Create Magnet Design

To design the front of your custom magnet you can use a variety of different methods. If you are familiar with the Adobe suite, you can use Photoshop or Illustrator. If you are interested in a method that doesn’t require learning a software and spending money, we recommend using Canva! Canva is a great way to find templates and design from scratch. You can also use our design tool. We offer a wide variety of clipart, fonts, a color picker and more so that you can create an entire design from scratch all on our website! You can name your designs and save them in your account too making it really easy to keep track of your work. If you want to take it a step further you can see a 3-D model of your design by using computer-aided design (CAD) software to create a detailed model of the magnet. This design can and should include all dimensions and tolerances.

Manufacturing and Finishing

Choose a reliable manufacturer that specializes in custom magnets. Provide them with the final design specifications and oversee the production process to ensure quality control. After manufacturing, add any finishing touches, such as coatings or labels, and perform a final quality check before use or distribution.
