Custom Car Magnets by Shape

Our intuitive tool allows users to create designs in custom shapes. Whether you opt to have the magnets cut into the shape of your design or in a standard square, we can make it happen. Just be sure to choose your desired shape before placing your order. 

We use state-of-the-art cutting machines for all our products. Rest assured that your car and truck magnets will be cut into the exact shape you desire. Your final product will have precisely cut edges with a neat and professional appearance. 

• Rounded Cut

The default option we offer for car and truck magnets is a rounded cut. Here the 90° corners of square or rectangle shape are rounded at a 1/4"-1/2" radius, depending on the size you choose. We recommend going with this option so that your sign will have a more aerodynamic design and stick better to your car’s body. You can rest assured that your magnetic car prints will stay put even during windy weather and high speeds.

• Square/Rectangle Cut

With this option, your business car magnets will have 90° corners with pointed edges. This cutting option will give your magnets for trucks, vans and other types of vehicles a sharp and bold appearance. They’ll be sure to capture the attention of other drivers and passengers. Although the rounded cutting option is recommended for this medium, the choice mainly depends on the look you want to achieve.

• Circle/Oval Cut

Oval or round car magnets also stick well to the car body and have a unique appearance. They make for the perfect car logo magnetas the shape creates a focal point. When you create or restyle your design with our tool, make sure no important design elements or other details will be left out when we cut the magnet in a circle or oval shape. You can request digital proofs prior to production to avoid any potential mistakes with the final product. 

• Outline Cut

Do you want your car or truck magnets to have a custom shape? Get them outline-cut with elaborate forms by selecting the option in our tool. Keep in mind, however, that too many inward pointed corners will make the magnetic pull weaker when driving at high speeds. Most car logo magnets should hold up fine as long as their shape is not too elaborate. Whatever you decide, we’ll ensure that your car magnet is cut in the precise shape of your design with no details being left out.

• Overline Cut

Add a matte white border of 1/4" - 1/2" around your design and get it cut into your desired shape with the overline cutting option. Keep in mind that the size of the border will be included in the size you choose for your magnet. In case you want a border in any other color, you’ll need to include it in your design and choose the outline cutting option. 

Material for Custom Car Magnets 

As you may already know, magnets don’t stick to all materials or even all metals. We won’t go into any scientific details but the main metal that attracts them and is used in car body manufacturing is steel. The second most widely used material for cars is aluminum, which doesn’t have magnetic properties. Please verify that this product is the right choice for your vehicle before placing an order. 

The material we use for the product is a 30mil thick magnet which is durable but thin enough to be used for car graphics. It has an impressive magnetic pull of 90lbs/sq ft or 439kg/sq m. It has an additional printable vinyl sheet of around 2mil thickness on the front surface. The vinyl is white and has a matte finish. 

Printing for Custom Car Magnets

Your design is directly printed onto the vinyl sheeting that covers the front-facing surface of vehicle magnets. We use premium UV-resistant inks and machines for car magnet printing. Our machinery allows for full-color printing to ensure your business car magnets have deep graphics that are attention grabbing for your prospects.

Inks are UV-cured to ensure a long lifespan of up to five years for your graphics even when they’re exposed to sunlight and the elements. Design car magnets online with our sign-making platform. We’ll take on all the hassle of manufacturing and have them quickly shipped to your doorsteps.

Graphics for Non-Magnetic Car Bodies

Although steel is the most used metal for vehicle frames, there are a few non-magnetic options in the market as well. Aluminum is the most popular one. Since you can’t stick these products to aluminum, we do have another solution for you.

Custom car decals are a popular choice with an adhesive backing. With this product, you don’t have to consider speed restrictions or surface curves and can display graphics of any size. The downside is that this product is not reusable.

If you’re unsure of the magnetism of your vehicle’s body surface, you can test it with a simple magnetic item like fridge decor in a few seconds. If the product sticks to the application area, you can rest assured that our vehicle magnets will also work. 

