Artwork Specifications

Preferred Files for Printing

The maximum file size we accept is 100 MB. Our preferred file types are:

  • Adobe Illustrator EPS (Encapsulated Post Script)
  • PDF (Adobe PDF)

When submitting these files, make sure you convert all fonts to outlines or curves to ensure they print correctly and the fonts are not substituted. 

Additional Files Accepted

  • JPG (High Resolution JPEG)
  • TIFF (High Resolution TIFF)
  • PNG (High Resolution PNG)

File Tips

  • Set up size proportionate to the exact size product you are ordering 
  • Convert all text to outlines 
  • Only Allow for bleed if necessary
  • Never flatten/merge layers in a PSD file
  • Indicate the cut line clearly for all decal products

Vector Art

Vector art consists of lines and curves that are mathematically defined objects. When viewing art in key line mode you can see the points or vectors when connecting your lines and curves. They can also be seen when using the pen tool or editing the points along a path. Vector art is ideal for type and drawn shapes because they can be enlarged to any size while maintaining crisp outlines and details without sacrificing quality. The distance between the vectors is calculated mathematically and is not dependent upon resolution. 

Raster Art

Raster images consist of colored squares, called pixels. They are created by combining a series of various colored pixels. Digital photographs are made up of pixels. If you view a raster image at 200% or more you are able to see the individual pixels that make up the image. Raster images are dependent upon resolution so image enlargement is limited by the individual size at which the file was created. If a file is produced at a size that is larger than its resolution will allow, the quality will decrease. Printing a low resolution file will result in pixelation. Individual pixels are large enough to be easily discernable. Increasing the resolution will not solve this problem is there are not enough pixels to begin with. The program will add more pixels based upon the estimation of their location and will then assign their neighboring pixels's color value. This may cause an image to look muddy. 

If submitting these files, please follow the guidelines below:

  • 100% scale (full size output) at 100 dpi
  • 50% scale at 200 dpi or higher
  • 25% scale at 300 dpi or higher
  • 10% scale at 600-1200 dpi recommended

More About Custom Photo Magnets Return to Top

At the genesis of the film camera, much of the world was shocked by its stunning and modern capabilities. Some groups of people are rumored to have believed that the flashbulb captured their souls. That may have been an accurate conjecture given that a picture captures the scene and spirit of its inhabitants. Maybe that’s why a single photo stirs up so many different sense memories at a mere glance. 

Photo prints are easily passed around at an event and shared en masse with groups of people. Magnets, however, are a convenient way to enjoy a single fond photo and you need not hassle with framing a print or continuously flipping through a photo book album. Turn your very favorite photos into magnetic fridge or office decorations and enjoy purely the very special moments.

Frequently Asked Questions Return to Top

Product Information

What magnetic materials do you use to make these?

Photo magnets are constructed out of either a standard or reflective 30 millimeter magnetic material..

What metals do magnets stick to?

Magnets will cling to any materials that are magnetic receptive, including iron, nickel, steel, and cobalt. They will not stick to stainless steel because it has a different alloy composition. If your kitchen appliances are stainless steel, try using a magnet on the washer or dryer instead.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

You can order one magnet or 1,000. We provide a bulk discount, so the more units that you order, the more money you save.

Can this magnet get wet if it has a photo on it?

All our magnetic products come with complimentary protective water and scratch-resistant laminate.

Are black and white photo magnets cheaper to print than color ones?

A standing rule with our products is that design elements like color will not directly impact the pricing. The factors that will affect the price are the material choice, cut, size and quantity of the product you are ordering. 

The same size and shaped black and white photo magnet will be the same price as a color photograph magnet.

Can I have my magnet cut to the contour of my photo?

Yes, we are able to produce magnets in any shape, or contour, you’d like to offer great personalization for your photos.

Do these magnets use a kind of photo paper?

Nope, like custom graphics, the photos are directly printed on the magnetic material and then a lamination is applied on top to help protect the graphic from moisture, scratching and fading..

What are some creative ways to use photo magnets?

Wedding Save the Date or Birthday party invites can be enhanced with a nice photo and help guests remember to show up to the event that they RSVP’d to months ago.  

You could also add a little friendly peer-pressure with a photo magnet of the next employee in line for the communal work fridge or microwave cleaning rotation. Be tasteful.

Do these products make good photo gifts?

These custom magnets absolutely make great gifts! Square magnets can effortlessly feature small, but formal, photos like school pictures. While die-cut magnets make it seem as if that adorable puppy is right on your fridge door—instead of chewing your sunglasses in the basement. So cute! They could also be handed out at special events as party favors.
