Magnetic Picture Frames With the Magnet Seated in the Body
There is no adhesive pad on the back of this frame. Each magnetic picture frame is pressed in a single ABS tool with the magnet seated into the moulding itself, so the rear face leaves the machine as one flat plane. Nothing can peel away in a warm kitchen, and there is no raised edge to catch the paint on a refrigerator door.
The print sits behind a clear window inside a body hinged along one side, so a photo drops in by hand. Frames are moulded to link along that same edge, which is why a run of magnetic picture frames can hang as a row or fold into blocks.
Off the sample held here: the frame measures 65 mm across, 88 mm down and 6 mm thick, and the recess takes a 55 x 85 mm print, the standard 3-inch instant size, so a photo goes in without trimming; the clear window shows about 42 x 62 mm of it.
One magnetic picture frame weighs about 13 g with the magnet in place. Pink, transparent, light grey, green, orange, yellow, purple and blue sit in stock and mix inside one carton from 50 pieces. Border printing is quoted from the artwork, and a sample is charged, then credited against the agreed bulk quantity.
The Magnet Is Moulded In
It is seated into the tool and comes out as part of the body, not stuck on afterwards. A magnetic picture frame that ends up on a warm refrigerator door has no glued pad to lift or slide, and the rear face stays flat against the metal.
A 3-Inch Print Drops Straight In
The recess fits a 55 × 85 mm instant photo — the size from the camera, so nothing is trimmed and no mount is needed. Pair these magnetic picture frames with an instant camera and hand them over as a set.
Frames Link and Fold
A hinge runs along one side edge, so the frames sell singly, hang as a row, turn portrait or landscape, or fold into a block. That detail turns a plain fridge magnet into a display a shop can build up.

Magnetic Picture Frames: Sizes and Order Terms
The figures below were read off the frame kept in the workshop, with the buying terms listed beside them. Two of them decide most of the cost: whether the border carries print, and whether the shade is one we hold or one that has to be matched for a run of magnetic picture frames.
Because the body and the magnet come out of the same moulding, there is no separate fixing to specify and no adhesive to age.

What can be moved, and what it costs
Border Print, Frame Shade, Joint and Packing
Four decisions carry the price on this piece: what goes on the border, the shade the body is moulded in, whether magnetic picture frames are made to link, and how they leave the carton.
Every one of them is priced on its own, so a buyer can weigh one change against another before anything is tooled.

These shades sit on the shelf, so no magnetic picture frame in the list needs a mould to be run, and a carton may carry several. A shade outside the stock list is a matched batch: send a Pantone number or post a chip over, and the minimum for that run is confirmed with the artwork, since the quantity and the colour are priced together. The first frame off a matched batch is kept here as the workshop standard.
A logo printed on the border
The strip below the window is about 20 mm deep — room for a mark and a line of copy. Silk screen suits flat solid artwork on ABS; UV printing takes fine detail and photos. Send vector art and a printed frame returns.
The shade the body is moulded in
Stock shades run with no tooling charge, keeping a trial order small. A matched shade is quoted with the artwork; a translucent or pearl finish is a separate brief, since the compound changes too.
Whether the frames are made to link
A hinged side edge lets the frames sell singly, hang as a run, turn portrait or landscape, or fold into a block. Drop the joint for single magnets, or keep it for displays — the rear, window and print stay the same.
How the frames leave the carton
One frame to an OPP bag is standard, then bulk into cartons. A printed header card, kraft gift box or retail-ready packing each carry their own cost and minimum; a header card is the cheapest shelf option.

Where Magnetic Picture Frames Sell: Photo Counters to Souvenir Stands
Photo and stationery retailInstant camera accessory sellersKitchen and homeware storesGift and souvenir shopsSupermarket promotionsOnline wholesale sellers
A photo shop keeps a basket of them beside the instant cameras, and a souvenir stand sells them with a city print already inside.
What sells the piece is the rear face: a magnetic picture frame sits flat on a metal door and comes away clean when the photo is swapped.
Five Stages Between Your Artwork and a Sealed Carton
01
Send the artwork and the count
How many magnetic picture frames, which shades, the vector file for the border, the packing you want, and the country it ships to.
02
Fix the specification
Shade, print placement, whether the frames carry the linking edge, the packing and the carton plan go onto one sheet you sign off before a magnetic picture frame is pressed.
03
Approve a printed frame
A printed magnetic picture frame is made up from your artwork and couriered over, so the shade, the print and the seat of the magnet are judged on a piece rather than a proof.
04
Press, print and seat
The body comes off the tool with the magnet seated as part of the same cycle, then the border is printed and cured, so the printing never waits on the moulding.
05
Check, count and carton
Each frame is gauged, weighed and flexed at the joint, a print is slid in and out, and the run is tallied shade by shade before every magnetic picture frame is bagged and boxed.
Off the line, before packing
Every Magnetic Picture Frame, Checked Before Packing
Width, height and thickness gauged on a magnetic picture frame as a shift opens
Magnet checked on every magnetic picture frame for a flush seat, with nothing proud of the rear face
Window checked for scuffs, then a 55 x 85 mm print slid in to confirm the recess clears it
Border print lined up with the approved artwork, and ink checked along the edge and the face
Hinged edge flexed on sample frames to be sure the joint does not whiten or crack
Shade split and count reconciled with the packing sheet before the frames are bagged
Questions that come up first
Magnetic Picture Frames: What Buyers Ask First
What photo size do these magnetic picture frames take?
They are built for the 3-inch instant print, so a 55 x 85 mm photo drops straight in with no trimming and no mount. That is the size an instant camera produces and the format most photo shops already stock, so a buyer does not have to cut anything to fill a frame. The clear window on these magnetic picture frames shows about 42 x 62 mm of the print.
Can our logo or artwork be printed on the frame?
Yes. Silk screen and UV printing both run on the border, and the strip below the window is about 20 mm deep, which leaves room for a mark and a line of copy. Send vector artwork and a printed frame comes back as a sample first, so position, size and colour are settled on a piece before the run of magnetic picture frames is booked.
How are they packed, and can the packing be changed?
One frame to an OPP bag, then bulk into export cartons. A printed header card, a kraft gift box or retail-ready packing can all be arranged, and each carries its own cost and its own minimum. The header card is the usual choice when a brand wants its magnetic picture frames visible on a shelf without paying for a box.
What is the frame made from, and how is the magnet fixed?
The body is ABS, pressed in one piece, with the magnet seated into the moulding as the frame comes off the tool rather than glued on afterwards. That keeps the rear face flat, so it will not lift away from the frame and will not mark the paint on a refrigerator door. The front carries a clear window over the print.
What is the minimum order?
Stock shades for magnetic picture frames open at 50 pieces and several can be mixed inside one carton, which is what makes a small trial possible. A printed border, or a shade matched to your own reference, is quoted from the artwork, since colour and quantity are decided together, and that figure is confirmed before anything is scheduled.
How do samples work, and is the sample fee refundable?
A sample is charged. When the bulk order reaches the quantity agreed at quotation, that sample fee is credited back against the order. Freight on the sample sits with the buyer. A printed sample is made from your artwork, so the border position and the shade are approved on the piece that production of your magnetic picture frames will follow.
