Sublimation blanks manufacturers and suppliers, like Unisub, are introducing several new metal shapes for use as refrigerator magnets, like hex/honeycomb, rectangle, square, round, and banner/tag. Try flipping the banner shape upside down to use as a tag (shown above).
Whether used to show off a favorite photo, provide save-the-date info, or promote a business, a personalized refrigerator magnet is a unique and inexpensive communication device that everyone loves.
Each shape comes with a 1″ magnet attached to the back after imaging. Sublimate your contact info on the back so that people know where they came from and can contact you for any of their needs.
