Promotional Magnets That Stay in View for Years
Promotional magnets are one of the highest-retention branded items in Australia. Unlike flyers, catalogues, or digital ads, a well-printed fridge magnet can stay on a customer's appliance for 3 to 7 years, quietly putting your brand in front of them every time they reach for the milk. We supply custom fridge magnets, business card magnets, calendar magnets, and vehicle magnets in bulk, fully branded with your logo. Low order quantities, full-colour digital print, free artwork setup, and Australia-wide delivery. Whether you need 250 for a letterbox drop or 10,000 for a national campaign, we can help.
Where branded magnets make the biggest impact
Magnets earn their keep in industries where being "top of fridge" equals being top of mind. The most common buyers we work with include:
- Real estate agencies using business card and calendar magnets as listing leave-behinds and appraisal thank-yous
- Trades and home services (plumbers, electricians, locksmiths, garage door repair) who want to be the first number found in an emergency
- Medical clinics, vets, and dental practices sending appointment reminder magnets
- Schools, sports clubs, and community groups running fundraiser campaigns or calendar fundraisers
- Hospitality and takeaway venues for menu magnets
- Charities and non-profits for awareness and helpline magnets
- Corporate marketing teams using die-cut magnets in conference packs and welcome kits
If repeat visibility is the goal, magnets almost always beat the alternatives on cost per impression.
How to choose the right promotional magnets for your campaign
The right choice comes down to three things: where they'll live, how long you need them to last, and how premium they need to feel.
- Best for mass letterbox drops: standard 90×55mm business card magnets, 0.6mm thick, full-colour gloss. Cheap per unit, easy to distribute.
- Best for long-term visibility: A6 calendar magnets. One magnet, 12 months of brand exposure. Order them in October or November for the following year.
- Best for premium gifting or die-cut shapes: custom die-cut magnets in your logo shape, laminated matte finish for a more considered look.
- Best for vehicles and outdoor use: thicker 0.7–0.9mm magnets with UV-stable lamination. Avoid anything thinner if they're going on cars, toolboxes, or machinery.
A quick note on thickness. 0.4mm feels cheap and can curl. 0.6mm is the sweet spot for fridge use. 0.7mm+ is what you want for vehicles or high-wear applications.

Custom magnet materials and options compared
Most promotional magnets in Australia are flexible rubber magnets with a printed vinyl face. Here's how the main options compare:
| Option | Price | Durability | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flexible rubber 0.4mm | Low | Mid | Short-term campaigns, bulk letterbox drops |
| Flexible rubber 0.6mm | Low to mid | High | Standard fridge magnets, calendars, business cards |
| Flexible rubber 0.7–0.9mm | Mid | High | Vehicle magnets, outdoor use, heavy-duty |
| Rigid domed/resin magnets | Mid to high | High | Premium gifting, conference packs, corporate kits |
| Custom die-cut shape magnets | Mid | High | Logo-shape magnets, brand-led campaigns |
Lamination matters too. Gloss finish gives punchy colour and a clean look. Matte finish feels more premium and hides scratches better over time.
Bulk and wholesale promotional magnets: what are your options?
Two main supply pathways, depending on your timeline and volume.
Offshore custom production suits large orders (typically 5,000+) or fully custom die-cut shapes. Lowest unit cost, lead time is usually 4 to 6 weeks plus shipping. Best for planned campaigns with a bit of runway.
Local stock and express suits smaller runs and tight deadlines. Standard shapes and sizes (business card, A7, A6) can be printed and dispatched within days. Unit price is higher than offshore, but you skip the lead time.
Pricing scales with quantity. There are no hidden setup fees, and your digital proof is always free before production. Need a price on volume? Request a quote, it takes 30 seconds and there's no obligation.

Custom Printed Fridge Magnets Frequently Asked Questions
Our standard MOQ starts at 250 units for business card and fridge magnets. For some custom shapes or thicker vehicle magnets, minimums can be higher. We'll confirm the exact minimum when we quote your job.
A 0.6mm flexible magnet with proper lamination typically stays in usable condition on a fridge for 3 to 7 years. Outdoor or vehicle magnets have a shorter life (1 to 3 years) depending on sun exposure and washing.
Business card size (90×55mm) is the most popular for trades and real estate. A6 (148×105mm) suits calendar magnets and anything that needs to be read from across the room. A7 (105×74mm) is a good middle ground.
Yes. We print full-colour CMYK digital, and we can colour-match from Pantone references provided at the artwork stage. Your digital proof will show exactly how the colours will reproduce before production.
