Magnets

  • 30 mil magnet: the vehicle standard. Car magnets and the heavier cut-to-shape magnets are on it. Holds at highway speed on flat steel.
  • 20 mil (.020) magnet: lighter sheet for fridge magnets, promotional cut-to-shape pieces and indoor use.
  • 14pt magnets: printed cardstock with a magnetic backing, the economical handout magnet for business cards, calendars and save-the-dates.
  • Magnetic bumper stickers and die-cut magnets use the same sheets cut to shape.
