I am after approx 4' square mag signs for our van as a temporary advert. Most sign makers can't do that large. Anyone on here can?

A signcraft type place can knock you up a good advert quickly circa £50 - £75 per van depending on artwork & size.

If you can find them ring a dealership and ask them who they use.

ETA: Magnests might slide off & scratch the paint but you can buy paper stuck to a A4 size magnet from Wickes but they're expensive.

I think the guy who runs Hollographics is on PH - they may do them, have a nose through the le Mans forum, you will probably find his details

Have checked with my friend who makes then, and he can do 18" by as long as you want, and can't think of anyone who could do 4ft square, and he doesn't know where to get the material.

PM me if you want his details - he's in B'ham, which isn't too far away from you; he did say that magnetic sheet is pretty heavy so transport cost would be quite a lot for a big sign.

Could you do it in more than 1 piece? That's my best (only!) suggestion.

We can print a 30inch square vinyl panel and then mount it to a piece of magnetic backing if that's of any use to you...

What sort of money are we talking? Excessive due to the size?
