Vehicle Magnets Printing

Branding you can take off

Your car earns money in the week and goes to the in-laws on Sunday. Vinyl lettering can't do both; a magnet can. Pop it on in the morning, peel it off before parents' evening, and nobody's the wiser. It suits lease and company cars too, since nothing touches the paintwork permanently, and it's ideal for trying out vehicle advertising before you commit to a full wrap. That flexibility makes vehicle magnets printing a sensible first sign for a sole trader.

Vehicle magnets printing: which page to use

There are seven products, but they're all made the same way from the same sheeting. Some are named after the vehicle, some after the size, so use whichever way you think.

• You drive a car: Car Door Magnetic Signs, in A3 or A2.
• You drive a van: Magnetic Van Signs, in A2.
• You drive a private hire car or cab: Taxi Magnetic Signs, A3 or A2.
• You know the size already: A4, A3 or A2 magnetic signs each have their own page, or pick any of the three on Vehicle Magnets.

What 900µ sheeting means

900 microns is 0.9 mm: thick enough to grip firmly and bendy enough to follow a gentle curve on a door. The print goes straight on the face in full colour. The one catch with vehicle magnets printing is the metal underneath. Magnets only hold on steel. Plenty of modern vehicles use aluminium, plastic or fibreglass for some panels, so run a fridge magnet over the spot before you order.

Choosing a size

A4 is 210 × 297 mm, A3 is 297 × 420 mm and A2 is 420 × 594 mm. Live prices are in the size table near the top of the page. The key is the flat area: measure the flattest bit of the panel, clear of handles, badges and creases in the bodywork. A magnet needs to sit flat all over. If part of it bridges a crease, drop down a size.

Fitting and looking after them

• Fit to a clean, dry panel, not straight after a frosty night.
• Touch the top edge to the door first, then smooth downwards so no air gets trapped.
• Every few days, take them off, wipe and dry the panel and the back of the magnet, and store them flat.
• Take them off before a car wash. Always.
