Before you upload
Getting your file ready
Fridge magnets are printed on one side and cut to size, so your file needs a little extra around the edge. Four quick checks and your magnets will come out just the way you pictured them. Not sure about something? Ask us and we'll gladly take a look.
One page, one side
Magnets are printed on the front only, with the magnet on the back. Send one page at the size you choose in step 2, portrait or landscape.
Add 3mm bleed
Make your page 6mm bigger than the finished size, 3mm on every side, and stretch backgrounds and photos right to the edge. That way no white shows after we cut.
Keep 3mm safe inside the cut
Keep names, dates, logos and faces at least 3mm inside the cut line. Cutting can move a fraction, so anything closer to the edge could be trimmed off.
Sharp photos, one file
Use 300 dpi photos and CMYK colour, and embed your fonts. Upload a PDF, PNG or JPG, up to 20MB. Leave off any crop or trim marks.

Common questions
Can't see your question? Call us on 08 8688 2115 or send us a message.
How should I set up my file?
- Make one page at your size plus 3mm bleed on every side: Small 80 × 111 mm, Large 113 × 145 mm or DL 105 × 216 mm. Turn it on its side for landscape.
- Stretch backgrounds and photos right to the edge of the page.
- Keep text, logos and faces at least 3mm inside the cut line, which is 6mm in from the edge of your page.
- Save it as a PDF, PNG or JPG, up to 20MB, and upload it in step 1.
What sizes can I choose?
Three sizes: Small 74 × 105 mm, Large 107 × 139 mm and DL 99 × 210 mm. Each one can be portrait or landscape. Need a different size? Ask us for a quote.
What is bleed, and do I need it?
Yes. Bleed is an extra 3mm of background on every side that gets cut off. We print your magnets slightly bigger and cut them down to size, so the bleed makes sure colour runs right to the edge with no thin white line. Our Canva templates already include it.
What is the safe zone?
The safe zone is the area 3mm inside the cut line. Cutting can move a fraction, so keep anything important, like your names, date, phone number or faces in photos, inside it. In our Canva templates it's the inner purple line. The outer purple line is where we cut.
Can you print on both sides?
No. Magnets are printed on the front only, and the back is the magnet itself, so you only need one page.
What should I put on a save the date magnet?
Keep it simple: your names, the date and the town or venue, plus a line like “Invitation to follow”. A favourite photo works beautifully. Make the date the biggest thing on the magnet, as that's what guests need to remember, and check every name and date carefully before you order.
Do you have free Canva templates?
Yes, for every size, in portrait and landscape. Each one is set up with bleed, and purple guide lines show the cut line and the safe zone.

What file types can I upload?
A PDF, PNG or JPG, up to 20MB. PDF gives the sharpest text. Use 300 dpi photos and CMYK colour, embed your fonts, and leave off any crop or trim marks.
Can you design it for me?
Yes. Choose Custom design in step 1 and tell us what you'd like on it. We'll create 2 to 3 concept designs for you to choose from, then finish your pick ready to print. Your PDF proof arrives within 2 working days of choosing a concept, with 2 rounds of changes included. Printing starts once you approve the proof.
Can you check my file before printing?
Yes. Choose “Check my file” in step 3 for $20 and we'll check your size, bleed, resolution and colour setup before printing, and contact you if anything needs fixing. We don't check spelling or wording, so please check those carefully. If you choose “Print as supplied”, your magnets are printed exactly as supplied, and a reprint caused by something in the file is charged.
How many can I order?
From 20 magnets up to 1,000. Choose your quantity in step 2 and your total is shown in step 3. Need more, or a different size? Contact us for a quote. Need them by a certain date? Please contact us before ordering.
How will my magnets get to me?
All orders are printed, cut and sent from our shop in Tumby Bay with Australia Post, Australia wide. Orders placed on weekends and public holidays are processed on the next working day. We don't offer weekend or next-day delivery.
What if something's wrong with my order?
If your magnets arrive damaged, we made a mistake, or you received the wrong item, we'll reprint, replace or refund them. We can't offer refunds for a change of mind, mistakes in the file you supplied such as typos, wrong dates or missing bleed, or options chosen incorrectly at checkout. Please contact us and we'll sort it out.
