Question
What is the metric equivalent for magnet thickness measurements in points?
Answer
Thickness in the print world is measured in points (PT), where one point equals one-thousandth of an inch. To convert, divide the point value by 1000 for inches, then multiply inches by 25.4 for millimeters.
| Points | Inches | Millimeters |
|---|---|---|
| 12PT | 0.012" | 0.30 mm |
| 14PT | 0.014" | 0.36 mm |
| 17PT | 0.017" | 0.43 mm |
| 30PT | 0.030" | 0.76 mm |
A higher point value means a thicker, more rigid material, which is why heavier magnets and cards feel sturdier in the hand.
