Magnetics

WOOD IMAGE Primarily used for advertising on the side of vehicles. It is flexible and will conform to the gentle curves of cars and trucks. They are removable and will provide years of cost effective advertising as long as they are properly cared for. When sizing your vehicle for the signs be sure that they will not be placed over any trim or molding. Any air going under the magnetic may cause them to blow off when driving. We provide a proper care brochure that will tell you how to take care of these signs.
