Magnetic signs are a popular, flexible marketing tool for both businesses and consumers. They’re easy to apply and remove from metallic surfaces without damaging them, making them a convenient solution for temporary displays. But even the best magnetic signs need proper care to last a long time and prevent damage to the surface to which they are applied.
Depending on how you use them, magnetic signs come in various shapes and sizes, from squares to custom-cut circles. They can also be printed in two or more colors or with a branded design. The most common use for a magnetic sign is on a vehicle to promote a business or service, but they can be used to display information in offices and other places where a permanent sign might not be feasible.
The most important consideration when choosing a magnetic sign is its pull strength. The higher the pull strength, the more stable and reliable it is. The strength of a magnetic sign is measured in grams per inch or centimeter (g/in) or kilograms per cm. Our 30 mil EnduraMAG magnetic sheeting has a measured pull strength of 41.5 g/cm, which is plenty for a vehicle graphic that might be subject to highway speeds.
When mounting a magnetic sign, the surface it is mounted to must be ferromagnetic. The surface should also be clean, free of rust spots or dents. The surface to which the magnet is attached should be regularly wiped with a cloth dampened with lukewarm water and rubbing alcohol to keep it free of dirt, grime, and grease. magnetic signs
