*Vinyl can generally be removed, but is not normally reusable. Magnetic graphics can usually be fitted in minutes on suitable clean, dry, flat steel panels. Simple vinyl decals may also take minutes, while larger graphics and wraps can require hours or days. Fitting times vary with design and vehicle.

LESS TIME FITTING. MORE TIME WORKING.

KEEP YOUR VAN WORKING. NOT WAITING.

For many businesses, time off the road means lost work. AutoMagnet's removable magnetic panels can be fitted without a professional installation appointment, helping you get your branding on the van and get back to business.

DESIGNED FOR THE RIGHT FIT.

AutoMagnet graphics are designed for suitable steel body panels, precision-cut to follow your van's recessed areas. Magnetic graphics are not suitable for aluminium or plastic panels, and require correct fitting, cleaning and maintenance. For full vehicle coverage or complex curves, vinyl may be the better option. Always follow the supplied fitting and care guidance.

VAN GRAPHICS PRICES

HOW MUCH DO VAN GRAPHICS COST?

From a small vinyl logo to a fully designed vehicle wrap, van branding prices vary considerably. Here's how the main options compare.

SWIPE TO COMPARE ALL PRICES

TYPE OF GRAPHICS INDICATIVE PRICE WHAT'S INCLUDED
Small custom vinyl lettering From £30 Small names, numbers or simple decals
Basic vinyl lettering & signage £75–£200 Simple business details and modest graphics
Partial vinyl graphics £250–£700+ Selected body panels or larger design elements
Full vinyl wrap £1,500–£3,000+ Extensive vehicle coverage; fitting requirements vary
Complex bespoke vinyl wrap £5,000+ Detailed design, specialist materials and professional fitting

Illustrative prices only, not fixed quotes or verified market averages. Costs vary by country, vehicle size, artwork, coverage, materials and installation. Some vinyl prices may exclude design or fitting. For a closer look at options, explore our van signs and van wraps guides. AutoMagnet prices are starting prices; your final price depends on the selected van and options.

LOOK BEYOND THE STARTING PRICE

NOT ALL VAN GRAPHICS ARE THE SAME.

A small vinyl sticker can be an inexpensive way to add a phone number or logo. AutoMagnet is a different kind of product: full-colour magnetic graphics made to fit suitable recessed steel panels on your particular van.

Unlike adhesive graphics, they can be removed and reused, with no professional fitting appointment required. More complex vinyl wraps can also involve design fees, specialist fitting and time off the road. See our van wraps guide for a closer comparison.

VAN GRAPHICS.
HOW THEY WORK.

What are van graphics made from, how do they attach, and how do you look after them? Here's a practical guide to magnetic sheeting, adhesive vinyl and fitting your van graphics correctly.

MAGNETIC VAN GRAPHICS

Flexible magnetic sheeting holds to compatible steel bodywork through magnetic attraction, rather than glue. AutoMagnet graphics are cut to fit designated recessed panels on specific van models. The entire backing must lie flat against clean, dry painted steel.

Material detail: Designed around 0.85 mm flexible magnetic sheeting (final product specification to be confirmed). Thickness alone does not determine holding strength.

VINYL VAN GRAPHICS

Adhesive-backed vinyl is applied directly to prepared bodywork. Cut vinyl suits lettering and simple shapes; printed vinyl carries full-colour artwork, often with a protective laminate. Cast films are generally better suited to complex contours, while suitable calendered films work well on flatter areas.

For more extensive coverage, see our van wraps guide.

FITTING METHODS

HOW ARE VAN GRAPHICS APPLIED?

Different materials require different preparation and application techniques.

FITTING MAGNETIC GRAPHICS

  1. Clean and dry both surfaces.Remove dust, grit and moisture from the panel and magnetic backing.
  2. Check the panel.Use only compatible painted steel, with no gaps, ridges or raised edges beneath the graphic.
  3. Position and smooth flat.Align inside the intended recess and ensure full contact across the entire sheet.
Typically fitted in minutes on a compatible, prepared panel.

FITTING ADHESIVE VINYL

  1. Prepare the bodywork.Clean and degrease as specified by the vinyl manufacturer.
  2. Align and apply.Position the film and work it down with appropriate application tools.
  3. Finish edges and contours.Use heat or post-heating only where required by the specific film.
Simple decals can be quick; complex wraps may need professional fitting and more time.

YOUR MATERIALS & FITTING QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Practical answers about compatibility, paintwork, durability and everyday use.

