- 1,000 pcs
- Selected material
- Zinc alloy + UV printing
- Delivery
- DDP air to Spain
The client had an idea, but not yet a production plan.
The customer supplied one pink dolphin artwork file and needed guidance on material, budget, order quantity and shipping. We prepared four manufacturing routes, quoted both 1,000 and 5,000 pieces, and included sea-freight costs so the trade-offs were visible before sampling.
Our support continued through magnet layout, production artwork, sample photography, physical sample approval, mass production and DDP delivery.
Four quotations made the budget–quality choice clear.
Wood + epoxy
Clear, glass-like surfaceWarm appearance with a transparent domed finish. A wood base needs more protection in prolonged seaside humidity.
Wood + foil
Bright metallic shineStrong visual reflectivity and a distinctive finish, but the wood base is less suited to consistently humid coastal conditions.
Zinc alloy + UV
Best weight and premium feelThe highest-budget route, selected for its substantial feel, refined edge and souvenir-grade quality.
Iron + UV
Lowest-cost metal routeA practical price-led option, with lighter weight and lower perceived quality than zinc alloy.
One source file became a controlled production specification.
Fast decisions kept the project moving.

Questions buyers ask before ordering custom fridge magnets
What is the best material for a premium custom fridge magnet?
Zinc alloy is usually the strongest option when weight, a refined metal edge and premium souvenir quality matter. It costs more than iron or wood-based options, but offers the most substantial feel. The best choice still depends on design, quantity, budget and target market.
Which fridge-magnet material is suitable for humid or seaside climates?
Metal options such as zinc alloy are generally more suitable than wood-based magnets for consistently humid coastal environments. Wood magnets can deliver an attractive natural or foil finish, but should be protected from prolonged moisture exposure.
What files are needed to make a custom-shaped fridge magnet?
A vector file is ideal, but a clear logo, illustration or high-resolution image can also be reviewed. We can adapt the artwork into a production-ready shape, define the print and metal areas, and prepare a front-and-back confirmation before sampling.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom fridge magnets?
MOQ depends on the material, process, size and packaging. For this project we quoted 1,000 and 5,000 pieces so the client could compare unit costs. Smaller quantities may be possible for some constructions after the design is reviewed.
How long does custom fridge-magnet sampling take?
This zinc-alloy UV-printed sample was completed in 7 days and shipped by DHL for physical approval. Sampling time varies with artwork readiness, tooling, finish, color requirements and production workload.
Can you provide DDP delivery for custom fridge magnets?
Yes, DDP delivery can be arranged for eligible destinations. In this case, the approved 1,000-piece order was delivered to Spain by DDP air. Sea freight can also be quoted when the schedule allows and the order benefits from a lower freight cost.
What affects the price of a custom fridge magnet?
The main factors are material, dimensions, thickness, tooling, printing or enamel process, plating, magnet construction, quantity, packaging and delivery method. Sharing the target quantity, budget and delivery date allows us to compare realistic production routes.
Premium magnets, delivered with less uncertainty.
The client could compare realistic material options, approve the product before mass production and receive the order through one coordinated door-to-door route.
