Magnets

Custom magnets for the fridge are flexible printed magnets with your full-color design on the front and a magnetized back, on 17pt or 35pt indoor magnet stock under a UV coating. Custom fridge magnets come in sizes from a 2" x 3.5" card magnet to a 5" x 7" calendar, and the same stock makes thank you magnets for customers.

The Print That Never Hits the Trash

A flyer gets a glance and goes in the recycling bin; a magnet goes on the fridge or the filing cabinet and stays there for months, with your name in front of the household each time they open the door. Print a logo, a calendar, a save-the-date or a coupon in full color on flexible indoor stock and pick your size. Standard magnets start at $19.68, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 67 reviews.

A magnet costs about the same as a full-color card to print and stays in view for months instead of one look. Match the size and the stock to the job; every option below comes from the live configurator, so what you see is what you can order.

What Are Custom Magnets

Custom magnets are flexible printed magnets made in 5 sizes on 17pt or 35pt indoor magnet stock, printed full color and finished with a UV coating. A magnet is a flat, flexible sheet with a printed face and a magnetized back, so it sticks to any steel surface without tape or tacks.

You get 5 sizes, from a wallet-friendly 2" x 3.5" up to a 5" x 7", on your choice of 17pt or thicker 35pt stock. Print a logo, a calendar, a coupon, or an event date, and it lands somewhere people look every day. If you want the wallet-card format that also sticks, the Business Card Magnets are built around exactly that size, and for a vehicle the Car Magnets use a heavier outdoor stock.

For custom fridge magnets or thank you magnets, one order covers these choices:

• Sizes: 2" x 3.5", 3" x 4", 4" x 6", 5" x 7", or Any Size set in the configurator.
• Stocks: 17pt Indoor Magnet or the thicker 35pt Indoor Magnet.
• Ink: 4/0 full color or 1/0 black on the front, with a blank magnetized back.
• Finish: UV coating on every magnet.
• Corners: square, or rounded at a 1/8" or 3/8" radius.
• Quantity: 25 to 25,000 magnets across 30 tiers.
• Production: 5 business days standard, with rush speeds down to same day.
• Proof: straight to production, a free online proof, or a next-day hardcopy proof.

Printed Magnets vs Industrial Magnets

These are full color printed flexible magnet sheets, not neodymium or rare earth magnets. The print sits on 17pt or 35pt indoor magnet stock under a UV coating, and the magnetized back holds flat on a fridge, a filing cabinet, a whiteboard or a vehicle panel. Nothing here is sold as a lifting or holding magnet.

What Sizes and Stocks Do Magnets Come In

Standard magnets come in 5 sizes, from 2" x 3.5" up to 5" x 7", on 2 indoor magnet stocks: 17pt Indoor Magnet and thicker 35pt Indoor Magnet. The size and stock together decide how the magnet feels and where it fits.

A 2" x 3.5" is the classic business-card magnet for a fridge or a toolbox, a 4" x 6" or 5" x 7" gives a calendar or a photo real presence, and the 3" x 4" sits comfortably in between. The 17pt stock keeps the magnet light and low in cost, while the 35pt stock feels substantial and lies flat at the corners. The specs panel lists all 5 sizes and both stocks, each finished with a UV coating that keeps the color bright through months of handling.

4 by 6 inch and other magnet sizes

• 2" x 3.5" (2 by 3.5 inch), business card size, the one that goes on the fridge beside the takeout menus and stays there.
• 3" x 4" (3 by 4 inch), room for a logo, a phone number and a short offer without crowding the artwork.
• 4" x 6" (4 by 6 inch), postcard size, enough space for a photo save-the-date or a service calendar.
• 5" x 7" (5 by 7 inch), the reading size, for a year calendar, an appointment reminder or a framed-look photo.
• A larger option rounds out the size list when 5" x 7" still is not big enough.

Can You Print Magnets in Full Color

Yes. Standard magnets print either 1/0 black ink on the front or 4/0 full color on the front, both finished with a UV coating, on a blank magnetized back. Choose 1/0 for a clean, low-cost black print, or 4/0 for full color that makes a logo, a photo, or a calendar pop.

Every magnet is sealed with a UV coating that protects the ink and adds a subtle sheen, so the print stays sharp even after months on a fridge door or a truck panel. The back is left blank and magnetized, ready to stick the moment it arrives. Hand one out at a counter and the customer takes it home to the fridge.

