What size are custom magnets?
The size of your custom magnets is up to you. That is the beauty of ordering custom-made magnets - they are tailored to your purpose.
While this opens a world of possibilities, making those decisions can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. But don't worry; we are here to simplify your choices and help you make informed decisions. Below, you can find tips on how to find your ideal magnet size and some popular sizing options for some of the most common magnet uses.
How to find the best size for your magnets
Let's start off with some tips on finding the best size for your custom magnets.
1. Consider where you will use your magnets
When it comes to magnets, size matters! Depending on the purpose of your custom magnets, you need to consider where you plan to stick them. If you choose incorrectly, you may end up with a product that doesn’t fit correctly and is too small or too large for the intended surface. For example, if you’re looking for a fridge magnet, the size should be big enough to make a statement without taking over the entire space.
2. Think about how much space your design needs
The size of your custom magnets is often dictated by the amount of information and imagery that will appear on them. Consider what kind of artwork and graphics you will include and how much surface area they will need. This is important to ensure that your design looks as good on a magnet as it does in your head.
3. If applicable, measure the surface area you want to cover
If you plan on covering a large space with multiple magnets, try measuring the exact dimensions of the surface area you want them to cover. This will help you determine the ideal size for your magnets and how many of them you will need.
4. Order a custom sample if you are still unsure
If all else fails, order a custom sample of your magnet and stick it on the intended surface. That way, you can see how it looks and ensure it’s the right size.
