Magnetic Vehicle Signs

FAQ's

• What are magnetic vehicle signs?

  Magnetic vehicle signs are advertising graphics or messages printed on magnetic material that can be easily attached to and removed from the metal surfaces of vehicles. They provide a temporary and versatile solution for promoting businesses on the go.

• How do magnetic vehicle signs adhere to vehicles?

  These signs are made of a magnetic material that adheres to ferrous metals, such as steel. The magnetic bond is strong enough to stay securely in place during normal driving conditions but is also semi-permanent, allowing for easy removal without damaging the vehicle’s body panels.

• Are there any vehicle restrictions for using magnetic signs?

  Magnetic signs are compatible with vehicles that have ferrous metal body panels, typically made of steel. It’s essential to ensure that your vehicle’s body panels are magnetic before purchasing these signs, as they may not adhere well to non-ferrous materials like carbon fiber or fiberglass.

• Will magnetic signs stick to aluminium surfaces?

  Pure aluminum lacks magnetic properties, but it can be made magnetic by incorporating iron or steel. It is recommended to inspect your surface before placing an order to ensure compatibility.

• Where can magnetic vehicle signs be placed on a vehicle?

  Magnetic vehicle signs can be affixed to various metal surfaces on a vehicle, including the bonnet, side doors, or the back. This flexibility allows for customizable placement to maximise visibility and impact.

• What sizes are available for magnetic vehicle signs?

  Standard magnetic signs include A5, A4, A3, A2, and A1 sizes. However, custom sizes are available with a maximum size of 1m x 1m.

• Are magnetic vehicle signs weather-resistant?

  Yes, magnetic vehicle signs are designed to be weather-resistant. They can withstand exposure to elements like rain and sunlight without losing their adhesive properties or fading over time.

• What is weather shield lamination on magnetic vehicles?

  Weather shield lamination on magnetic vehicles refers to a protective coating applied to the magnetic surface, enhancing durability and shielding against various weather conditions. This layer helps prevent damage from exposure to rain, sun, and other environmental elements, ensuring the longevity of the magnetic vehicle signage.

• Can magnetic vehicle signs be customised in terms of size?

  Certainly! A magnetic routing machine can precisely custom shape cut to nearly any desired size or shape.

• Are there any speed limitations for using magnetic vehicle signs?

  While it’s not entirely unheard of for magnetic signs to become dislodged during high-speed travel, adhering to the authorised national speed limit should generally keep magnetic signs securely in place. Ensure the sign is firmly affixed to a flat surface of the vehicle, pressing down on all four edges for added stability. It’s crucial to periodically remove and clean the magnetic sign to prevent the accumulation of dirt and condensation between the magnetic surface and the car body, as this buildup can diminish the overall grip over time.

• Can magnetic signs cause damage to the bodywork of a vehicle?

  Regularly removing and reapplying the sign to a clean surface should prevent any scratches or damage. Another important reason to adopt this practice consistently is to avoid the permanent bonding of the sign to the vehicle’s bodywork. In the event of such bonding, a heat gun or hair dryer can be used to gently lift a corner of the magnetic sign while applying heat carefully, allowing for the gradual and cautious removal of the entire sign.

• Which is better for magnetic vehicle signs, square or rounded corners?

  Choosing between square-cut or rounded corners for magnetic vehicle signs is largely a matter of personal preference or branding aesthetics, and both options offer similar functionality in terms of adhesion and visibility. Ultimately, it depends on the desired visual appeal and style alignment with your business branding.

• What is the method of attaching magnetic vehicle signs?

  When in proximity, the magnetic sign will effortlessly adhere to the metal surface of a vehicle. However, for optimal adhesion, it is advisable to clean the vehicle surface before attachment.
