FAQ
Do magnets get weaker with age?
Barely. A flexible signage magnet keeps almost all of its pull over its whole life. What you notice as "weaker" is usually a warped or dirty magnet not sealing flat, not lost magnetism. Keep it flat and clean and the grip stays put long after the print has faded.
How long does the print stay bright?
With a UV laminate and sensible care, expect a few good years of bright colour before fade starts to show. Full sun every day shortens that; shade and regular removal stretch it out.
Is it cheaper to reprint or replace?
When a magnet has faded, we print a whole new laminated magnet rather than trying to salvage the old one. It is inexpensive, it lets you refresh the design, and you get a crisp, full-strength set back on the vehicle.
