Standard magnets are thin, flexible sheet magnets. Acrylic magnets are rigid acrylic pieces with a 10 mm round magnet attached to the back. Both can be cut to custom shapes, but they’re designed for different uses.
Which one should I choose?
Choose standard magnets for larger sizes, full-bleed printing, and flexible magnets (great for promos, fridge magnets, and car magnets).
Choose acrylic magnets for a premium, rigid, glossy look (best for small, decorative designs).
