Magnetic Signs Chicago: Vehicle Magnets and DOT Packages

The smallest products we make are the ones inspectors and customers read first: vehicle magnets, USDOT and MC number lettering, and DOT reflective packages, printed on the same line as 19,400 wrapped vehicles.

Magnets That Look Like Graphics, Not Clip Art

A magnetic sign is a wrap you can take off for the weekend. Contractors who use a personal truck, businesses testing a message before committing to vinyl, and fleets that move drivers between vehicles all run magnets. Ours print on the same HP Latex line as the wrap work, on heavy 30 mil magnetic stock, cut to shapes that follow your logo instead of a white rectangle.

Magnets have rules: flat steel panels only, removed and cleaned regularly so moisture does not sit under them, and never on wrapped or repainted panels. We tell you where they will and will not survive before you buy.

USDOT Numbers and Legal Lettering

FMCSA requires commercial vehicles operating under a USDOT number to display the legal or trade name and the USDOT number on both sides of the power unit, legible from 50 feet in daylight. We produce number packages sized and contrasted to pass inspection the first time: company name, USDOT, MC where applicable, GVW where your operation lists it, and unit numbers, in cut vinyl matched to your brand instead of hardware store letters.

DOT-C2 Reflective and Visibility Packages

Trailers 80 inches or wider over 10,001 pounds GVWR carry red and white DOT-C2 retroreflective treatment under 49 CFR 393.11, and plenty of straight trucks add conspicuity voluntarily because rear end collisions at night are the crash nobody walks away from. We stock and install DOT-C2 tape, build rear chevron panels for service vehicles that work road shoulders, and fold reflective packages into wrap installs so compliance and branding land in one appointment.

Magnetic Sign and DOT Package Questions

What size and thickness are your vehicle magnets?

We print on heavy 30 mil magnetic stock, the commercial standard for vehicle use, cut to standard door sizes or custom shapes that follow your artwork. Thin promotional magnet stock does not stay on at highway speed and we do not sell it.

Where can magnets not be used?

Magnets need flat steel. Aluminum panels, most modern doors with deep body lines, wrapped surfaces, and fresh repaints are all no go zones. We will tell you honestly if your vehicle is a vinyl candidate instead.

What has to be on my truck for USDOT compliance?

Vehicles operating under FMCSA authority display the legal or trade name and USDOT number on both sides of the power unit, legible from 50 feet in daylight. Many operations add MC numbers, GVW, and unit numbers. We size the lettering to pass inspection the first time.

What is DOT-C2 reflective tape and do I need it?

DOT-C2 is the red and white retroreflective conspicuity tape required by 49 CFR 393.11 on most trailers 80 inches or wider with a GVWR over 10,001 pounds. Straight trucks and service vehicles often add it voluntarily for night visibility, and we install it alongside wraps and lettering.

How fast can I get magnets or a number package?

These are the fastest products we make. Approved artwork typically prints and cuts within days, and number packages install in under an hour per vehicle.
