When you select the Reflective option, your sign is produced using an engineer-grade 7 mil, 3M vinyl film. When light hits the material, it reflects, drawing attention to your sign. Great for car magnets and advertising at night. Tip: Dark colors tend to print darker than expected (i.e. dark gray becomes black). They also absorb more light, so when designing your sign, use lighter colors to create more reflection.

The Circle Cut option is a great way to accentuate a business logo or graphic. When you select “Circle Cut,” most of your magnet’s excess background is cut away to create a circular (or oval, depending on the aspect ratio of your design) shape. You will receive a proof of the cut to review prior to production.

Shape Die-Cut is an advanced technique used on magnets to outline to the overall shape of a business logo or graphics, removing most of the background and leaving only a ¼” to a ½” to a border around the design. Shape Die-Cut should only be selected on a magnet when your design has a smooth, rounded shape, as any jagged or angular edges could cause the magnet to catch air and fly off your vehicle. If this is a concern, choose the Circle Cut option instead. A Shape Die-Cut magnet uses full-color printing, is cut to the shape of the design and is accented by a white border for higher visibility and color contrast. Note: We round the corners of magnets by default, so the Shape Die-Cut option is not necessary if all you need is rounded corners.
