Why Magnetic Signs Fail on Aluminium Vans and Trucks

Vehicle manufacturers increasingly use aluminum for its strength and corrosion resistance and light weight. The downside? Magnets won’t stick to it. 

This catches many businesses off guard, especially those upgrading vehicles or moving signs between fleet vehicles. Magnetic signs that worked perfectly on steel panels suddenly won’t attach at all.

Gripper Mats™ were developed to bridge that gap. They allow businesses to keep using standard magnetic signs on aluminium vehicles without switching to permanent vinyl or damaging adhesives.

They’re ideal for contractors, rental fleets, delivery vehicles, and anyone who needs flexible branding without commitment.
