10) What factors affect the price of car magnets?
Material Used - We produce your custom car magnet using longest lasting UV cured inks on the highest .8"vechical grade magnetized vinyl for sharp, long lasting promotional signage. But we don't stop there, we also apply a special
UV gloss cold laminated coating, that further protect your advertisement from accidental scratches and UV rays keeping your car magnet bright and vibrant giving you years of promotion.

Don't be fooled by cheap imitations. You may have seen magnets that quickly degrade, fade and adhere to the car. Many cheap imitations sold for car magnets actually use refrigerator magnets. Others have paper coatings that quickly fade and wrinkle.

Size - The larger your car magnet is, the more material used to produce so therefore a larger sizes car magnet costs more than smaller one. With custom sizes sometimes a slight adjustment of size will reduce the overall cost as it will lessen the waste of materials used.

Custom Shape car magnets - When you have a custom shape a knife needs to be made. Knife cost comes down to how many meters of blade is needed to make the shape and how many times the shape is repeated on the block. A average knife 2 up will cost between AU$200 - AU$250.
Quantity Ordered (price breaks) - The more quantity of car magnets you order the more units your set up costs are spread over.

Full Colour - Costs no more!! All our car magnets are printed as a full colour process using superior quality UV inks, picture quality. That is not to say you can't have a one colour car magnet, you can!

11) Are your prices competitive?
Yes! When comparing apples to apples we believe our prices are very competitive. We always put out the highest quality for the same price as our competitors. We will never sacrifice quality for price.

12) How long will car magnets last in the weather?
Our supior car magnets will last between 3-5 years, but we've seen longer. All of our magnetic signs are weatherproof (rain, wind, snow, etc).

13) Are they just for cars?
No, anywhere steel! Put them on doors, mailboxes, refrigerators, dishwashers, desks, washer & dryers.

14) Do you also produce refrigerator magnets?
Our main focus is a quality CAR magnet. We can produce refrigerator grade magnets for existing customers but if that is all a customer is looking for we can suggest other manufacturers.

15) Will a car magnet damage my car?
Don't be fooled by cheap imitations. You may have seen magnets that quickly degrade, fade and adhere to the car. Many cheap imitations sold for car magnets actually use refrigerator magnets. Others have paper coatings that quickly fade and wrinkle. CarMagnets.com.au magnets when used sensibly are safe and will give you years of promotion. Magnets should be removed periodically and when you wash your car and only applied to clean dry metallic surfaces. Please see our General Tips and User Guide for car magnets

16) Will they come of on the highway?
No!! The magnets are highway tested and very strong. Just be sure your magnet is flat against the car so air cannot get underneath ... no air bubbles or turned up corners. (Warning: they will come off in the automated car wash!)

17) Will your magnetic car magnets stick to all vehicles?
No, there are a few specific cars and trucks magnetics will simply not stick to (ie corvettes) due to there being no metal, or low amounts of metal in the doors. There are also situations where there has been work done on the car, bondo or other automotive body repair items, that will make the door no longer magnetic receivable. However, there is a simple way to check if your car door will accept a magnetic. Simply get a magnet that you are certain sticks to something metal (IE your refrigerator) and check if it will stick to your door. Please take care not to scratch your car with this magnet.
