Custom magnet printing is the production of magnets that feature a personalized design, text, or photo for a useable or informative purpose. In Australia, this trend is pretty much everywhere like homes, offices, schools, and small businesses and has spread just because of the great usefulness and adaptability of the product. Magnets are most often made of flexible magnetic sheets that can easily be attached to metal surfaces such as refrigerators, filing cabinets, or notice boards. Custom magnet printing is normally the result of a digital design. Samples of designs are well known to be the inclusion of contact details, timetables, track of ones duty, or even facilitation by instructional content. The task is done by appropriate digital or offset printing methods to make the results more visible and long, lasting. After printing, the product is laminated or sprayed with some protective agent to keep it from water, fading, and other types of wear which is especially the case of the weather in Australia.

Printed magnets can be as different in size and shape as imaginable. Generally, the magnet can be rectangular, square, round, or die, cut in shape, depending on how it will be used. The thickness is chosen based on the needed strength of the magnetic hold, thus, the thickness should be a good balance of flexibility and grip strength. Australia often pays close attention to the compliance of material safety and environmental standards, especially when magnets are used around children or in public places.

Besides that, custom magnets can be printed for distributing information, e. g. , emergency contact lists, calendars, or educational aids. Magnets in the workplace can be used as planning tools or visual reminders, while in homes they are mostly for the organization or personal reference. Printed magnets have a long lifespan, which makes them very convenient for repeated use without being replaced often.

On the whole, custom magnet printing is a great way to communicate visually and at the same time provide functionality to the users. Its popularity in Australia nowadays is a testament to the preference of durable, reusable, and space, efficient printed materials.