Design Methods for Custom Fridge Magnets

You can get artwork onto a magnet three ways, and the right one depends on what you already have.

• Start from a template: open a layout in our magnet design templates, change the colors, copy and logo in the online editor, and order from the same screen. This suits a thank you magnet or a calendar with a set layout.
• Design online from a blank canvas: build the magnet in the online designer at the exact size you ordered, from a 2" x 3.5" card magnet to a 5" x 7" calendar.
• Upload finished art: send a file your designer built, laid out on the blank template for your size so the bleed and safe margin are already in place.

Whichever route you take, keep a phone number or a date inside the safe margin, since that is the line a household reads from across the kitchen. A free online proof shows the layout on screen before the run prints, and a next-day hardcopy proof puts a real magnet in your hand first.

Preferred Files for Printing Magnets

The file you upload decides how sharp the printed face looks under the UV coating, so build it at the size you ordered rather than scaling a small image up.

• PDF: the best choice for logos and type, because it keeps vector shapes and fonts sharp at any size.
• JPG or PNG: fine for photos, when the image is saved at full size for the magnet you ordered.
• Color: set the artwork in full color for 4/0, or in black only if you ordered the lower-cost 1/0 print.
• Bleed: extend the background past the trim to the bleed line on the blank template, so no white edge shows after the cut.

Only the front prints. The back of every magnet stays blank because the magnetized side has to sit flat on the fridge or the filing cabinet, so leave the back of your file empty and put every word on one face.

Vector Art for Sharp Magnet Printing

Vector art is artwork drawn as shapes and lines rather than pixels, and it is the format that keeps a logo crisp on a printed magnet. A vector logo prints with the same clean edges on a 2" x 3.5" card magnet as on a 5" x 7" calendar, because the press draws the shape at whatever size you choose.

Pixel images behave differently. A logo copied from a website looks sharp on screen and soft on a magnet once it is stretched to 5 by 7 inches. Use vector for:

• Logos and marks, including the one on a business card magnet.
• Type, such as a phone number, a service list or a thank you line.
• Calendar grids and lines, which show jagged edges in a low-resolution image.

Photos stay as images, so place them at full size. Save the finished layout as a PDF with the vector parts left as shapes, and the 1/0 black print or the 4/0 full color print keeps every edge clean.

What Are Custom Magnets Used For

Custom magnets are used for business card magnets, fridge calendars, save-the-date announcements, appointment reminders, coupons, and promotional handouts that stay visible on a steel surface for months. A magnet stays on the door, so it suits anything the household needs to remember.

Service businesses print a card magnet with a phone number that lives on the client's fridge, real estate and insurance agents run branded calendars, and event hosts send announcements that stick on the door. A restaurant coupon, a school schedule or a sports team calendar goes on the same door. If you are announcing a date, the Save the Date Magnets are made for exactly that job.

Wally sticks it where they'll see it

Custom magnets, kept for months

Here is the quick version of magnets from 4OVER4.COM: pick from 5 sizes, choose 17pt or 35pt indoor stock, print black or full color with a UV coating, and Wally hands over a magnet that sticks on the fridge and keeps your name in view for months.

How Do Magnets Compare to the Rest of the Range

Standard magnets are the keep-it-forever pick in the range, while flat cards and postcards are cheaper per piece but do not stick or last on a surface the way a magnet does. Magnets win when you want your print to stay put and get seen every day, not read once and recycled.

If you need a wallet card, a flat handout, or a mailer instead, the range has cheaper per-piece options. For a fridge calendar, a service reminder or a promo that has to stay on a steel surface, order the magnet. The chart above lines magnets up against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

If the magnet has to travel by mail rather than pass hand to hand, magnet postcards put the magnet on a card built to be mailed, and car magnets are the version made for a vehicle door.

How Fast Can You Get Magnets

Standard magnets print on a 5 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 4-day, 3-day, 2-day, Next-Day, or even Same-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it.

Same-Day orders need to be approved by the cutoff to ship that day, so build in a little lead time if a launch or an event is close. Compare every turnaround tier below and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick, and order at the standard speed whenever the calendar allows to keep the price at its lowest.
