Choosing the Perfect Photo Magnet: Mylar vs. Slim Magnets at Petunia Moments

At Petunia Moments, we believe every cherished photo deserves to be more than just a memory (it should be beautifully displayed and preserved). That’s why we offer two high-quality custom photo magnet options: Mylar Photo Magnets and Slim Photo Magnets.

While both bring your favorite moments to life in a 2" x 2" square format using premium photo ink, they serve slightly different purposes. Here’s a clear breakdown to help you choose the right style for your needs:


Mylar Photo Magnets

Built to Last for a Lifetime!

Our Mylar Magnets are the gold standard in photo magnet quality.

  • Durability: With a thickness of 3 mil, these magnets are made to last a lifetime.

  • Magnetic Strength: These are super magnetic. Perfect for holding up heavier documents or artwork on your fridge or magnetic board.

  • Protection: Each magnet is encased in a mylar plastic layer that fully surrounds and protects the photo from scratches, moisture, and wear.

  • Appearance: The result is a bold, crisp, and vibrant photo display with our highest-quality finish.

  • Best for: Keepsakes, gifts, or daily use where strength and longevity matter.


Slim Photo Magnets

Stylish. Lightweight. Budget Friendly.

Our Slim Magnets are designed with affordability and style in mind.

  • Thickness: These magnets are 16 mil thick, making them thin and lightweight. Ideal for decorative purposes.

  • Magnetic Strength: They’re not intended to hold heavy papers or items but make perfect photo accents.

  • Protection: A laminated coating protects the photo surface and gives a smooth, polished finish.

  • Budget-Friendly: An excellent choice if you're looking to order in bulk or create a photo series without stretching your budget.

  • Best for: Displaying memories in a stylish way without needing heavy-duty holding power.
