Magnetic Van Signage Guide

Great for short-term campaigns or when you need to be flexible with your vehicle graphics, Magnetic Signage is an ideal solution; from Tradesman to Driving Instructors, many businesses benefit from this easy to apply and remove option.

Why do people opt for magnets over vehicle graphics?

Most people will choose permanent graphics if the vehicle will be used solely for business purposes, so the flexibility of being able to add and remove graphics will not be necessary. However, there are a select few clients who benefit from the temporary nature of magnets. Those who use their vehicle both for business and pleasure may enjoy the novelty of being able to “clock off” from work by removing their business graphics at the end of a day’s work. Also, for those who regularly change over their vehicles (i.e. long distance/high mileage jobs), magnetic graphics can be a more cost-effective solution over having to get new vehicle graphics on each new vehicle that they exchange.

What is the process for getting vehicle magnets?

You are more than welcome to come to us with your own artwork (in PDF or AI format) or alternatively, one of our experienced designers will draft up a proposal according to your specifications. If you are after custom sizes, we will ask you to bring your vehicle by, so we are able to measure up and draft your design accurately. After you have proofed the final design, we will have it made up on site and you will be able to collect your finished custom magnets from 48 hours after you have placed the order.
