Van Magnets

[Gaskell]

I have a pre 2003 model Mercedes Vito van and I'm looking to get van magnets for it. I would get the van wrapped but I'm looking to get possibly another Vito in the summer so magnets would be more suitable.

Does anyone on here print them or know any good places to try, I looked at Vistaprint but they are too small, I want a magnet to fit a whole van panel either side of the van.


Cheers

I'm not sure if you can get them made that large to cover a whole side panel.

I thought about magnets, but do they not look pretty rubbish? Don't they get nicked a lot?

Theres two panels on the sides, I just want a magnet that will fit in the rear 1/3

Here is the model Vito I have:

Magnets aren't as good as stickers/wrap but I'm not sure if I'm keeping the van for long enough to fork out on wrapping

It will be cheaper and more effective to get the vehicle signwritten properly. Mags make you look more of a 'window cleaner today, removal man tomorrow' odd job type that may change his name regularly.

Signwritten vehicles look far more professional and customers have far more faith in your abilities. Mags will cost something like £30-40 each, signwritting probably £200 for the lot - so actually works out cheaper without the consideration of them falling off!

Mags also effect paint leaving a "ghost line" where it has been - which looks really naff when not on the vehicle!

We had some done recently for a steel door and used a company called Sign Right. Great service and the signs do the trick, presume they're fine for cars, vans etc.

As others have said though, if you're looking for something more permanent then sign writing would be the way to go.

Hope that helps.

Hi

I did magnets and got them stolen. The reason I got them in the first place is because I work in some areas that there is a lot of crime so an ad on my van is like turning it into a shop window for the local thieves.

If you want a cheap option then there's loads of printers on ebay who will print the van signage that you want and send it to you. Then simply put them on yourself. They're dead easy to remove afterwards.
