Magnetic Signs
A magnetic sign is the one piece of vehicle branding you can take off at the end of the working day. It goes on in seconds, comes off in seconds, and it's the option we point people to when the car or van is used for both business and personal use.
We've been making signs since 1982, and magnetics get the same full service as everything else we make: designed by our team, checked on a photo of your own vehicle, made, and kept on file so the next set matches the first.
When a magnetic sign is the right call
Magnetics aren't a cut-down van wrap. They solve a different problem: branding that has to come off.
The car is also the family car
Branding goes on for the working day and comes off for the weekend, which is the whole point of a magnetic sign on a car that does both jobs.
The vehicle is leased
Magnetics belong to our lease-friendly removable range, so nothing permanent goes onto a vehicle you have to hand back.
A promotion with an end date
Short-term promotional vehicle graphics are one of the jobs magnetics do best: run the offer, then take it off.
A first step into vehicle branding
They are a cost-effective option, which makes them a sensible start before you decide whether a van deserves full livery.
Magnetic sign or applied vinyl?
Vehicle branding runs from a pair of magnetic panels at one end to a full colour-change wrap at the other. Here's how the two ends compare.
| Magnetic sign | Applied vinyl or wrap | |
|---|---|---|
| Putting it on and taking it off | Applied and removed in seconds | Applied by our team; removable, but not something you take off each evening |
| Business and personal use | Made for exactly that | Better for vehicles that are always on business |
| How long it's meant to stay | As long as you want it on that day | 3M and Avery cast vinyl wraps typically last 5 to 7 years with care |
| Getting it made | Magnetic signs ship within a week | A full van wrap typically takes 2 to 3 days to fit |
| Matching a fleet | Made from templates so every panel matches | Templates made for your vehicle models |
If the van is always on business and you want the whole thing working for you, look at vehicle graphics and van wraps or read van wrap vs part wrap vs lettering.
How a set of magnetics gets made
- 1
Send us the vehicle
A photo of the side of the car or van and your logo is enough to start. WhatsApp them to 07778 278 430 or call 0800 454 613, and we give same-day quotes.
- 2
See it on your own vehicle
Your design goes onto a photograph of the real car or van. You approve what you see before anything is made.

Made and sent
Once the design is approved, magnetic signs ship within a week.

Kept on file
We keep your artwork on file, so a replacement or a second set for a new vehicle comes from the same files as the first.
Magnetics for more than one vehicle
For fleets we make magnetic vehicle signs and removable fleet livery from templates, so the panels match across every vehicle rather than drifting from van to van.
Because the system is removable, it can be refreshed without affecting the paintwork underneath. That suits fleets on lease, and businesses whose phone number, offer or branding is likely to change.
Magnetic panels off the road
The same idea — change the message without replacing the sign — turns up across the premises we sign.
Estate agency windows
Property cards printed as inserts that sit on magnetic tracks in the window. A new listing takes branch staff under a minute.
Estate agent signageBar and tap-list boards
A new guest ale shouldn't need a new sign. Magnetic-track boards let the bar team change the tap list in seconds.
Pub and bar signageSalon price lists
When prices go up, only the panel changes. We make salon price boards with slide-in or magnetic panels for exactly that.
Hairdresser signageOffice door and room signs
Door and room signs built as modular systems: swap a panel, move a magnetic name plate, slide between available and occupied.
Office and interior signageCommunity event boards
This week's classes and next week's events on one board, updated in seconds using magnetic-track or slide-in inserts.
Library and community signageMenu cases
Lockable menu cases with magnetic closures, to keep menus protected from weather and tampering.
Menu casesWe also make magnetic A-board inserts, so a pavement board can carry this week's offer and next week's without new hardware.
Magnetic sign questions
Will a magnetic sign damage my paintwork?
Magnetics are part of our removable range, which is designed to be refreshed without affecting the paintwork underneath. That is the reason people choose them for leased vehicles and the family car.
How quickly can I have magnetic signs?
We give same-day quotes, and once the design is approved magnetic signs ship within a week.
Are magnetic signs cheaper than van graphics?
They are a cost-effective option compared with applied vinyl. The right choice depends on your budget, your brand and how long you'll keep the vehicle, and we'll talk that through with you when we quote.
Can you match them to the graphics on my other vehicles?
Yes. If we already hold your artwork, the magnetic set is made from the same files, and fleet panels are made from templates so they match vehicle to vehicle.
Do you make magnetic signs for anything other than vehicles?
Yes: magnetic window inserts for estate agents, magnetic-track boards for bars and community venues, magnetic price panels, magnetic name plates for office doors, and magnetic A-board inserts.
Can I order from outside your local area?
Yes. We work across the whole UK, and magnetic signs are sent out once made, so you don't need to be near one of our offices.
