In other words, signs are big and the amount of money that goes into signage demonstrates this. Magnetic signs should be a factor when making advertising decisions.

But not all signs are created equal. Some signs, such as plastic signs, wilt in the sun and are adversely affected by the elements and worse still, are difficult to remove owing to the adhesives used. Other signs such as paint signs have their very own disadvantages such as inaccuracy, lack of crystal clear graphics and so on. Magnetic signs are a type of signs that are head and shoulder above these other signs so when you are going out magnetic sign buying, what should you look for?

Although maintenance has a part to play in the durability, a good magnetic sign for a car, truck or van should be made of at least .030 car magnetic sheeting and be able to last for 2 to 4 years.

Affordability

Magnetic signs are usually paid for through business expenses and as such must be able to satisfy the management's expectations for allocated advertising funds. This means the cost of the magnetic signs must be within an affordable range that does not create an unnecessary expense burden on the business.

Easy installation/ removal

Finally, the magnetic signs must be easy to install and remove. Magnetic signs have a fairly long life span but this is only possible if the signs are removed regularly, cleaned and re-installed. The process of removal and restoration must therefore be easy and damage-free to the surface being used.
