Magnets

Custom Vehicle Magnets for Tampa Businesses

Turn compatible cars, trucks, vans, and work vehicles into removable advertising displays with custom Magnets from OneStop. We provide full-color car magnet printing for Tampa contractors, service companies, delivery businesses, real estate professionals, landscapers, cleaning companies, restaurants, and mobile businesses.

Vehicle magnets provide a practical way to display a company logo, phone number, website, services, or promotional message without permanently applying graphics to the vehicle.

High-Strength 30mil Magnetic Material

Each graphic is produced from durable 30mil magnetic material with a smooth matte surface. The flexible magnetic sheet is designed to attach to compatible flat steel surfaces while remaining easy to remove when the graphic is no longer needed.

The strength of the attachment depends on the vehicle material, surface shape, paint condition, magnet size, installation, cleanliness, and maintenance.

Full-Color Direct UV Printing

Your artwork is printed directly onto the magnetic surface using full-color UV printing. This process produces clear logos, text, photographs, gradients, and branded backgrounds with a durable matte graphic appearance.

The printed magnet is waterproof and UV-safe for properly maintained indoor or outdoor use. Exposure, cleaning, road conditions, handling, and storage affect its appearance and service life.

Removable Vehicle Advertising

Custom car magnets make it easy to add business branding during work hours and remove it when the vehicle is used personally. They are also useful for temporary promotions, seasonal services, replacement vehicles, subcontractor identification, and short-term project signage.

Unlike permanent decals, magnets can be removed, cleaned, stored flat, and reapplied to another compatible position or magnetic surface.

Custom Sizes up to 36 × 96 Inches

Magnets are available in custom dimensions up to 36 × 96 inches. Smaller sizes are commonly used on car and truck doors, while larger panels may be suitable for compatible vans, equipment, metal cabinets, or temporary jobsite displays.

Measure the intended application area before ordering. The full magnet must rest on a smooth, flat magnetic surface without extending across body seams, trim, molding, curves, handles, or non-magnetic panels.

Straight or Rounded Corners

Choose straight corners for a traditional rectangular shape or rounded corners for a softer finished appearance.

Rounded corners may also reduce exposed points that can catch during handling. Keep important text, logos, and contact details away from all finished edges and corner areas.

Vehicle Surface Compatibility

Vehicle magnets attach only to compatible magnetic metal surfaces. Some newer vehicle doors, body panels, tailgates, and exterior parts are made from aluminum, plastic, fiberglass, composites, or other non-magnetic materials.

Before ordering, test the exact installation area using a household magnet. Test several points because different sections of the same vehicle may use different materials.

Vehicle decals or removable adhesive graphics may be a better option for non-magnetic surfaces.

Temporary Jobsite and Equipment Signs

Magnetic signs can also be used on compatible steel equipment, job boxes, cabinets, machinery, warehouse surfaces, temporary construction areas, and other changing work environments.

The removable format allows businesses to update branding, safety information, department identification, or project details without permanently altering the surface.

Recommended Business Applications

Custom Magnets are suitable for contractors, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, cleaning companies, mobile detailers, delivery services, real estate professionals, repair businesses, catering companies, and other local service providers.

A clear design should focus on the business name, primary service, phone number, website, and one simple call to action.

Free custom design service is available with qualifying orders. Upload print-ready artwork or request assistance creating an easy-to-read vehicle magnet layout. Direct UV printing and finishing are included with standard production, so same-day rush service is not required to receive professional-quality results.

Vehicle Magnet Design Tips

• Use a large business name or logo as the primary element.
• Keep the service description short and focused.
• Use a large phone number that can be read quickly.
• Include a short website address when useful.
• Use strong contrast between text and background colors.
• Avoid long service lists and small paragraphs.
• Upload vector logos whenever possible.
• Use high-resolution photographs only when they remain clear at the final size.

Viewing Distance

• Design the magnet for quick viewing from nearby vehicles and pedestrians.
• Use simple typography without thin or decorative details.
• Limit the layout to the most important contact and service information.
• Print a reduced proof and check whether the message remains easy to understand.

