Car magnets pair flexible magnetic sheeting with a printed, laminated vinyl face, keeping a clean surface on flat metal while shielding the print from abrasion. The construction uses 30 mil (0.030 in) sheeting as standard and a 60 mil heavy-duty gauge for larger, freeway-driven panels. A CMYK digital press lays down full-color graphics at up to 1440 dpi. A gloss or matte UV overlaminate then helps protect the print from sun exposure and routine outdoor wear, with optional reflective vinyl accents for after-dark visibility. The finished sign resists rain and routine washing when properly maintained.
Car magnets fit standard door and panel dimensions, including 18×12 in, 24×18 in, and 12×18 in, and scale up to 24×36 in within the published range. The magnetic sheeting bonds only to smooth, clean, ferrous steel: car doors, truck doors, van panels, and tailgates. The material will not grip aluminum, fiberglass, plastic, or curved and ribbed panels, so a quick household-magnet test confirms compatibility before ordering. Die-cut and contour cutting shape the panel to a logo instead of a plain rectangle.
Car magnets print from properly prepared files. Imagination Works Graphics And Printing accepts PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, JPG, PNG, and HEIC files up to 10 MB each, prepared at 150 dpi at final size and 300 dpi for small text. Files should use CMYK color mode, outlined or embedded fonts, and a 0.125 to 0.25 in bleed with a 0.25 in safe margin. In-house design support and an online design tool cover clients who start from a logo as well as those who need a layout built from scratch.

Standard 30 mil car magnets last 2 to 3 years with regular care, and the 60 mil heavy-duty option is rated for 3 to 5 years of demanding use. The magnetic sheeting holds within a -15°F to 160°F service range. Weekly removal, flat storage, and cleaning during car washes help reduce trapped dirt and moisture that can shorten usable life.
Imagination Works Graphics And Printing builds car magnets on smooth magnetic sheeting that can be used on factory paint in good condition when the magnet and panel remain clean and dry. Trapped dirt or moisture can mark paint, especially on repainted or previously damaged panels. Removing and wiping the magnet on a weekly schedule helps reduce the risk of surface marking.
Car magnets come in common sizes including 12×18 in, 18×24 in, and 24×18 in, with custom dimensions quoted up to 24×36 in. The magnetic sheeting also cuts to custom shapes: rectangular, oval, round corner, square corner, and full die-cut contours. Contour cutting can follow a logo or branded shape instead of using a standard rectangle.
Car magnets adhere to flat, smooth, clean ferrous steel, such as car doors, truck doors, van panels, and tailgates. The sheeting will not grip aluminum, fiberglass, plastic, or curved and ribbed panels. A household magnet held to the surface confirms compatibility in seconds: if it does not hold firmly, a magnetic vehicle sign will not adhere reliably either.
Imagination Works Graphics And Printing accepts PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, JPG, PNG, and HEIC files up to 10 MB each. Artwork should be built at 150 dpi at final size, with 300 dpi preferred for small text, in CMYK color mode. Outlined or embedded fonts and a 0.125 to 0.25 in bleed with a 0.25 in safe margin keep the file press-ready.
A 30 mil car magnet handles everyday door branding on flat steel doors and tailgates, while the 60 mil heavy-duty gauge suits freeway driving, larger panels, and daily-removal fleet use. Both carry a UV overlaminate for outdoor color hold. The 60 mil option provides a thicker magnetic construction for larger panels and more demanding vehicle use.
