In a big and busy city like Chicago, custom car magnets can go above and beyond promoting or representing a product or service for advertising or business purposes.

Our quality .03” thick magnetic material is the perfect, durable surface for any custom print design or contact information for your business while also being able to stick to any car, truck, or van during the harsh winter conditions that Chicago is infamous for.
Why Custom Car Magnets in Chicago Are a Good Idea
As said before, seeing a car or van with car magnets on a busy expressway among all the other blank vehicles is something that the eye just can’t help. Sometimes these vehicles are in traffic and have to be paid attention to for driving safety. Needless to say, it’s the perfect time to present a business and its services. Here are some ways that drivers in Chicago are utilizing their vehicle magnets:
- Magnetic car signs for company vehicles: Whether its a fleet of trucks, vans, or simple cars, custom car magnets can help unify the brand across them in day-to-day operations. Every drive out to a job or delivery becomes exposure to new customers. Seeing a company vehicle at work also helps instill trust in those not familiar with the brand.
- Promotional or awareness campaign: Like refrigerator magnets, ones for cars can be promotional items for an event or awareness campaign. Because of the high number of drivers in Chicago, the road is an effective platform for any marketing.
How to Apply Car Magnets
When magnets stick, they don’t damage the surface. This is what makes car magnets more desirable than sticker decals since they can ruin a vehicle’s paint. Applying magnets on metal surfaces is easy –just place it and allow it to stick. Remove the magnet by simply moving it off the surface. The only thing to keep in consideration with applying car magnets is the temperature. The car or truck should be warmer than room temperature for the ideal stick. The garage or car can be heated up in something like winter in Chicago for the best magnetic grip.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Magnet Design
What is The Best Design Format For a Custom Car Magnet?
A good magnet is all you need to stand out, but what design does that magnet entail? Here are some of the best design elements and formats to keep in mind when designing your custom car magnet:
- Use full branding – The doors of vans and cars are print real estate for the full branding of your business and not a simplified design. A good branding uses clear and eye-catching typeface.
- Include contact information – If a business offers a service on the go, it helps to include the contact number for potential customers within the branding. It also offers an easy pathway for new customers.
- Graphics should be simple – Graphics are encouraged for uniqueness on custom magnets. As with any custom print product, the design should be simple and not overly complex.
Are There Die-Cut Car Magnets?
Yes, die-cut (magnets cut into the shape of the design) is available for custom car magnets. When designing a die-cut magnet, be sure that its dimensions will fill the car door or space reserved for it.
What Happens When a Car Magnet is Cold?
As mentioned before, car magnets are best applied to warm metallic surfaces because they will stick better. A colder surface will cause the magnet to stiffen and can hinder its adherence. If a car magnet is cold then it’s not broken, it just needs to be warmed up.
