Question
What Material Are Custom Magnets Made From?
Answer
Most custom magnets are a flexible magnetic sheet with a printed vinyl or cardstock face laminated on top. The type you choose changes how thick and durable that backing is.
| Type | Material notes | Environment |
|---|---|---|
| Car Magnets | Thick, weather-resistant backing, UV-coated face | Outdoor, on vehicles |
| Business Card Magnets | Thin, lightweight | Indoor, fridges and whiteboards |
| 3D Lenticular Magnets | Adds a lenticular lens layer for motion | Indoor promotional |
- The magnetic backing grips metal such as fridges, filing cabinets, and car doors without sliding.
- UV coating on car magnets is what keeps colors from fading in strong sun.
