    Popular Sizes & Shapes

    Pick the size that fits your photo, logo, or message. Don’t overthink it—if you’ve got text + photo, start at 2.25″ or larger for readability.

    Design Tips for Crisp, Readable Magnets

    1. Keep copy short. Names, dates, 2–4 words—small formats reward brevity.
    2. Use high-contrast palettes. Dark type on light backgrounds or vice versa.
    3. Pick bold fonts. Sans serifs or sturdy serifs read best at small sizes.
    4. Mind the safe zone. Keep text away from the round crimped edge.
    5. Choose the right crop. Centre faces and simplify backgrounds.
    6. Consider matte. Standard gloss is vivid; matte reduces glare for photos.
    7. Test the QR code. Print a quick paper test; if it scans there, it’ll scan here.

    Packaging & Merchandising Ideas

    • Backer cards: Add branding, price, and a brief story.
    • Multi-packs: Seasonal sets or colourways increase AOV.
    • Retail barcodes: Easy point-of-sale.
    • White-label / blind shipping: Great for gifts and wholesale drops.

    Care & Longevity

    Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasives or solvents. The hard button shell protects your print for long-term shine, and the magnetic backing stays put on most fridges and metal boards.
