Magnetic Business Cards That Stay Within Reach

What Are Magnetic Business Cards Used For?
Magnetic business cards are designed to keep your contact information somewhere customers can easily find it, rather than tucked away in a wallet or desk drawer. They’re ideal for displaying on refrigerators, filing cabinets, electrical panels, toolboxes, metal shelving, and other magnetic surfaces where your business details remain visible day after day.
They’re particularly popular with tradespeople, home service providers, restaurants, delivery businesses, and local companies that rely on repeat business. By giving customers an easy way to find your phone number or website when they need your services, magnetic business cards can help keep your business front of mind long after your first visit.
Do Magnetic Business Cards Stick to All Refrigerators and Appliances?
Magnetic business cards are designed for everyday indoor use and are intended to stick securely to most magnetic metal surfaces rather than provide heavy-duty holding power. They work well on many refrigerators, filing cabinets, electrical panels, toolboxes, metal shelving, and other steel surfaces where customers are likely to keep important contact information.
However, not every appliance is magnetic. Many modern refrigerators and household appliances are manufactured using stainless steel, aluminum, glass, or composite materials, which may not attract magnets. If you’re unsure whether magnetic business cards are suitable for your customers, our business card sample pack includes a magnetic business card so you can test it on the exact surfaces where it will be used.
What Industries Use Magnetic Business Cards The Most?
Magnetic business cards are printed on durable, waterproof vinyl, making them an excellent choice for environments where traditional paper business cards may become damaged, misplaced, or worn out. They’re especially popular with tradespeople, restaurants, delivery services, real estate professionals, home service businesses, and other local companies that depend on repeat customers.
Many of these businesses want their contact details to remain visible long after the first visit. Refrigerators are one of the most common places for magnetic business cards in homes, while filing cabinets, toolboxes, electrical panels, and metal cabinets are popular locations in workplaces. By keeping your business details within easy reach, magnetic business cards help customers find your phone number or website whenever they need your products or services.
How Thick Are Magnetic Business Cards Compared to Standard Business Cards?
Our magnetic business cards are produced using 500-micron magnetic stock, giving them a durable yet flexible construction that’s designed to sit neatly against magnetic metal surfaces. Rather than feeling like a traditional paper business card, they have the look and feel of a lightweight refrigerator magnet that’s made for everyday indoor use.
Although they’re thicker than standard business cards, they’re still slim enough to post, hand out, and store with ease. The magnetic backing provides the durability needed for long-term display, helping your contact details remain visible in homes, offices, workshops, and other locations where customers are likely to see them regularly.
Can Magnetic Business Cards Be Written on with a Pen or Marker?
Yes. Magnetic business cards can be written on with a permanent marker, making them ideal for adding appointment dates, service reminders, inspection records, or other handwritten notes. They’re a popular choice for HVAC contractors, electricians, plumbers, and other home service businesses that want customers to keep important information somewhere visible.
Permanent markers generally provide the most reliable results, although some pens may also work depending on the finish of the magnetic stock. Magnetic business cards aren’t designed to be wipe-clean or reusable, so any writing is intended to remain in place. If you’d like to test a particular pen or marker before placing a larger order, we recommend requesting one of our business card sample packs first.
What Finish Works Best for Magnetic Business Cards?
The best finish depends on how your magnetic business cards will be used. Matte is a popular choice for a clean, professional appearance with reduced glare, and it’s the best option if you plan to write on the cards with a permanent marker for appointment dates, service records, or maintenance reminders.
Gloss creates a brighter, more vibrant finish that helps colours and images stand out, making it a great choice for promotional designs and bold branding. Whether you choose matte or gloss, both finishes produce durable, high-quality magnetic business cards, so the right option comes down to whether you value maximum visual impact or the ability to add handwritten notes.
Will Magnetic Business Cards Damage Refrigerators or Other Metal Surfaces?
No. Under normal indoor use, magnetic business cards are designed to attach safely to suitable magnetic metal surfaces without causing damage. Because they don’t use adhesives, they won’t leave behind sticky residue when they’re removed or repositioned.
For the best performance, apply your magnetic business cards to a clean, dry metal surface. While they’re manufactured from durable, waterproof vinyl, they’re intended for indoor use and shouldn’t be exposed to prolonged moisture or harsh outdoor conditions. With normal care, they’ll remain securely in place while keeping your contact details visible whenever your customers need them.
Can I Print My Magnetic Business Cards Double-Sided?
No. Magnetic business cards are printed on one side only, as the reverse side is the magnetic backing that allows the card to attach securely to refrigerators, filing cabinets, toolboxes, and other magnetic metal surfaces. This means all of your branding, contact details, and key information should be included on the printed face of the card.
A well-designed single-sided layout is usually all that’s needed. By keeping your logo, contact information, and call to action clear and easy to read, your magnetic business card remains highly visible and effective every time a customer sees it. If you need more room for information, our prepress team can help you create a layout that makes the most of the available space.
What Size Should Magnetic Business Cards Be?
The ideal size depends on how much information you’d like to include and where your magnetic business cards will be displayed. Standard landscape business cards remain the most popular option because they fit neatly on refrigerators, filing cabinets, toolboxes, and other magnetic metal surfaces without taking up too much space, making them easy for customers to keep in view.
Portrait and square magnetic business cards can be a great choice for appointment reminders, service schedules, or more creative layouts, while larger custom sizes provide additional room for calendars, emergency contact numbers, maintenance schedules, or promotional messages. Choosing the right size is all about balancing visibility with the amount of information you want to communicate.
We offer landscape, portrait, square, and custom-sized magnetic business cards ranging from 35×35mm up to 148×148mm, giving you the flexibility to create a design that suits your business and your customers’ needs.
Magnetic business cards are designed to keep your contact information somewhere customers can easily find it, rather than tucked away in a wallet or desk drawer.

They’re particularly popular with tradespeople, home service providers, restaurants, delivery businesses, and local companies that rely on repeat business. By giving customers an easy way to find your phone number or website when they need your services, magnetic business cards can help keep your business front of mind long after your first visit.