Care for Custom Car Magnets 

The application, removal and storage for this product are very simple. If you want to extend its lifespan, you can follow the instructions below to ensure proper care. 

Make sure both the product and application surfaces are clean and dust-free before every application. Washing the back of the product with mild detergent and warm water is recommended. However, make sure both surfaces are completely dry before application. 

Clean and reapply your vehicle magnets every time after rain and snowfall or in case of humid weather conditions. This will prevent moisture from getting stored between the graphics and your car body. Even if the weather is dry, remove and wipe the dust off often to prevent scratching the car surface. Once or twice a week is optimal. 

Always remove the graphics before entering a car wash. Although car advertising magnets are waterproof, the chemicals used during washing may damage the printed graphics. 

It’s highly recommended to store the product completely flat. However, if you do need to roll it, the printed surface should face outward to avoid wrinkles.

Please be advised that without following these simple care instructions, there is a minor risk of damage to the car paint and product graphics.    

How to Prevent Magnetic Car Signs from Falling Off

The pulling power of car magnets is relatively strong. It’s tested for up to 80mph speeds under normal weather conditions. To reach the maximum bond between this product and the application area, make sure that the print lays flat on the vehicle. Choose a completely flat surface and clean as described above to avoid the chance of moisture, dust or air bubbles from developing underneath the graphics.

We recommend a rounded cut for this product as it reduces wind resistance and allows for better adhesion. We don’t recommend the use of this non-adhesive medium on the hood, roof or other horizontal surfaces of the vehicle. These areas have higher exposure to high wind resistance, increasing the possibility of the product coming off.

Custom Car Magnets FAQ

What’s the best cutting option for car magnets?

We recommend choosing the rounded cut option for custom car magnets to achieve the best bond between the print and the body of the car. This is a more aerodynamic design which will ensure that the wind won’t blow your car magnet off at high speeds.

What’s the maximum speed I can drive my car without the car magnets falling off?

The maximum speed we guarantee for this product to stay put is 80mph (128.74 kph) under normal weather conditions. Keep in mind that this doesn’t take into account high winds blowing in the opposite of your driving direction. Avoid placing the product on horizontal car surfaces like the hood and roof to minimize wind resistance.

Do you offer vehicle magnets in custom shapes?

Yes, we can cut your vehicle magnet in practically any shape you like. Keep in mind that the more inward pointed corners your car magnet has, the easier it will get blown off due to reduced aerodynamics. We recommend getting the default cut with rounded corners to ensure optimal durability for your magnetic vehicle signs. 

Will car magnets damage the paint on my vehicle?

This non-adhesive product itself is harmless for your car paint, whether it’s new or old. To reduce any risk of damage to the body of your car from improper usage, you should take care of the product by following instructions for how to install, remove and clean it properly. 

How can I install my car magnets properly?

Make sure both the application surface and the product are clean and dust-free. Choose the flattest area since the magnet won’t stick well to curved surfaces. Place the product onto the area of application and check if the whole surface has securely adhered to the vehicle body. Change the position if any edges stick out to prevent the risk of your magnet being blown off by wind resistance.

How can I care for my car magnet signs?

Make sure to remove the sign and clean it along with the application area once or twice a week. Remove and dry both surfaces after rain and snowfall. Don’t slide the car magnet when removing it to prevent any dust stored underneath from scratching the surface of your car. Read more details above in the “Care for Custom Car Magnets” section. 

How should I store car magnets?

Place the magnet on a smooth surface and cover it with a soft cloth. Don’t roll or fold it in order to avoid wrinkles on the printed side. If you must roll the graphics for transportation or storage, make sure you do so gently and evenly with the printed side facing outwards. 

Should I remove the car magnets when washing the car?

Yes, you should remove them before you enter a car wash. Otherwise, you risk moisture being stored between the car and the product as well as having the graphics damaged by abrasive brushes and chemicals.