What thickness are magnetic van signs?
AutoMagnet graphics are being designed around 0.85 mm flexible magnetic sheeting; confirm the finished product specification before ordering. A thicker sheet is not automatically safer: magnetic grade, suitable steel, panel shape and complete contact all matter.
How do magnetic van graphics stay attached without glue?
The magnetic backing is attracted to compatible steel body panels. It needs a clean, dry, smooth surface and full contact from edge to edge. It will not attach to aluminium, plastic, fibreglass or glass. If the panel is unsuitable or the graphic does not sit completely flat, do not fit it.
Can magnetic van graphics be used on motorways?
AutoMagnet magnetic graphics can be used for motorway journeys only where permitted by the finished product's speed guidance. For a secure fit, the van panel and magnetic backing must be clean, dry, smooth and flat. Fit the sign entirely inside the designated vehicle panel recess, with full magnetic contact from edge to edge and no raised or overhanging edges. Check the fit before every journey, follow the supplied speed instructions, and remove the sign immediately if any edge lifts. See our magnetic van signs for more information.
Can I fit magnetic graphics to curved or recessed van panels?
AutoMagnet graphics are shaped for designated recessed steel panels, but the fitting surface still needs to be sufficiently flat for the entire magnetic backing to make contact. Avoid sharp curves, creases, raised trim and any edge that bridges a gap. Check your exact van model, year and body configuration before ordering.
Will magnetic graphics damage the paintwork?
Correctly fitted and maintained magnetic graphics should not damage sound, fully cured paintwork, but damage is possible if dirt or moisture is trapped underneath, the graphic moves, or the paint is weak, damaged or recently refinished. Clean and dry both surfaces before fitting and remove the graphic regularly for inspection and cleaning. Follow the vehicle paint and magnetic material manufacturers' guidance.
How often should I remove and clean magnetic graphics?
Remove them regularly in accordance with the magnetic sheet manufacturer's care instructions, and more often after heavy rain, washing, salt exposure or dusty conditions. Clean and thoroughly dry both the vehicle panel and magnetic backing before refitting. Never leave trapped water or grit under the sheet, and remove it before an automatic car wash unless the product instructions explicitly permit otherwise.
What is the difference between cast and calendered vinyl?
Cast vinyl is typically more conformable and dimensionally stable, making it a common choice for complex vehicle curves and wraps. Calendered vinyl is often used for lettering, flat surfaces and simpler graphics. Premium polymeric calendered films can also suit gentle curves; the film manufacturer's application specification is the deciding factor.
Can I fit vinyl van graphics myself?
Small lettering and simple decals are often suitable for careful DIY fitting. Large printed panels, deep curves and full wraps are more demanding and may need a professional installer. Magnetic graphics are designed for straightforward DIY application on compatible panels, without adhesive.
How long do magnetic and vinyl van graphics last?
Both can last for years when suitable materials are chosen, installed correctly and maintained. Actual service life depends on material specification, weather, UV exposure, cleaning and use. Vinyl generally remains in place for its service life; magnetic graphics can be removed and reused when kept in suitable condition. Check the product's stated warranty and care terms for specific coverage.
Which vans are suitable for AutoMagnet graphics?
Suitability depends on the exact model, year, body style and whether the designated recessed panel is compatible steel. Matching the van's shape alone is not enough. Use our vehicle finder to select your van, then check panel material and fitment before applying. You can also read about van signs and the available formats.
IMPORTANT BEFORE FITTING

Only apply magnetic graphics to compatible, sound, fully cured painted steel that is clean, dry, smooth and flat, entirely within the designated vehicle panel recess, with full magnetic contact. Always follow the final product's fitting, speed, cleaning and removal instructions. If in doubt about panel material or fit, check before use.

VAN GRAPHICS FAQs.

Still deciding how to brand your van? Here are the answers that matter before you order.

How much do van graphics cost?

Prices depend on the material, design and amount of coverage. Small vinyl lettering can start at around £30, while complex bespoke wraps including design and professional fitting can exceed £5,000. AutoMagnet's precision-fit magnetic van signs start from £230 in the UK, with the final price depending on your van and chosen options.

Explore our magnetic van signs or read more about van signage options.

Are magnetic van graphics as effective as vinyl?

Both can advertise your business effectively. Vinyl is well suited to permanent lettering, complex contours and full wraps. AutoMagnet offers professionally designed, full-colour branding on removable magnetic panels cut for the designated recesses of compatible vans. The best choice depends on the coverage you want and whether you need to remove the branding.

See how our vehicle-specific magnetic signs work.

Can I use magnetic van graphics on a leased van?

Often, yes. Removable magnetic graphics can be a practical option when you don't want permanent adhesive signage. However, check your lease or rental agreement first and make sure the vehicle has suitable, sound painted steel panels. Not every van panel is magnetic, and proper cleaning and maintenance are essential.

Can I remove magnetic van graphics whenever I want?

Yes. You can remove and refit AutoMagnet graphics when needed, provided the signs remain in good condition and the panel and magnetic backing are clean and dry before refitting. This flexibility is useful when you use the same van for business and personal journeys. Follow the supplied care and fitting guidance.

Do magnetic van graphics look professional?

They certainly can. The difference is in the design and fit. AutoMagnet graphics are created for your business and precision-cut to sit within the intended body-panel recess rather than using a generic rectangle. The result is a clean, purposeful branded appearance without committing to permanent vinyl.

How do I order custom van graphics?

Start by selecting your van's manufacturer, model, year and body configuration. Then tell us about your business. Already have a logo? Great. No logo, artwork or design ideas? That's fine too — AutoMagnet offers a complete design service and can create your branding from scratch.
