Magnets
Get answers about our magnetic car signs and their uses.
Is a car door magnet safe to take through the car wash?
Although the magnets are weatherproof, we recommend removing car door magnets before entering a car wash. The water pressure and brushes can be strong enough to remove the magnets from your vehicle.
Why do large car magnets have rounded corners?
The first place that magnetic signs can have a problem adhering to a vehicle is the corners. Over time, the corners may "flag up," creating the possibility for air and water to get underneath, which can cause the magnet to not adhere well. Rounding the corners helps prevent this problem.
What should I check before ordering a custom magnet?
Some newer vehicles are made with aluminum, carbon fiber, or plastic body panels that are not magnetic. Because of this, custom magnets may not stick to certain parts of your vehicle.
Before placing your order, we strongly recommend testing your application surface with a refrigerator magnet. If the magnet doesn’t stick, our custom magnet won’t either.
Checking ahead of time ensures you get the right product for your needs.
Why should I clean my car door magnet every day?
Magnetic vinyls can cause permanent damage to painted surfaces unless properly maintained, which includes daily removal. Please visit the Car Magnet Cleaning Instructions page for magnetic cleaning and care instructions.
Will magnetic sheeting stick to any surface?
Magnetic sheeting will stick to flat, magnetic metal surfaces like car doors, refrigerators, filing cabinets, and lockers. It won’t adhere to non-metal surfaces like aluminum, fiberglass, or plastic.
Is magnetic sheeting weatherproof?
Yes, our magnets are outdoor-rated. The magnetic material is backed with a UV-laminated vinyl face, making it resistant to rain, sunlight, and road debris. It’s ideal for temporary outdoor use like car advertising or promotional signage.
Can magnetic signs be used on vehicles?
Yes, magnetic sheeting is often used for car magnets. However, it's important to apply them only to clean, flat, magnetic surfaces and remove them regularly to prevent moisture buildup. They’re not recommended for high-speed driving or permanent use.
What types of custom magnets use magnetic sheeting?
You’ll find this material used in our full range of custom magnets, including die cut magnets, car door magnets, and a variety of other custom magnetic products.
What kind of material are custom magnets made from?
Our custom magnets are made from flexible magnetic sheeting that’s 30 mil (0.030") thick. Each magnet features a full-color printed vinyl surface with a gloss UV laminate for added durability and weather resistance.
Are custom magnets easy to remove?
Absolutely. Magnetic signs are fully removable and reusable. They can be repositioned multiple times without damaging the surface underneath—just make sure both the surface and magnet are clean for best results.