Corner and Edge Safety

• Keep important text, logos, phone numbers, and QR codes away from all finished edges.
• Allow additional clearance when rounded corners are selected.
• Avoid thin borders that require exact alignment with the magnet perimeter.
• Use background colors or nonessential artwork around the outer edges.

Choosing the Magnet Size

• Measure the flat magnetic area of the vehicle before creating artwork.
• Leave clearance around door handles, seams, trim, badges, and body curves.
• Do not design the magnet to bridge two separate body panels.
• Use the same finished dimensions for matching driver- and passenger-side magnets.
• Confirm that both vehicle sides provide equal usable space.

Color and Production Notes

• Convert the final artwork to CMYK before uploading.
• Monitor colors may differ from the finished UV-printed magnet.
• Do not rely on unconverted Pantone or spot colors for exact matching.
• Very dark artwork should retain sufficient contrast and shadow detail.
• Low-resolution images may appear soft or pixelated when enlarged.
• Minor cutting and surface variations may occur during custom magnet production.

Vehicle Magnet Installation and Care

Before Installation

1. Test the surface: Use a household magnet to confirm that the exact installation area is magnetic.
2. Inspect the panel: Confirm that the surface is smooth, flat, and free from damage, rust, filler, or loose paint.
3. Clean the vehicle: Wash and dry both the vehicle surface and the magnetic back.
4. Check the temperature: Install only when the surface and magnet are dry and suitable for application.

Installation Instructions

1. Choose the position: Place the magnet away from seams, molding, trim, curves, and handles.
2. Apply one edge: Align one side of the magnet with the selected area.
3. Lower it gradually: Allow the remaining magnet to contact the surface smoothly.
4. Flatten the graphic: Press gently from the center toward the edges.
5. Check every edge: Confirm that the full perimeter sits flat against the vehicle.
6. Leave it overnight: Allow the magnet to magnetize to the vehicle before driving.

Before Driving

• Check that every edge and corner remains completely flat.
• Remove the magnet if any part is loose, curled, lifted, or damaged.
• Do not drive with a magnet that crosses body seams, trim, or curved areas.
• Recheck attachment after cleaning, repositioning, or extended storage.

Regular Cleaning

• Remove the magnet regularly to clean the vehicle and magnetic back.
• Use mild soap, water, and a soft cloth.
• Allow both surfaces to dry completely before reapplication.
• Remove dirt, moisture, dust, and debris that may collect underneath.
• Avoid abrasive pads, scrapers, strong solvents, and harsh chemicals.

Vehicle Washing

• Remove the magnet before using an automatic car wash.
• Remove it before pressure washing or applying wax and detailing products.
• Clean and dry the vehicle surface before reapplying the magnet.

Storage

• Clean and dry the magnet before storage.
• Store it flat against a clean steel surface or on a flat supportive backing.
• Do not fold, crease, tightly roll, or place heavy objects on it.
• Keep the printed face away from sharp and abrasive objects.
• Store indoors in a clean, dry location.

Frequently Asked Questions

What material are the Magnets made from?

They are produced from high-strength 30mil matte magnetic material with full-color direct UV printing.

Will a vehicle magnet work on every car?

No. It requires a compatible magnetic metal surface. Aluminum, plastic, fiberglass, composite, and some repaired body panels will not hold the magnet properly.

How can I test my vehicle before ordering?

Place a household magnet on the exact location where the custom graphic will be installed. Test several points because different vehicle panels may use different materials.

What is the maximum magnet size?

Custom dimensions are available up to 36 × 96 inches. The actual usable size depends on the available flat magnetic surface.

Can I choose rounded corners?

Yes. Straight and rounded corner options are available.

Can vehicle magnets be removed and reused?

Yes. They can be removed, cleaned, stored flat, and reapplied to a compatible magnetic surface when properly maintained.

Why should the magnet remain on the vehicle overnight?

Allowing it to magnetize to the vehicle overnight before driving helps establish full contact. Always inspect the entire perimeter before using the vehicle.

Can I take the vehicle through a car wash with the magnet attached?

No. Remove the magnet before automatic washing, pressure washing, waxing, or vehicle detailing.

What should I use on a non-magnetic vehicle panel?

A compatible removable or permanent vehicle decal may be a better choice for aluminum, plastic, fiberglass, or other non-magnetic surfaces.
