A custom magnetic card combines a printed graphic with a magnetic backing. It can display a logo, photograph or contact details on a compatible surface.
Types of magnetic cards
Flexible magnetic sheets and other constructions are available. Their holding strength and rigidity depend on the material and thickness.
Compatible surfaces
Conventional magnets adhere to certain ferromagnetic surfaces, but not to every type of metal. Always test the intended surface before production.
Design and photography
Check the finished size, crop, image resolution and legibility. Keep essential information away from the edge.
Shapes and dimensions
Straight and custom-cut outlines may be possible depending on the cutting system. The printer must confirm the feasibility of the chosen shape.
How to prepare the artwork
- Define the finished dimensions.
- Select the magnetic material.
- Check the image and text.
- Set up the bleed and cutting path.
- Test the product on its final surface.
Magnetic cards are one of several promotional formats. Compare the material, thickness, shape and intended application before ordering.
