Q. What is the most popular thickness?

Q. What should one expect to pay for a magnet?
A. The price of magnets varies on the number of colors you have imprinted, the types of colors, the quantity needed and the timeframe you need them. Go to our catalog and look at the prices to get an idea of what you will be paying.
Q. Can magnets be added to a postcard for mailing?
A. Yes. We also offer custom packaging. We have a process available that allows us to take a magnet (or many other three dimensional items) and laminate them to a postcard for mailing.
Q. Can magnets be included in a mailing at the first class rate for one ounce?
A. Yes. I recommend using the 6,12 or 15 mil magnet for this and, depending on your paper, you can usually add two sheets in the envelope. The best way to verify the weight of your mailer is to go to your local post office where you will be mailing from with your mailing. Ask them to weigh the mailer and to place a stamp on it. Keep it in a safe place in case there is a problem. Ask us about bulk rate mailing.

A. Our normal turnaround time for stock shapes is 7-10 working days after the artwork and appropriate documents have been approved. If you need the magnets is a shorter amount of time, a rush charge may apply.
Q. What is meant by the term "over/under" on your order form?
A. Magnets are produced on a printing press type machine. When they are run the machine normally will not stop exactly on the quantity needed so your order will be within a 10% tolerance.
Q. Do you supply proofs?
A. Yes. We will e-mail, fax or mail you a proof before the magnet is scheduled for production. Also, in certain cases, we will recommend that you get an actual proof of the product.
Q. I want to send my own artwork to you. How do I do it?
