The complete resource
Everything you need to know about ordering, sizing, and using custom photo magnets, for your home, your wedding, your event, or your business.
A photo magnet is a custom-printed image bonded to a flexible or rigid magnetic backing. Unlike mass-produced souvenir magnets, every custom photo magnets is made to order from your own photo, artwork, or design, giving you complete control over the image, size, shape, and finish.
The most common use is the fridge magnet: a personal photo printed and placed somewhere you look every day. But the category is broader: wedding photo magnets, event favors, business promos, baby announcements, and seasonal gifts all fall under custom photo magnets.
Your photo is printed on flexible vinyl or rigid acrylic stock, laminated with a UV-protective coating, and bonded to a magnetic backing. The laminate is what keeps colors vivid for years.
Premium photo magnets last 5+ years indoors without fading or peeling. UV-protected finishes handle normal kitchen conditions well. Avoid prolonged direct sun or heat.
Size affects how the image reads on the fridge and how the magnet ships. The four most common sizes cover the majority of use cases.
| Size | Best for | Ships in |
|---|---|---|
| 2 × 2 in (square) | Fridge collages, group sets, budget-friendly gifts | Standard envelope |
| 2.5 × 2.5 in (square) | Portrait photos, pets, single keepsakes | Standard envelope |
| 2 × 3 in (rectangle) | Save-the-dates, event favors, wallet-style photos | Standard envelope |
| 2.25 in (round) | Playful gifts, logo magnets, children's photos | Standard envelope |
