Custom Car Magnet Printing
Durable Standard and Reflective Options for On-the-Go Advertising
Transform your vehicle into a mobile billboard with our custom car magnets, available in standard and reflective options. Crafted from durable 30mil high-strength matte magnet material, both options are waterproof, UV-safe, and built to withstand the elements for years. The standard car magnet features direct UV printing with a matte finish for vibrant, long-lasting graphics. The reflective car magnet, layered with 4mil engineer-grade reflective vinyl, ensures your design stands out day or night, making it ideal for advertising on the move or updating signage at temporary work sites. With square or 1/2" rounded corners, these magnets are quick to apply, remove, clean, and reapply, offering flexible, high-impact solutions for indoor and outdoor use, from business promotions to event signage.
How do I prepare my car magnet before use?
Upon receiving your car magnet, lay it flat at room temperature for 1-2 days to allow the UV ink to fully bond with the magnet. This ensures optimal durability, especially in extreme weather conditions, before applying it to your vehicle.
How do I apply the car magnet to my vehicle?
Ensure the vehicle surface is flat, smooth, and free of dirt or debris. Place the magnet on the flat metal surface and allow it to magnetize overnight for a secure attachment. Avoid driving until this process is complete to prevent detachment.
Can I use the car magnet on any vehicle surface?
Car magnets work best on flat, smooth, surfaces like steel doors. Some newer vehicles have plastic, aluminum, or non-magnetic surfaces, so verify that your surface where you intend to apply the magnet is receptive before ordering.
Can I take my car with the magnet through a car wash?
No, remove the car magnet before going through a car wash. The high-pressure water, brushes, and chemicals can damage the ink or cause the magnet to detach from your vehicle.
What is the difference between standard and reflective car magnets?
Standard car magnets feature direct UV printing with a matte finish for vibrant daytime visibility. Reflective car magnets include a 4mil engineer-grade reflective vinyl layer, making your design highly visible in low-light or nighttime conditions, perfect for 24/7 advertising, construction sites, night signs, etc.
Can I order a custom size for my car magnet?
If the size you need isn’t listed, select the next available size up and trim it to your desired dimensions. For larger sizes, order multiple pieces and tile them side by side for a seamless look.
Can I print multiple designs on one car magnet sheet?
Yes, you can arrange multiple smaller designs on a single artboard at your chosen size. We’ll print them as one full sheet, and you can trim each design to size after receiving it.
How are car magnets shipped, and how do I prepare them for use?
Car magnets are shipped rolled. Upon receipt, lay them flat at room temperature to naturally flatten out before applying them to your vehicle.
Can I reuse or reposition the car magnet?
Yes, car magnets are designed to be easily applied, removed, cleaned, and reapplied. Ensure the surface is clean each time you reposition the magnet, and allow it to magnetize overnight for optimal adhesion.
What are the corner options for car magnets?
Both standard and reflective car magnets are available with square or 1/2" rounded corners, allowing you to choose the style that best suits your design or application needs.
