Step-by-Step Guide: Technical Specifications
Step 1: Base Material Selection
Choosing the right substrate is critical for brand alignment. Acrylic magnets offer a modern, high-gloss finish, while Enamel magnets provide a heavy, premium metallic feel. For lightweight mass distribution, Standard promotional fridge magnets are ideal, whereas PVC magnets allow for tactile, 3D embossed designs.
Step 2: Magnetic Pull & Thickness
For functional corporate gifts, the magnetic force must match the weight. A thickness of 0.5mm is standard for promotional items, but a premium Customised magnet should utilize 1.0mm to 1.5mm flexible magnets or high-grade ferrite discs to ensure they can hold multiple sheets of paper securely.
Step 3: Edge Finishing and Die-Cutting
Beyond standard rectangles, custom die-cutting allows for brand-specific shapes. High-precision laser cutting for acrylic or CNC molding for PVC ensures smooth edges. Avoid sharp internal angles in your design to prevent peeling and ensure longevity in high-touch environments.
Step 4: ESG & Material Safety
Premium corporate gifting now demands sustainability. Opt for phthalate-free PVC or recyclable acrylic bases. Ensure the magnetic backing is lead-free and REACH compliant, particularly if the magnets are intended for household or educational environments.

Printing Techniques for Custom Magnets
UV Digital Printing
Ideal for custom magnet printing on acrylic and standard promotional magnets. It supports full-color gradients and high-resolution imagery.
Visual Quality: Photographic sharpness with vibrant CMYK reproduction.
Durability: High; UV-cured inks are resistant to fading and moisture.
Soft Enamel Infilling
Used for metal-based customised magnet designs. Colored resin is manually or machine-filled into recessed areas of a metal mold.
Visual Quality: Classic, high-contrast look with distinct metallic borders.
Durability: Permanent; colors are recessed and protected by metal walls.
Offset Printing with Lamination
The standard for high-volume custom printed magnets. Paper is printed, laminated, and mounted onto the flexible magnetic sheet.
Visual Quality: Excellent color consistency for Pantone matching.
Durability: Moderate; the gloss or matte lamination protects against splashes and wear.

What are Custom Magnets & Benefits
Custom magnets are a high-utility corporate gift that secures a permanent spot in a client's daily environment—be it the office pantry or a home refrigerator. Unlike flyers, custom printed magnets are rarely discarded, offering a low cost-per-impression over years of use.
For Singaporean businesses, these items serve as "mini-billboards." A well-designed Customised magnet in a premium material like enamel or acrylic moves beyond a mere giveaway, becoming a valued piece of functional decor that keeps your contact information or brand message top-of-mind.
How do I Design?
Logo Positioning: Maintain a 3mm safe zone from the die-cut edge to avoid clipping during the cutting process.
File Formats: Submit all artwork in AI or Vector EPS formats. Ensure all fonts are outlined to prevent formatting errors.
Color Profile: Design in CMYK for UV and Offset printing. For Enamel or PVC, provide specific Pantone (PMS) codes to ensure brand accuracy.
