Choosing Vehicle Signage: 30mil vs 15mil Car Magnets
Custom car magnets are an incredible way to turn your personal vehicle into a mobile billboard during business hours, allowing you to easily remove the branding on the weekends. However, selecting the correct magnet thickness is a critical safety and durability decision. You will typically see options for 30mil and 15mil magnets.
The Heavy-Duty 30mil Standard
When it comes to vehicle branding, thick material is absolutely mandatory.
- The Performance: A 30mil magnet is heavy-duty and specifically engineered to stay firmly attached to your car doors at high highway speeds.
- The Durability: The thickness prevents the magnet from catching the wind and tearing off, ensuring your brand stays visible for years.
The Lightweight 15mil Option
Thinner magnets serve a completely different purpose.
- The Function: A 15mil magnet is very thin and is best used for refrigerators or stationary use inside an office.
- The Danger: If you put a 15mil magnet on a moving vehicle, the wind will immediately catch the edges and blow it right off the car.

Cutting costs on vehicle signage is never a good idea. As printing and promotional experts, our rule is strict: never use a 15mil magnet on a vehicle.
