Image quality is part art, part science. Generally, low resolution website pictures look terrible on signs. Web pages need to load quickly, so people visiting a page don't leave the organization's website. If high definition pictures are on the page, the page will load slowly. Thus, nearly every internet picture you find on a storefront or news page is low definition. It might look good at 2' x 2', but will look terrible at 12' tall. Before uploading a picture, zoom in. Is it grainy? Does the edge look crisp? If not sure, email us the image, let us know how big you want it, and we will let you know if it will look good enough to be persuasive. Sometimes, for a small fee, we can use commercial software to improve the quality. Files that are 100 kilobytes (kb) or less, even up to 1000 kb, are often too low quality to use on all but the smallest signs or decals.

Google Images has the ability to display only high definition pictures- play with the settings. However, that does not mean you are legally allowed to use the image. Make sure before you use it. Often, people are honored to have someone use their picture, and say yes, if you ask nicely.

Modern camera phones take excellent images if you choose the highest quality setting. Likewise, tablets can take great pictures, usable for signage products.

We have seen many small businesses have great success with vehicle magnets. It is a cost effective way to promote your business in your area and get your name out there. While it works well for small businesses, we recommend a more in-depth approach to vehicle advertising which can include a more permanent solution like vehicle wraps and graphics.

Since we are based in Tampa, Florida, we know from experience that the sun’s UV rays can take their toll on printed ink. Even with direct sun exposure, our magnets can easily last for 1-2 years, even longer if not in direct sunlight. Adding lamination can double that number. If your magnets are placed inside, it will last for many years.

There is not a set recommended frequency to clean your magnets, but we recommend at least wiping down both sides of the magnets every few weeks. This helps ensure you don’t have any dirt building up between the magnet and your vehicle which could scratch your paint.

To get the most out of your vehicle magnet, it should be laid flat and stored in a cool, dry place when not in use. Do not store your magnets stacked with the magnetic sides facing each other. This will degrade the effectiveness of the magnetic material over time.

In almost all cases, no. Most bumpers are made of plastic which is not a magnetic surface.
