How Are Fridge Magnets Made? Inside the Factory

From magnetic sheet to finished souvenir — the real production process explained step by step.

Step 1: Magnetic Sheet Production

Ferrite powder is mixed with rubber compounds and pressed into flexible magnetic sheets. The sheets are magnetized with a multi-pole pattern for stronger hold.

Step 2: Printing

Artwork is printed onto paper or PVC using UV digital or silk screen printing. For hard enamel, the design is transferred to a metal blank and baked with enamel colors.

Step 3: Die-Cutting or Molding

Flat magnets are die-cut from the printed sheets into final shapes. 3D soft PVC magnets are made by injecting liquid PVC into a steel mold, then demolding and trimming.

Step 4: Assembly & Lamination

Printed faces are bonded to the magnetic sheet. Premium products get a protective lamination or epoxy dome for extra durability and gloss.

Step 5: Quality Control & Packaging

Every magnet passes a visual and functional check — including magnetic strength testing. Finished products are packed into retail packaging or bulk cartons for export.
