Custom Magnets for Business: The Complete Canadian Guide

Why Custom Magnets Are the Best Promotional Product

Custom magnets Canada businesses rely on are one of the most effective promotional products you can invest in. Unlike flyers, brochures, or business cards that end up in a drawer, promotional magnets stay visible for years — on refrigerators, filing cabinets, toolboxes, and vehicle dashboards. That long-lasting visibility means your brand is seen every single day, not just once.

What makes custom magnets so powerful is their combination of practicality and affordability. Starting from just $0.60 each, they cost a fraction of what you would spend on digital ads or print campaigns, yet they deliver impressions for years. A custom magnet holding up a grocery list or a child's artwork is doing silent marketing around the clock.

Real estate agents, restaurants, HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and service businesses across Canada use promotional magnets because they work. A fridge magnet with your phone number is the first thing a homeowner reaches for when the furnace breaks down or the roof leaks. That is why custom magnets Canada professionals order remain one of the highest-ROI marketing tools available. With high perceived value and near-zero waste, custom magnets in Canada are the go-to choice for businesses that want lasting brand exposure without recurring costs.

Types of Custom Magnets

At Button Bros, we make three types of custom magnets in Canada today: rectangular fridge magnets, round fridge magnets and button magnets. Car magnets and cut-to-shape magnets are coming soon. Every type is printed full-colour and produced entirely in-house at our Canadian facility. Below is a detailed look at every option so you can choose the right magnet for your project.

Custom Fridge Magnets

Custom fridge magnets are our most popular product and the backbone of magnet marketing in Canada. We offer 15 rectangle and square sizes from 1" x 2" up to 5.5" x 8.5", plus 7 round sizes from 1.75" to 4". Every fridge magnet is printed full-colour on flexible magnetic vinyl with a gloss finish.

Custom fridge magnets are ideal for business card magnets, save-the-date announcements, calendar magnets, menu magnets, sports schedules, and emergency contact magnets. The larger sizes (4" x 6" and up) are popular with restaurants and pizza shops that want their full menu or specials displayed on every customer's fridge. The smaller sizes (2" x 3.5") are perfect as business card magnets that never get lost in a wallet.

Because they are printed on flexible magnetic vinyl, custom fridge magnets hold securely to any ferromagnetic surface — refrigerators, filing cabinets, metal shelving, whiteboards, and lockers. They are lightweight, easy to mail in envelopes, and virtually indestructible in normal use. Many of our Canadian customers use them as direct mail inserts — a postcard with a peel-off magnet attached gets kept instead of thrown away.

Round logos and seals suit custom round magnets, business contact details fit business card magnets, and our promotional magnets page covers giveaway planning. For fall mailings, see 2027 calendar magnets.

Custom Car Magnets (Coming Soon)

Coming soon. Custom car magnets will be full-colour removable signs for fleet branding, delivery vehicles, contractor trucks and temporary vehicle signage, in sizes from 9" x 12" to 24" x 24", including 12" x 18" for doors and 12" x 24" for tailgates.

We will publish the material and care details when they launch. Email us if you would like to hear when car magnets are available.

Button Magnets

Button magnets are made like our pin-back buttons, with the same steel shell and printed laminate cover and a flat fridge magnet on the back instead of a pin. They come in 5 round sizes from 1.25" to 3", and square and rectangle button magnets come in 1.5" and 2" square and 2" x 3".

Button magnets stick to fridges, lockers, filing cabinets and whiteboards, which makes them popular as event keepsakes, school and team giveaways and trade show handouts. There is no minimum order. For a button you can wear without a pin hole, see pin-back vs magnet buttons.

Cut-to-Shape Magnets (Coming Soon)

Coming soon. Cut-to-shape magnets will be cut to the outline of your design, with no rectangular border, so a logo, mascot or product shape stands out on a crowded fridge. They will be printed full-colour on flexible magnetic vinyl. Pair them with custom stickers for a complete branding kit.

Design Tips for Custom Magnets

All of our custom magnets feature full-bleed printing, meaning your design prints right to the edge of the magnet with no white border. To ensure the best print quality, upload your artwork at 300 DPI in PNG, JPG, PDF, AI, EPS, or SVG format.

When designing promotional magnets, keep readability in mind. Phone numbers, website URLs, and business names should be large enough to read at arm's length. Use high-contrast colour combinations — dark text on a light background or white text on a dark background — for maximum visibility. If your magnet will include small text like an address or tagline, stick to clean sans-serif fonts.

For custom car magnets (coming soon), we recommend keeping text extra large since drivers and pedestrians will be viewing from a distance. Include your business name, phone number, and website — skip the fine print. A bold logo and a clear call to action work best for vehicle signage.
