How Long will Magnetic Signs Last For?
With proper care and maintenance, they'll last a long time.
Our magnetic signs, in and of themselves, are designed and produced to be very durable, therefore lasting a good long time out on the road. And in most instances, the magnetic sign material lasts longer than the actual print. Most magnetic signs have a life expectancy of about 3 to 5 years, with proper care and maintenance, which tends to be the industry norm. But we've had customers who haven't had to replace their magnetic signs in over seven years or more.
The reason our magnetic signs last so long is that we always laminate the printed portion of the magnetic sign. A top-coat lamination helps protect the print against the elements, fading, scratches and abrasions that the magnetic sign will be faced with. The lamination combined with fade resistant inks make our magnetic signs a long-lasting alternative, for mobile advertising, that doesn't require permanent vehicle graphics.
The longevity of the sign though is somewhat dependent on customer care, maintenance and installation as well. A poorly cared for sign, that is not being maintained or installed correctly, may result in the magnetic sign flying off your vehicle at some point, thus compromising the actual intended life-span of the magnetic sign itself. For tips on how to care for and install your magnetic signs, please see our Magnetic Sign Care, Installation and Maintenance page in the Help Center.
Investing in magnetic signs gives you mobile advertising diversity through affordability and adaptability. Magnetic signs are a viable investment because the sign itself should last at least 3 years. In three years a lot can happen, or not happen, for a company or business. Purchasing magnetic signs give you the peace of mind that you'll be able to advertise on your own terms, for a good amount of time, without spending extra money for longer lasting permanent vehicle graphics.
