How to Use Our Online Sign Designer

1. Measure the Area Where the Sign Will Be Installed

Before choosing a sign size, measure the flat area of your vehicle where you intend to place the magnet. Avoid body lines, trim, handles, and strongly curved areas.

You should also confirm that the surface is magnetic. Magnetic signs adhere to steel but will not stick to aluminum, fiberglass, or plastic vehicle panels. A small household magnet can help you test the intended location.

Once you know the available space, visit our custom magnetic signs collection and choose the size that best fits your vehicle.

2. Allow the Sign Designer to Load

When you open a design-online product page, the Sign Designer may take a few moments to initialize. Once loaded, you will see the design area along with controls for adding text, images, and other design elements.

The design preview represents the printable area of your magnetic sign. Use it as your guide while building the layout.

3. Add Your Text

Start by replacing the sample wording with your own information. Depending on the product, you can enter several lines of text for details such as:

• Business name

• Main service or message

• Phone number

• Website address

• License or identification number

Each line can be formatted separately. This makes it easy to give your business name the most emphasis while keeping supporting information smaller.

Choose a clear font and a color that stands out against the background. If a line feels crowded, shorten the wording or reduce the font size slightly.

4. Upload Your Logo or Image

Select Add Image, followed by the upload option, to add a logo or image from your device. You can click to choose a file or drag an image into the upload area.

For products using the online Sign Designer, supported image formats include JPEG, PNG, and GIF, with files up to 10MB. For a clean printed result, artwork should be approximately 150 dpi at full size or 300 dpi at half size.

After the image appears in the design, position and resize it so it complements the text without overpowering the message.

5. Browse the Available Graphics

Do not have a logo or need a visual element for your sign? The Designs section includes searchable graphics arranged by category.

Available categories cover many common industries and subjects, including automotive, childcare, cleaning, construction, lawn care, painting, plumbing, real estate, snow plowing, tools, trades, warning signs, and more.

Choose a graphic that supports your message and can be understood quickly. A simple, recognizable image is usually more effective on a vehicle sign than a highly detailed illustration.

6. Arrange Your Layout

Move and resize the elements until the sign feels balanced. The Layers tool can help when text, logos, backgrounds, or graphics overlap.

You can also use the undo and redo controls to try different ideas without worrying about losing your previous arrangement. If you plan to pause and return later, use the save and load tools provided in the Sign Designer.

7. Select Your Sign Options

After completing the layout, review the available product choices. Depending on the sign, these may include:

• Reflective or non-reflective material

• Magnetic background color

• Proof preference

• Quantity

• Notes or special instructions

Reflective material can improve visibility in low-light conditions. When choosing a background color, make sure it provides strong contrast with your text and logo.

If you select the proof option, a proof will be emailed for your review before production. If you approve the design to go directly to production, carefully check every part of the layout before continuing.

8. Complete a Final Review

Before adding the sign to your cart, check:

• Spelling and punctuation

• Phone numbers and website addresses

• Logo clarity

• Text alignment

• Color contrast

• Distance from the edges

• Selected size, finish, and quantity

When everything looks correct, add the finished sign to your cart and proceed through checkout.

Tips for Creating a More Effective Magnetic Sign

Keep the Message Short

Drivers may only have a few seconds to see your sign. Focus on the most important information instead of trying to list every product or service you offer.

A strong layout might include your business name, one short description, and one contact method.

Make the Most Important Information the Largest

Create a clear visual order. Your business name or primary service should usually be the first thing viewers notice. Your phone number or website should be easy to find but should not compete with the main message.

Choose Easy-to-Read Fonts

Bold, clean fonts generally work best for vehicle signs. Decorative fonts can add personality, but they may become difficult to read when viewed from a distance or while the vehicle is moving.

Avoid using too many different fonts. One font for the main heading and one for the supporting details is usually enough.

Use Strong Color Contrast

Dark lettering on a light background or light lettering on a dark background is easier to read. Avoid combinations in which the text and background are similar in brightness.

If your logo contains several colors, consider using a simple background that allows those colors to stand out.

Use High-Quality Artwork

A logo that looks acceptable as a small image on a phone may not look sharp when enlarged for printing. Upload the cleanest and largest version you have.

A PNG with a transparent background can be especially useful because it avoids placing an unwanted white box around the logo.

Leave Space Around the Edges

Do not place important text or logos too close to the edge of the design. A little open space makes the sign easier to read and gives the layout a more polished appearance.

Avoid Overloading the Design

Every element should have a purpose. Too many graphics, colors, fonts, or lines of text can make the message harder to understand.

When in doubt, simplify. A clean sign with one strong message will usually be more noticeable than a crowded sign with several competing messages.

Consider Ordering a Pair

If you want to advertise on both sides of a vehicle, remember to order two magnetic signs. Check the quantity before adding the design to your cart.

Request a Proof When You Are Unsure

If you have questions about placement, image quality, colors, or the overall layout, select the emailed proof option. This gives you another opportunity to review the sign before it enters production.

Other Ways to Order Custom Magnetic Signs

Our online Sign Designer is ideal when you want to create and control the layout yourself, but it is not the only way to order.

Upload Your Finished Design

If you already have print-ready artwork from a graphic designer or design program, use our magnetic sign artwork uploader.

Choose the shape, size, finish, proof preference, and quantity, then upload your finished file. The uploader accepts several professional and standard formats—including AI, PDF, EPS, PSD, DOCX, JPEG, CDR, PNG, and JPG—with files up to 100MB.

For the best print quality, submit artwork at 150 dpi at full size, 300 dpi at half size, or in vector format. This ordering method is a convenient choice when your design is complete and ready to print.

Let Us Design It for You

If you do not have a finished layout—or simply prefer help from an experienced graphic artist—choose our Let Us Design Your Magnetic Signs option.

Select your sign shape, size, material, wording, colors, and font preferences. You can upload a logo or image and include notes describing how you would like the sign to look. You may also leave certain choices to the graphic artist.
