There are 2 ways that you can get your art files to us:
1. You can email your art files to
bree@teammagnetpromotions.com.
2. You can upload your art files to our ftp site by clicking
here.
Either way, you will receive a confirmation email from us when we've successfully received your art files.
We prefer files saved in TIF or EPS. We will also accept .JPG formats.
If you don't have your art in electronic format, you can snail-mail the photo or logo to us at our offices, where we will scan in the picture ourselves and work with it from there. If you prefer, you may put the art on a CD-ROM or a Zip disk, and we can take it from there.
Our mailing address is:

PLEASE do not fax your art to us. It will not reach us in a legible or workable
state.

art specs if you plan to create your own art.
TMPU does not recommend using magnets near computers, computer disks,
or other digitally-encoded information!
As a general rule of thumb, it's not a good idea to keep magnets near any sort of digitally-encoded information. Best case scenario: you can slap one of our 15-mil magnets on the side of your computer's tower, and nothing will happen. On the other hand, in a worst-case scenario, you could put your magnet on your tower, you could put your magnet and a floppy disk into the same envelope, or you could be holding your credit card and a magnet in your pocket, and in every case, the data would be erased from the media. In most cases, nothing will happen; however, there is always the chance that the magnet could erase your data.
We certainly do! Our toll-free number is 1.800.747.9529.
TMPU does offer magnets in quantities less than 2,500; however, they must fit into one of our current 'stock' sizes. This stock size is subject to change due to seasonal magnetic sales. For example, we may offer a stock size for football magnets with a minimum order of 100 magnets.
For any other size other than our seasonal specialty 'stock' sizes, currently, the answer is "No". It takes quite a bit of time and effort to configure our die-cutters to cut out the magnets in any particular size or shape, not to mention the effort on the behalf of the printers and the coaters. The only way we can make this process cost-effective is to tailor it to the amount of output we'd be getting. Just click here to fill out a form, choose a design and upload the image that you would like featured on your magnet. We will send you a proof via email or fax. (If you are worried about color, we recommend receiving your proof via email, as faxed proofs don't retain color well.)
We do, in fact. For schools planning on multiple magnet projects throughout the school year, please call us at our toll-free number, 1.800.747-9529 or email us at
bree@teammagnetpromotions.com.
We ship via UPS ground from San Diego, California - so, depending on how far you are from us, your order will be in transit for any amount of time between one day and five days. Here is a link to the official UPS transit-time map for our zip code, 92020.
For custom magnet orders, depending on the order, there is typically 8-10 business day production period + shipping time.
We email your tracking number to you upon shipping, so you can always follow your order's progress.
After we have final art approval, we try for 8 business days for production and then we will ship out the magnets. UPS Ground, our default carrier, will get your shipment to you within 6 business days, anywhere in the continental US.
Our standard policy on giving proofs is that we design and print them only for serious inquiries. So, yes, if you have given us specifications for your custom magnet as well as enough information for us to give you a quote, we will give you a proof of your magnet's design and look.
One mil is one-thousandth of an inch, so 15-mil is fifteen-thousandths of an inch. 30-mil is twice as thick as that, and is heavier. The custom-imprinted magnets are 25-mil in total - 10-mil glossy stock glued and pressed onto 15-mil magnetic sheeting.
Please note: There is almost no difference between the magnetic strength of a 15 and 30-mil magnet. Some people prefer to have a thicker magnet, because it feels more substantial. MOST people prefer thinner magnets, because they can be mailed for less postage than thicker magnets (30-mil magnets weigh 2x as much as 15-mil magnets).
