Made in Canada — No Customs, No Delays, No Currency Conversion

Why does Made in Canada matter for custom magnets? Three reasons every Canadian buyer should know:

No customs delays. Importing magnets from US or Chinese suppliers can mean 2–4 weeks of shipping plus unpredictable border holds. Our Canadian-made magnets arrive in 3–7 business days nationwide with full tracking.
No surprise duties or brokerage fees. US suppliers often quote a low price that balloons once UPS or FedEx tacks on $15–$50 brokerage fees plus GST/HST at the border. Our prices are CAD, all-in, with HST/GST calculated at checkout — no border surprises.
CAD pricing, no currency fluctuation. Order from a US supplier and your $50 USD magnet order becomes $68+ CAD after exchange and credit card fees. Our prices are quoted and charged in Canadian dollars.

Custom magnets Canada customers also benefit from local customer support during Canadian business hours, bilingual order assistance (English and French), and same-day digital proofs for orders placed before 3 PM ET.

Custom Magnets vs Stickers vs Buttons vs Business Cards — Which Is Right?

Wondering whether magnets are the right choice for your project? Quick comparison:

Magnets vs Stickers

Magnets are repositionable, reusable, and stick to metal surfaces (fridges, filing cabinets, vehicles, whiteboards). Stickers are permanent, single-application, and cheaper per unit. Magnets win for ongoing brand exposure — a fridge magnet sits visible for years. Stickers win for one-time branding moments.

Magnets vs Buttons

Magnets stay home with the customer — fridge, filing cabinet, vehicle. Buttons are worn outward — events, campaigns, public visibility. Different audiences and use cases. Read the full Pin-Back vs Magnet Buttons comparison.

Magnets vs Business Cards

A traditional business card lives in a wallet or gets thrown away. A business card magnet earns fridge real estate for years. For service businesses where customers need to find your number later, magnets dramatically outperform paper cards per dollar spent.

Custom Magnets Canada — FAQ

Do you ship custom magnets across Canada? ↓

Yes — Button Bros ships custom magnets Canada-wide, from Vancouver to St. John's and everywhere in between. We use Canada Post Expedited Parcel and Purolator Ground with tracking on every order. Delivery times range from 1–2 days (Southern Ontario, Quebec) to 5–10 days (remote northern regions). Free shipping on all Canadian orders over $300 CAD.

Are your custom magnets actually made in Canada? ↓

Yes. Every magnet is printed, cut, and quality-checked in-house at our Canadian production facility. We do not outsource, drop-ship from the US or China, or relabel imported products. Made in Canada means no customs delays, no border brokerage fees, and consistent quality you can verify. Our HST/GST number appears on every invoice.

What is the minimum order for custom magnets? ↓

No minimum on fridge magnets and button magnets — order one or one thousand with the same per-unit tier pricing. Car magnets and specialty cut-to-shape magnets may have small minimums depending on size. Browse our collection for specifics.

What is the turnaround time for custom magnets in Canada? ↓

Standard production is 2–3 business days from order approval. Shipping time depends on your province: 1–2 days to the GTA and Quebec, 2–4 days to the Prairies and Maritimes, 3–5 days to BC, and 5–10 days to the territories. Total order-to-door is typically 3–7 business days. Rush production is available on request.

What types of custom magnets do you offer? ↓

We offer fridge magnets (most popular, rectangular and square), business card magnets (2" × 3.5", real estate favourite), button magnets (pin-back buttons with magnetic backing), car magnets (heavy-duty 30 mil, weatherproof), schedule/calendar magnets, and real estate magnets. See each product page for sizes and pricing.

Are car magnets safe for vehicle paint? ↓

Yes — our car magnets use 30 mil weatherproof material that removes cleanly without damage to vehicle paint when applied to a clean, dry surface. Wash both the vehicle and the magnet periodically. For long-term/permanent applications on commercial fleets, consider vinyl decals instead of magnets.

How strong are your custom magnets? ↓

Our fridge magnets use commercial-grade flexible magnet stock that holds securely on any ferrous metal surface (fridges, filing cabinets, whiteboards, vehicle exteriors). Strong enough to hold paper notes underneath. Car magnets use heavy-duty 30 mil stock with stronger pull-force to resist highway-speed wind.

Do you charge GST/HST on magnet orders? ↓

Yes — we charge the appropriate Canadian sales tax based on your shipping province (5% GST in AB/NT/NU/YT, 5% GST + PST in BC/SK/MB, 5% GST + 9.975% QST in QC, 13–15% HST in ON/NB/NL/NS/PEI). Taxes are calculated automatically at checkout. Registered Canadian businesses can claim input tax credits on the GST/HST paid.

What file format do you need for custom magnet designs? ↓

We accept PNG, JPG, PDF, AI, PSD, SVG, and EPS. For best print quality, we prefer high-resolution files (300 DPI minimum) or vector files. If your file isn't print-ready, our design team will fix it for free or send a free digital proof showing exactly how your magnet will look. Don't have a design? Our team will create one for free.

Do you offer bilingual customer support in English and French? ↓

Yes — our Canadian customer support team handles orders and inquiries in both English and French. Quebec customers can place orders, request proofs, and get support in French via phone, email, or live chat. Service bilingue disponible.

Will I pay customs fees or brokerage charges? ↓

No — every order ships domestically within Canada, so there are no customs fees, no duties, and no brokerage charges. The price you see at checkout is the final price (plus applicable GST/HST/QST). This is one of the biggest advantages of ordering from a Canadian magnet manufacturer vs a US or international one.

How long do custom magnets last? ↓

Indoor fridge magnets last 10+ years without losing magnetic strength or fading (UV-resistant inks). Outdoor car magnets last 3–5 years of typical Canadian weather exposure depending on sun and salt conditions. Clean periodically to extend life.

Can you handle rush orders for events or marketing campaigns? ↓

Yes — we offer rush production (next-business-day) on most orders for an additional fee. Combined with overnight shipping (Purolator Express or Canada Post Priority), we can get custom magnets from Canadian order to Canadian door in 2–3 calendar days for most postal codes. Contact us with your deadline to confirm timing.

What cities in Canada do you serve? ↓

We serve every city and town in Canada. Our dedicated city pages cover the biggest markets: Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Halifax. We also ship to smaller cities, towns, and remote postal codes nationwide.

Why do real estate agents use magnets instead of business cards? ↓

A traditional business card lives in a wallet or gets thrown out within a week. A business card magnet earns shelf space on a customer's fridge for 5+ years — every time they open the fridge, they see your name. At ~$0.65 per magnet at volume, it's the lowest cost-per-impression marketing tool available to Canadian realtors. Top RE/MAX, Royal LePage, and Sutton agents all order magnets in bulk.
