Branding your vehicle is one of the best ways to get noticed out on the road and the perfect marketing tool. Providing important business information and helping generate leads while you do your day job is quite frankly an easy decision!

So which type of vehicle sign is the best one to use?

Vinyl Vehicle Graphics

For both lease and owned vehicles, vinyl vehicle graphics provide a longer-term solution and can be removed easily, leaving paintwork in good condition.

You can go for simple graphics with basic company logos and contact information or go for a full wrap which will protect the vehicle whilst making a real statement. There are endless options to choose from – the vehicle is effectively a blank canvas. Here at Spicey DeSigns we use eco-solvent ink and high-quality vinyl to improve the lifespan of your graphics.

Pros of vinyl vehicle graphics:

• Long lasting solution
• Minimal maintenance once applied
• Can be applied to any part of your vehicle
• Designs can be more creative
• Can be removed easily and re applied when necessary

Cons of vinyl vehicle graphics:

• You cannot re-apply the same vinyl graphics once they have been removed – new graphics will need to be printed
• As a permanent solution, if the vehicle is also for personal use, it is not so easy to hide!

Magnetic Vehicle Signs

As a less permanent option, magnetic signs can be quite tempting as they allow a degree of freedom. Easily applied and removed (useful for external contractors on building sites for example).

Magnetics can be a good option if you do not require a permanent graphic solution, however they may detach from the vehicle at higher speeds and if not regularly removed and cleaned, or if moisture gathers behind the magnets this may lead to paint damage and degradation. Magnets may also cause scratches to paint over time.

Pros of magnetic signs:

• Easily removed
• Can be used on any vehicle
• Cheaper option for new businesses

Cons of magnetic signs:

• Easily removed (or stolen!)
• Can detach at high speed
• Less design and advertising space
• May degrade quickly and cause damage to vehicle paintwork

Having compared the two options, both can be a great marketing tool for your business, it really depends on what works best for you. We can talk through these options in more detail with you to help you make the right decision.
