Vehicle magnets are a fairly inexpensive alternative to vehicle advertising. But, keep in mind that they are intended for temporary use. High winds can pull them off, so be sure to have the corners rounded. Also, be sure to clean behind the magnet often so that dirt and debris does not damage your vehicle’s paint as the magnet shifts. If you are searching for a more permanent alternative, applied graphics are generally comparable in price but will have an installation charge.

Overlaminates are clear vinyls that can be applied over digital prints in order to prolong their life. Many are rated for 4-6 years and offer characteristics such as UV, anti-skid and anti-graffiti protection. Optically-clear overlaminates help keep rain from blocking visibility through vehicle perforated window films. Liquid overlaminates are also helpful for certain applications, especially banners. Check with your local sign shop for the best choice for you.

Cast vinyl is the best choice for long-term graphics and lettering, as well as signage that will be exposed to consistent direct sunlight and harsh elements. It generally is rated for 8-10 years. As with any vinyl, environment plays a large role in its lifespan. For printed long-term graphics overlaminating is a must.

Calendared vinyl is a good choice for projects such as banners, yard signs, and other basic short to mid-term graphics. Many intermediate calendared vinyls carry a rating of 5-7 years. But, you should keep in mind that these figures can vary dramatically based on environment. We generally do not use calendered vinyl on exterior signs that are expected to last over 3 years. And, over time, calendered vinyls begin to shrink slightly. For long-term graphics that can spell disaster!
