Sign material
Magnetic Vinyl
Flexible magnetic-backed vinyl for vehicle livery, removable signage, and temporary applications on metal surfaces.
Magnetic vinyl is a flexible vinyl sheet with a magnetic backing — typically 0.6mm thick. Used for vehicle livery (where the sign needs to be removable), temporary signage on metal cabinets, and any application where you need to apply and remove signage without adhesive residue.
Direct Signs supplies printed magnetic vinyl in custom sizes up to 600mm × 400mm. Bigger formats are available by special order. Magnetic vinyl is designed for indoor or sheltered use — fully external use reduces lifespan due to UV.
Lifespan: 2-4 years indoor; 1-2 years sheltered outdoor; less for vehicle use depending on conditions.
