Font Styles: For both the photo-magnets and one color magnets below, we use Zap Chancery Calligraphy for the majority of our orders. It is a very nice style for weddings. However, we do have other fonts, some are listed below.  If you have a special request we will try to use it.  If you don't pick a different font, we will use Zap Chancery Calligraphy.

*The above printing is free, but if you prefer a richer embossed look and feel, we can gold stamp with hot foil printing any wording of up to 30 letters and spaces for a one-time set-up fee of $20.00 for one line, or $30.00 for 2 lines (and add .10 cents each per magnet for gold stamping).

All Magnets are not the same!
Please Beware of Cheap Knock-offs!

PLEASE, PLEASE do not confuse our long lasting professionally made magnets with other very low quality magnets you may have seen offered on other websites. Their prices reflects their quality. They are cheaper because they are cheaply made. Other magnets are sometimes very cheaply made or done from a computer inkjet or laser printer made with plain paper or cardstock and the photo quality has a poor quality digital look. Our high quality photo-magnets are done on a huge commercial printing press with permanent color that will last a lifetime. Our magnets are professionally cut and sealed with a crystal clear lamination for added durability and protection. They are 100% SMUDGEPROOF and WATERPROOF. Beware of the companies that say there production time is just a few days to a week, as these are probably done instantly on a printer similar to your home computer printer, and the ink may bleed if a drop of champagne falls on them. Other magnets many times use paper thin magnet material. Ours are a substantial 1/32th of an inch thick, but are light enough to be mailed with just one first class stamp. You want to give your guests something nice that they will appreciate, admire and keep. I would be happy to send you a sample from a past wedding ~ just call me or email me.

Our BEST QUALITY CUSTOM PHOTO-MAGNETS:

         Our Best Quality magnets are made with high quality Kodak Royal Gold photographs that have a thin protective coating on its surface. We permanently bond them to strong 1/32th" double thickness flexible magnet material, and finish up by framing each magnet with a crisp black border around the edges. (Size: 2 1/2 by 3 1/2"). Gold-stamped with your personalization (optional). Send us your picture or pick one from our stock photo images.
 
 

     STOCK PHOTO-MAGNETS:

  Order any amount of stock magnets from our web catalog. You can mix and match these for an assortment. They can be custom gold stamped with your names and wedding date, or any personalization you want (or they can be ordered unimprinted ~ great for all kinds of gifts).

 WHOLESALE PRICES ~
QUANTITY DISCOUNTS FOR Best Quality CUSTOM AND STOCK MAGNETS:

  1.  Quantity prices for custom magnets are per custom photo image.

  2.  Quantity stock magnets prices apply to the total and you can order any assortment of stock images from our web page as long as you order at least 1/2 dozen per image.

  3.  Also, if you wish to order, for example, 100 custom magnets for $2.00 each, you can also order an extra dozen Angel magnets, or whatever (printed or unimprinted) for the $2.00 each price.

  4.  Similarly, if you wish to order, for example, 100 stock magnets for $2.00 each, you can also order an extra dozen custom magnets (from the Second Option below only) for the $2.00 each price, as well.

               1 Dozen:   $4.50 each  ( 12 -  23)
       over 2 Dozen:   $3.50 each  ( 24 -  47)
       over 4 Dozen:   $3.00 each  ( 48 -  71)
       over 6 Dozen:   $2.50 each  ( 72 - 143)
       over 12 Dozen:  $2.25 each  (144 - 287)
       over 24 Dozen:  $2.00 each  (288 - 479)
       over 40 Dozen:  $1.75 each  (over  480)
 
 

FIRST OPTION FOR Best Quality CUSTOM MAGNETS FROM YOUR PHOTO:

        Send us a 35 mm negative, along with the photo (so we can match the color). If you only have a photograph, slide or artwork, (perhaps you have a favorite drawing that you or friend has drawn or painted) and you do not have a negative, you can easily obtain a 35 mm copy-negative, also called an internegative, and a photo reprint from most photo shops for about $5.00 to $10.00.  They can do this a lot less expensively than we can, since we are not set up for this procedure. For your convenience, however, you can send us your photo, 35 mm slide, or artwork and we charge a one time set-up fee of $20.00 and this could add 1 to 2 weeks to our delivery time.

