CUSTOM MAGNETS
Custom Magnets for Destinations, Museums & Brands
Turn a place, story or character into a collectible magnet collection designed for visitors, gift shops and retail programs.
From concept direction and material selection to sampling, packaging and production coordination, we help turn a theme into a collection that feels connected, recognizable and ready for retail.
WHAT WE DEVELOP
Magnet formats shaped around the story.
A magnet can be a small keepsake, a collectible marker or the first piece of a wider merchandise range. We help shape the format around the audience, artwork and retail setting.

BUILT AROUND A THEME
One magnet can start a collection.
A landmark, animal, character or brand story can first become a magnet, then extend into keychains, pins, coins, bookmarks, plush and gift sets.
A connected product range makes the story easier to recognize, collect and expand across different price levels and retail settings.

FAQ
Questions about custom magnets.
Can magnets be customized around a destination or landmark?
Yes. A landmark, place, exhibition, animal or local story can guide the shape, artwork, colour and finish of a custom magnet. We develop the product around the visual identity and intended retail context you provide.
Can one artwork be developed into several product formats?
Yes. A single idea can be adapted into a connected range such as a magnet, keychain, pin, coin, bookmark, plush or gift set. The formats are developed together so the collection keeps a coherent visual language.
What packaging options are available?
Packaging can include backing cards, sleeves, boxes, sets and other retail presentations. The right approach depends on the product, the artwork, the sales channel and how the collection needs to be presented.
Can caldvane support small and medium-size buyers?
We work with museums, attractions, destinations, retailers, brands and other buyers at different stages of development. We review the brief and intended range first, then confirm the practical production route for the project rather than promising a fixed quantity or lead time upfront.
How do we start a custom magnet project?
Start by sharing your idea, reference artwork, destination or brand context through the project enquiry form. We can then discuss the intended audience, formats, materials, packaging and next steps for sampling.
Can you help us choose the right magnet format for our target retail price?
Yes. We can discuss the intended audience, retail setting, product positioning and target price level, then coordinate suitable shapes, materials, finishes and packaging directions.
Can magnets be developed as part of a wider souvenir collection?
Yes. A magnet can be developed as the starting point for a wider collection that may include keychains, pins, coins, bookmarks, plush or gift sets based on the same theme.
