Magnetic Signs – Flexible and Economic Advertising For Your Business
March 16th, 2010 Filed under: Uncategorized — Advertising Author
There are several ways to use your car, truck or van as part of your business advertising.
- Have your vehicle wrapped with signage
- Have signage painted on the exterior of your vehicle
- Use magnetic signs
If you have your vehicle wrapped or the signage painted on, you do not have the capability of taking it off when using the vehicle for other than business. With the magnets, you have that capability.
Magnets have some additional benefits that wraps and painted signage do not.
- They are more economical than wraps or painted signage
- You can easily move the signs from one vehicle to another.
- You don’t have to replace the signage if you replace the vehicle
- When properly taken care of, they will last for years without noticeable wear and loss of appeal.
Most signs available today are made from 30 mil heavy duty magnetic material and generally come in a glossy finish. While being best suited for vehicle signage, they have multiple other uses including:
- Temporary signage for construction sites
- Temporary signage for events including directions, safety reminders and more
- Temporary outdoor advertising when the signs are taken down and replaced on a daily basis
There are two areas of caution with the magnetic signage. They will not stick to some of today’s aluminum vehicle doors. You need to do a test with a small magnet on the surface before making the commitment to using them. They are not intended for smaller sized text or borders around the sign.
Most magnetic signs are intended for outdoor usage, The inks used are formulated and UV cured for outdoor use.
They are available in one sided, full color printing and typically available in the following sizes (dimensions can be height or width, e.g. (9″ x 12″ can be 9″ H x 12″ W or 9″ W x 12″ H):
- 9″ x 9″
- 9″ x 12″
- 9″ x 18″

- 12″ x 12″
- 12″ x 18″
- 12″ x 24″
- 18″ x 24″
- 24″ x 24″
