Why Still Use Traditional 850micron Magnets for Vehicle Graphics?

Vehicle magnets have usually been specified by thickness because thickness felt like safety.

MagScience™ Super600 is the NextGen alternative for traditional 850 micron PVC media. 

Here's Why:

Thinner construction ✔
MagScience™ is 600 micron versus traditional PVC 850 micron. 250 micron thinner. 

Higher magnetic force ✔
MagScience™ Super600 delivers 55-64 g/cm² versus traditional PVC 850 at 38-46 g/cm².

37% Lighter weight ✔
MagScience™ Super600 is 1,765 g/m² versus traditional PVC 850 at 2,800 g/m².

Better strength-to-weight ratio ✔
You get stronger holding power with less material weight.

Easier handling ✔
Lighter media is easier to lift, load, move, cut, pack and install.

Lower transport burden ✔
Less weight per m² can reduce shipping pressure across pallets, distributors, installers and fleet graphics jobs.

Better workflow flexibility ✔
MagScience™ is designed for smoother feeding and easier cutting compared with heavier traditional magnetic constructions.

Wider print compatibility ✔
Traditional PVC 850 is UV-only, while MagScience™ Super600 is compatible with Eco-Solvent, UV and Latex. HP Latex certified.

Lower verified CO₂ footprint 🌍
The EPD-based comparison shows PVC850 to MagScience™ Super60 reduces CO₂ from 5.08 kg CO₂/m² to 3.72 kg CO₂/m², a 26.8% reduction.

More modern specification story
Instead of printing “850 micron because that’s the standard,” you can sell stronger magnetic force, lower weight, achieve workflow efficiency and verified CO₂ reduction.

Stop buying microns,
Start buying performance.
