm).
Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?
Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. Designs made in the online designer are printed exactly as they looked on screen. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. If you have no file, you can build the design for these magnetic signs in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering.
Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?
Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. If you have no file, you can build the design for these magnetic signs in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. Sizes for these magnetic signs go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to 1000 × 600 mm, 4 in all.
I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?
That is why a person looks at every upload before anything is printed. Typical snags are a document at the wrong size, missing bleed, blurry photos and words sitting too near the trim. If we spot one, we explain what to change and you send a fresh file. Or hand it over to us: for £15 our typesetting places your wording and logo on a neat layout, with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Make the artwork for these magnetic signs the same size as the one you order, such as A2 (420 × 594 mm).
Once I finish designing these magnetic signs online, is the file mine to keep?
Two ways. Buy the file on its own: finish your design and pay £9.99 for the print-ready PDF, though you give up the right to cancel as soon as you start downloading it. Or order printing, and a full resolution PDF of the design travels with the order, waiting for you in your confirmation email and under My Account once you have paid. Make the artwork for these magnetic signs the same size as the one you order, such as A2 (420 × 594 mm).
Would Magnetic Van Signs be useful for air conditioning and refrigeration engineers?
For air con and fridge servicing, look under Air Con & Refrigeration in the shop: Magnetic Van Signs are listed there. Prices begin at £18.35; 4 sizes are listed, starting at A2 (420 × 594 mm); they are made from 900µ magnetic sheeting. People buying for that kind of work often add Taxi Magnetic Signs or Heat Pump Service Labels. Put everything in one order and delivery is free at £100 or more.
Do electricians buy Magnetic Van Signs from you?
Yes: Magnetic Van Signs sit in our Electricians section, next to other things electricians buy for rewires, testing and inspections. Prices begin at £18.35. 4 sizes are listed, starting at A2 (420 × 594 mm). They are made from 900µ magnetic sheeting. Also in that section: PAT Test Fail Labels and Caution Overhead Cables Sign. One basket can hold the lot, and delivery is free once the goods reach £100.
I work with builders and contractors. Are these magnetic signs something we could use?
Yes: Magnetic Van Signs sit in our Builders & Construction section, next to other things builders and contractors buy for sites, extensions and renovations. Prices begin at £18.35. 4 sizes are listed, starting at A2 (420 × 594 mm). They are made from 900µ magnetic sheeting. Also in that section: Caution Fragile Roof Sign and A4 Correx Boards. One basket can hold the lot, and delivery is free once the goods reach £100.
Can I take a magnetic sign off my car when I am not working?
You can, and it is one of the handiest ways to use Magnetic Van Signs: a cake seller, a dog walker or a mobile hairdresser can have the sign on for work and off for the school run. Fit it to a flat, clean steel panel, check the edges lie flat, and keep it flat or loosely curved when it is off the car, never folded.
Is it safe to use these magnetic signs on a long motorway run?
With Magnetic Van Signs, a lifted edge is the only real risk: wind gets underneath and peels the sign away. Kept fully flat on clean steel, the sign holds at motorway speed. So check the edges before long drives and after washing the car, and swap out any sign that has cracked or started to curl.
Should I get Magnetic Van Signs, or would Vehicle Magnets suit me better?
Comparing Magnetic Van Signs with Vehicle Magnets, this is what changes. Sizes: 4 on this page, the smallest A2 (420 × 594 mm), and 7 on the other, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm). Opening price: £18.35 on this page and £13.45 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Where do Magnetic Van Signs and A4 Magnetic Signs differ?
Set Magnetic Van Signs beside A4 Magnetic Signs and a few things differ. Sizes: 4 on this page, the smallest A2 (420 × 594 mm), and only A4 (210 × 297 mm) on the other. Opening price: £18.35 on this page and £13.45 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
How would I decide between Taxi Magnetic Signs and Magnetic Van Signs?
Comparing Magnetic Van Signs with Taxi Magnetic Signs, this is what changes. Sizes: 4 on this page, the smallest A2 (420 × 594 mm), and 5 on the other, the smallest A3 (297 × 420 mm). Opening price: £18.35 on this page and £15.09 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Do I have to register before I can buy?
There is no need to sign up. Pay as a guest with a bank card, handled securely by Stripe, and you still get an order confirmation email and a tracking email on dispatch. An account is optional; it just keeps your order history in one place, along with downloads of designs you made online. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each magnetic sign is made to order for you. Sizes for these magnetic signs go from A2 (420 × 594 mm) at the small end to 1000 × 600 mm, 4 in all.
We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?
No. Each design goes into the basket as a separate line with its own file or online design, and you pay for them all in one checkout. Delivery is counted once for the whole order and costs nothing when the goods reach £100. If two lines share the same artwork, pick the artwork option that reuses a file already in your basket, so any design fee is only paid once. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each magnetic sign is made to order for you.
Can I pay for Magnetic Van Signs by card as a guest?
Yes. Guest checkout is fine, and any debit or credit card works. Stripe processes the payment for us, which keeps your card number off our system entirely. We begin making these magnetic signs once the payment has cleared and the artwork is confirmed. Large or out of the ordinary jobs can be quoted first from the Get a quote page. Before delivery, these magnetic signs cost from £18.35.
I am not sure which options to pick for these magnetic signs. Can someone advise me?
Yes. Type your question into the box on this page and a real person replies. Mention where the magnetic sign will be used, how long you need it to last and the date you need it by. Answered questions may be shown on the page for other buyers, so leave personal details out of it. Private questions can go through the Contact page, and anything the options here cannot price can go through the Get a quote page. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each magnetic sign is made to order for you.
I have spotted a typo after paying. Can it be fixed?
Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed. A print that matches your finished design or the file you sent is not a fault, so it pays to read every word and number before you order. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each magnetic sign is made to order for you.
Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?
No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding Magnetic Van Signs to other items does not add a second one. It is £7.95 to a UK mainland address and nothing once the goods total £100 after any discount code. Using the same design on two items? Pick the reuse-artwork option on the second one and you pay the artwork fee just once. Each line keeps its own size and quantity.
Can I send these magnetic signs back if I no longer need them?
If they arrive faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, yes: under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we reprint or refund. A change of mind is different. Each order is made to your specification, and reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 takes those goods out of the 14-day right to cancel. Before production starts, though, you can cancel for all your money back. Before delivery, these magnetic signs cost from £18.35.
The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?
Take photos of the damage and the box it came in, then send them through the contact form within 48 hours of delivery, with your order number. Hold on to the item rather than posting it back; we reply and arrange a reprint or refund. This sits alongside your legal rights, which the returns page covers. Choose Saver and these magnetic signs leave us after 6 working days; Express brings that down to 4. Before delivery, these magnetic signs cost from £18.35.
Bleed and dpi mean nothing to me. Can I still get printing done?
Yes. You do not need any print knowledge to order Magnetic Van Signs. Send us your words and logo with the typesetting option (£15) and we build the layout, then you get a first draft and two rounds of changes. If you would rather make it yourself, the online designer checks the technical side as you go. Whatever you choose, a real person looks at the file before printing.
What details should go on these magnetic signs for a small business or club?
The essentials are your name and logo, a short line about what you offer, and how to reach you: phone, email, website and the area you serve. On a vehicle, the phone number should be the biggest item after the name, since it is read in a moment. Leave some space around everything; a crowded design is harder to take in. You will also find these magnetic signs in our Plumbers & Heating Engineers, Mechanics & Garages, Lifting & Inspection, Gas Engineers, Fire Safety Engineers, Electricians, Builders & Construction and Air Con & Refrigeration sections.