SECOND OPTION FOR CUSTOM MAGNETS:

   Our Fastest Delivery on this option. If you want more than one image or a different size magnet, then don't send us any negatives or slides. Just obtain the exact number of photo reprints (3 1/2 by 5") from your local photo shop and we will make them into magnets. You can also send us postcards, or color Xeroxes of your photos or printed artwork up to 3 1/2" by 5" each. You can cut your photos to any size rectangle or square that you want your magnets to be. Your magnets will be the same size as the photos, postcards, etc., that you send us, less approximately 1/16" to 1/8" on all four sides, which will be cut off, so make sure there is nothing important near the edges of the photos you that you want in the scene. If you want 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" size magnets (the size we use for our magnets), then ask your photo shop for "wallet size" reprints (ask for these uncut, if possible - this means they will probably come with 2 pictures on a 3 1/2 by 5" photo or 4 pictures on a 5 by 7", etc.). For this 2nd option, you can mix and match for the quantity discounts.  For example, you can send us an assortment of photos, postcards, etc., (different sizes is okay, too). If you prefer to send any 4" by 6" photos, add 50 cents for each magnet to all above prices. (Please Note: Your photos, postcards etc., will become the magnets and are not returned separately). If you send us wallet size or smaller: deduct 25 cents each from above prices!

Optional CUSTOM GOLD STAMPING:

    We can personalize your magnets with your first names and wedding date imprinted in gold (or any wording you would like up to 30 letters and spaces). Photo-magnets are not just for weddings!! They are great for other purposes, as well, for example: party favors, special events with date, graduations, anniversaries, birthday parties, Xmas cards, new baby or new home announcements. Also custom
magnets are fantastic for promotional advertising, because we can print your business name, and/or phone number on the magnets. Hotels, Restaurants, B & B's, Historical buildings or any business can send us any photo and have the business name imprinted. Using the 2nd Option, businesses can send us postcards they may already have purchased for their business for same size magnets. Retail shops and stores can send a photo of local landmarks that are popular and have very localized magnets for their stores, or they could just send us the postcards that they already have for sale, for same size magnets. Photographers and entrepreneurs can take pictures of local scenes and sell them to stores or other  businesses. Or sell them at fairs, flea markets or festivals and make extra money on the weekends.

         There is a one time set-up fee of $20.00 for Gold Stamping. (For 2 lines, the set-up fee is $30.00). There is no charge for the same imprint on any future orders.

All Magnets are not the same!
Please Beware of Cheap Knock-offs!

PLEASE, PLEASE do not confuse our long lasting professionally made magnets with other very low quality magnets you may have seen offered on other websites. Their prices reflects their quality. They are cheaper because they are cheaply made. Other magnets are sometimes very cheaply made or done from a computer inkjet or laser printer made with plain paper or cardstock and the photo quality has a poor quality digital look. Our high quality photo-magnets are done on a huge commercial printing press with permanent color that will last a lifetime. Our magnets are professionally cut and sealed with a crystal clear lamination for added durability and protection. They are 100% SMUDGEPROOF and WATERPROOF. Beware of the companies that say there production time is just a few days to a week, as these are probably done instantly on a printer similar to your home computer printer, and the ink may bleed if a drop of champagne falls on them. Archival inks are better, but if they say they use archival inks, that definitely means they are done on a computer printer. Other magnets many times use weak paper thin magnet material. Ours are a strong substantial 1/32th of an inch thick (25 mil), but they are still light enough to be mailed with just one first class stamp. You want to give your guests something nice that they will appreciate, admire and keep. I would be happy to send you a sample from a past wedding ~ just call me or email me.
