Car Magnets

Using car magnets that include your business information on it is a great way to advertise your business around the clock. Magnetic vehicle signs give you the flexible marketing you need at an affordable price - if you don't want promotional magnets on your car while you run errands or drop your kids off at school, you can easily remove them from the vehicle. Custom car magnets are easy to design and produce. Here's how to make car magnets:
1、List the information you want on the car magnets. Here are a few ideas to consider when creating promotional magnets:         
• business logo and name        
• type of business        
• address        
• phone number        
• business hours        
• services        
• imagery        
• website        
2、If you're not a graphic designer, you're better off hiring one or letting a sign company like FastSigns do the graphics work for you (their website is listed in the Resource links below). Give the sign company a sketch of what you want each car magnet to look like so they know what you're looking for. Be sure to give them permission to embellish your promotional magnet ideas - sign companies are the experts so let them do their magic in creating car magnets for you. They will likely use Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to make the magnetic vehicle signs. If you don't have a sketch, no sweat. That's what they are there for.        
3、Once you get a mockup of the custom car magnets, show it to everyone who needs to see it before you have the vehicle magnets produced. It's always a good idea to have more than one pair of eyes look at promotional magnets - you may have missed something important that needs to be added or changed.        
4、Have the car magnets produced. If you've hired a graphic designer, they will format the graphic files and send it out for production. Most sign companies can do the graphics and production for you, so they are a great option if you want to get the magnetic vehicle signs produced in one place.

What Is a Neodymium Magnet?

A neodymium magnet is among the strongest magnets on earth, with some being able to hold up to 1300 times its weight. It is used in many industries and applications, and is relatively cheap.
Neodymium        
Neodymium is a rare earth element. However, that is misleading, for neodymium is relatively common in the Earth's crust. Neodymium can be mined from various ores. It is generally paramagnetic, meaning that it can be magnetized. However, it is not the only metal present in most neodymium magnets.   
Composition        
A neodymium magnet is generally a neodymium, iron and boron magnet, represented by Nd2Fe14B. The magnet is considered a metal alloy. It is important to remember that this magnet may look like a single metal, but is really an alloy, which is a bond of all three metals.   
Manufacture        
The neodymium magnet is manufactured by first melting down the neodymium-iron-boron alloy. This alloy is then crushed into a powder and magnetically aligned so as to have a permanent magnetic field. This power is pressed and sintered (heated) until it becomes a solid. Once in solid, magnetic form, it can be cut into the desired shape.   
Properties        
The neodymium magnet is extremely strong, with magnetic strengths between N24 and N55, with N55 being the strongest manufactured. Unfortunately however, it has a lower working temperature with its extremely high strength, with the maximum working temperature of some reaching only 200 degrees C.   
Uses        
The neodymium magnet is used in many of today's best electric motors, due to its efficiency and strength. It is also used in many toys, speakers, computers and electronics. The strength of the neodymium magnet has been key to the invention of electric motors for use in many applications that require more powerful motors, such as model aircraft.
