Bumper Magnets
Custom Bumper Magnets for Cars, Trucks and Personal Messages
Express yourself, promote a business, support a cause, celebrate an event or share a message with custom bumper magnets. Personalized bumper magnets provide the familiar look of a bumper sticker with the flexibility of a removable magnetic sign.
Choose from ready-made bumper magnet designs, customize an existing template or start from scratch to create something completely your own. Add custom text, colors, logos, photographs, graphics and artwork to build a magnet around your personality, organization or message.
Because the magnetic design can be removed and repositioned on compatible magnetic surfaces, you can change your message without permanently applying an adhesive sticker to your vehicle.
Why Choose Custom Bumper Magnets?
Bumper magnets combine a compact vehicle-friendly format with removable magnetic material and full design customization.

Compact Format
The 3" × 10" bumper magnet format provides space for a concise, easy-to-read message.

Bumper Magnet Size

Bumper Magnets vs. Bumper Stickers
Both can display a message on a vehicle, but the way they attach makes them useful for different situations.
Bumper Magnets
Bumper magnets use magnetic attraction rather than adhesive. They can be removed when the message is no longer needed and stored for later use.
This makes magnetic signs useful for temporary campaigns, changing promotions, seasonal messaging and personal designs.
Traditional Bumper Stickers
Traditional bumper stickers use adhesive to attach directly to a surface and are typically intended to remain in place.
Choose a magnetic option when removability and the ability to change your message are important.

Events
Create temporary vehicle messaging for celebrations, gatherings or organized events.
Personal Messages
Design a magnet around your interests, personality, humor or favorite message.
Organizations & Causes
Display organization names, logos, awareness messages and community support.
Tips for Designing an Effective Bumper Magnet
Because bumper magnets are relatively small and are often viewed from another vehicle, simple designs generally communicate more effectively.
Keep the Message Short
Use a few strong words instead of several lines of small text.
Use Large Lettering
Give important words enough size to remain recognizable at a normal viewing distance.
Create Strong Contrast
Choose text and background colors that clearly separate from one another.
Use One Main Idea
Make the magnet about one message instead of trying to communicate several ideas at once.
Use Quality Artwork
Upload high-quality source images and graphics for cleaner printed results.
Review Before Ordering
Double-check spelling, names, dates and other customized information before submitting your design.
Check Your Vehicle Before Using a Bumper Magnet
A magnetic sign requires an appropriate metal surface to attach correctly.
Test the Exact Installation Area
Apply your bumper magnet only to a clean, smooth metal surface that provides sufficient magnetic attraction.
Vehicle construction varies, and some bumpers or body panels may contain plastic, aluminum or other materials that are not magnetic. Test the exact area before relying on it for your magnetic sign.
- Choose a smooth metal surface
- Avoid trim and deep body lines
- Avoid rusted or damaged areas
- Make sure the entire magnet sits flat
- Do not leave raised edges or air pockets
- Confirm secure attachment before driving
How to Apply a Bumper Magnet
Clean the Surface
Remove dirt and debris from the vehicle area where the magnet will be placed.
Clean the Magnet
Make sure the magnetic side is clean before attaching it to the vehicle.
Dry Both Surfaces
Wipe both surfaces completely dry before installing the magnet.
Check Full Contact
Make sure the complete magnet lies flat against the vehicle before driving.
Need to reposition your magnet? Lift it completely away from the vehicle and apply it again. Do not drag the magnet across the surface when repositioning it.
Bumper Magnet Cleaning and Care
Periodic cleaning and proper storage help keep magnetic vehicle signs ready for continued use.
Remove Periodically
Take the magnet off periodically to inspect and clean both contact surfaces.
Clean Away Dirt
Keep dirt and debris from collecting between the magnet and vehicle surface.
Dry Completely
Make sure the magnet is completely dry before reinstalling or storing it.
Store Flat
Keep magnetic signs flat in a clean, dry area when they are not in use.
Avoid Heavy Objects
Do not place heavy items on top of your magnetic signs during storage.
Inspect Before Driving
Check that every edge is flat and the magnet is securely attached before operating the vehicle.
