Unisub Magnets

[Justin]

Does anyone stock Unisub magnets and could sell me a handful please? Customer wants samples and I don't want to buy a pack of 50 for them to say they don't want them

Assuming the Unisub ones are the best but plastic/hardboard, would look at either.

Could do with probably 12 rectangle.

Many thanks

Ever thought of making your own?

I sell a lot of fridge magnets and almost halved my costs by buying aluminium business cards and sperate business card size magnets - https://amzn.to/2Jcumif


The business card aluminium works out at about 27p each including delivery for a pack of 50 from ebay
The magnets work out at 40p each including delivery for a pack of 10 from Amazon.

Total cost 67p and I've never had a complaint. I used to buy fridge magnets from sublimation suppliers and they used to send little magnet strips or dot magnets. The business card magnets give a much better finish as it covers most of the back.

I've ordered 50 to get moving on the samples.

I had been thinking about that, they don't seem particularly cheap for a low value tourist gift item.

Would prefer hardboard/plastic I think to Aluminium but I'll take a look thank you. Was looking at the magnetic sheet and wondering if I could fashion my own.

Which cards do you use?

I use mpf wholesale, either ebay or direct.

I occasionally use their 11-inch square aluminium for clocks and just drill a hole in the centre, sadly they only do the .5mm and clocks really need at least .7mm thickness.

But they do a good quality cut and I've never had any rough edges from them which I have had from some cheap ebay suppliers.

I was just looking at theirs as I have a small order of discs on the way already. Dimensions show that the magnetic pads are slightly larger, are they a perfect fit?

Do you need to cover the back completely or would something like this suffice?

I see the same here but much cheaper?

Thanks for the link, I might give those magnets a try.

The magnets are slightly longer than the card and I trip them with scissors.

Ordered some cards and magnetic sheets to have a look at, cheers

Justin, you can buy self-adhesive magnetic sheet and tape. The bond is very strong and the magnetic material does not come away from the item when removed from the fridge or whatever it's placed on. Can be a bit pricey though so might need to shop around. The beauty is that it can be easily cut to be a neat fit to the back of the fridge magnet and no glueing required. Some tapes are 50mm width so would just need cutting to length to fit say a business card sized magnet made of metal, plastic, whatever.
