Clean installs and smart safety
For the best hold, apply to clean, dry steel panels—doors and side panels are ideal. Avoid aluminium, plastic or heavily curved areas, and keep clear of trims and mouldings. Remove before automatic car washes or pressure washing, wipe dry after heavy rain, and store flat when not in use. Simple habits = long service life.
Sized, paired and ready for your fleet
Order popular door sizes around 600 × 270 mm, go larger for vans and utes, or choose compact formats for toolboxes and site gear.

Magnetic Signs Q&A
Where Magnetic Signs Will and Won’t Work
Magnetic signs are practical, but they need the right vehicle surface.
They work best on clean, smooth, flat or gently curved steel panels. Car doors and side panels are usually the most suitable areas, provided the surface is clean and in good condition.
Magnetic signs generally do not work well on:
- aluminium panels
- plastic panels
- fibreglass panels
- heavily curved surfaces
- textured or uneven panels
- repaired panels with non-steel filler
- areas with thick mouldings, trims or sharp curves
- freshly painted vehicles before the paint has fully cured
If you are unsure whether your vehicle is suitable, test the surface with a fridge magnet or send us photos of the vehicle panel. If magnets are not the best option, we can suggest vinyl lettering, decals or other vehicle signage.
Popular Sizes, Pairs and Fleet Sets
Magnetic signs can be made in custom sizes to suit your vehicle and design.
- 600 × 300mm: A common size for car doors, utes and vans.
- 600 × 270mm: Another popular door-friendly size depending on the vehicle panel.
- Custom sizes: Available for vans, utes, trucks, toolboxes and other suitable steel surfaces.
- Vehicle-grade magnetic sheeting: options around 0.8–0.85mm (great for car doors and side panels)
- Rounded corners: Recommended to help reduce edge lift and improve durability on vehicles.
- Matt or gloss lamination: Optional Vehicle Grade lamination can help protect the print from scuffs, weather and daily handling.
- Driver and passenger pairs: Most vehicle magnets are ordered as matching left and right side signs.
- Fleet sets: Consistent sizing, layout and branding across multiple vehicles for a cleaner fleet appearance.
Benefits of Magnetic Signs
Magnetic signs give your business visibility without permanently changing the vehicle. They are ideal when you need branding during work hours but want the option to remove it later.
They are especially useful for tradies, mobile services, contractors, sales teams, real estate agents, delivery vehicles and businesses that use shared or leased vehicles.
Vehicle magnets are also flexible. You can update them when your branding, phone number, website or offer changes, and you can move them between suitable steel vehicles where the size and panel shape allow.
Compared with permanent decals or wraps, magnetic signs are a cost-effective way to create professional vehicle branding for short-term or removable use.
When designed clearly, magnetic car signs can help people recognise your business on the road, at job sites, outside appointments and across local Sydney suburbs.
What to Consider Before Ordering Magnetic Signs
Before ordering magnetic signs, start with the vehicle surface. Magnets need smooth steel panels and may not work on aluminium, plastic, fibreglass or heavily curved areas.
Think about the size of the vehicle panel. A sign that works on a car door may not be the best size for a van, ute, truck or toolbox.
Readability matters. Your logo, service and phone number should be large enough to read quickly from a short distance.
Keep the design simple. Magnetic signs are usually seen while the vehicle is moving or parked on the street, so a clear message is more effective than a crowded layout.
Rounded corners are recommended because they can help reduce edge lift and improve durability.
If the vehicle is washed often, parked outdoors or used in harsh conditions, regular cleaning and correct storage will help the magnets perform better.
If you need permanent branding, curved panel coverage, window graphics or a full vehicle wrap, vinyl decals or vehicle signage may be more suitable.
Artwork Setup for Magnetic Car Signs
Magnetic car signs need to be readable quickly in traffic. The best designs are simple, bold and easy to understand at a glance.
Use your logo, core service, phone number, website and a short message. Avoid crowding the sign with long service lists, tiny text or too many contact details.
Strong contrast is important. Dark text on a light background or light text on a dark background will usually read better than low-contrast colours.
A print-ready PDF is best, supplied at the correct finished size with bleed, CMYK colour, high-resolution images and fonts embedded or outlined.
If you need help, our design team can create magnetic sign artwork or adjust your supplied file so it works better on a moving vehicle.
Design tips for magnetic signs that read fast
- Keep the headline short: service + suburb or service + key benefit
- Use high contrast and bold fonts so it’s readable at a glance
- Include one clear action: phone or website (not both, unless space allows)
- Prioritise logo, service, and contact details over long lists
- Leave margin near edges so important text doesn’t feel cramped
Care Instructions for Vehicle Magnets
Magnetic signs last longer when they are applied, removed and stored correctly.
- Apply to a clean, dry surface: Dirt, dust and moisture can reduce hold and may mark the vehicle surface.
- Clean the magnet and vehicle regularly: Remove the magnet every few days and wipe both the vehicle panel and back of the magnet.
- Remove before car washes: Take magnets off before automatic car washes, pressure washing or heavy cleaning.
- Remove after heavy rain: Wipe the vehicle and magnet dry to avoid trapped moisture.
- Store flat: Keep magnets flat when not in use. Do not fold, crease or roll them tightly.
- Avoid damaged or fresh paint: Do not apply magnets to freshly painted, damaged, repaired or unsuitable vehicle surfaces.
- Check edges before driving: Make sure corners and edges are sitting flat before the vehicle is used.
