Custom Magnets for Corporate Mexico
Flexible fridge magnet with the corporate crest for the Polanco executive's refrigerator, acrylic photo magnet with the Riviera Maya sunset for the resort welcome kit, recycled-PET magnet with the regional map for the ESG-aligned brand activation, ceramic souvenir magnet with the Guadalajara cathedral for the tourism-partnership welcome bag, shaped 3D PVC magnet with the corporate mascot for the Expo Banamex trade-show drawstring bag. CMYK print, full-bleed, lead-free inks, LFPCA-tested. MOQ from 100 pieces, lead time 3–4 weeks, CFDI 4.0 in MXN.
Why the magnet still earns its slot in the Mexican corporate kit
The magnet is the small-format object that gets used the longest. A coffee mug sits in the cupboard, a notebook sits on the shelf, a stress ball sits in the hand, but a magnet sits on the refrigerator door or the office filing cabinet for years and gets seen by every visitor, every client, every member of the household, every colleague who walks into the kitchen. That sustained visibility is what makes a magnet outperform the equivalent spend on retention, recruitment and the welcome-bag moment — the small-format object that travels home with the recipient and gets seen by people the corporate will never reach through any other channel.
The category is also one of the easiest to get wrong on compliance. Magnets with PVC top layers containing phthalate plasticisers fail REACH and Prop 65 in the cross-border dealer drops. Magnets with rubber bases that contain toluene or benzene above the LFPCA threshold fail the import inspection. Magnets with lead-bearing inks fail the LFPCA import inspection. Magnets with neodymium content above the LFPCA disclosure threshold require the LFPCA-compliant carton label. We work only with phthalate-free flexible PVC top layers, LFPCA-tested rubber bases, lead-free inks, and LFPCA-disclosed neodymium content where applicable.
Five families cover the bulk of the Mexican magnet market. Flexible fridge magnets (the 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm magnetic rubber with the printable top layer, in rectangular, square, round and shaped formats) are the trade-show drawstring-bag giveaway standard and the resort welcome-kit standard. Acrylic photo magnets (the 3 mm to 5 mm clear acrylic with the photo print and the magnetic rubber back) are the premium welcome-kit standard and the partnership-award standard. Recycled-PET magnets (the post-consumer PET top layer with the magnetic rubber back) are the ESG-aligned brand-activation standard. Ceramic souvenir magnets (the 4 mm to 6 mm ceramic with the regional icon or the corporate crest) are the tourism-partnership welcome-bag standard and the AGM welcome standard. Shaped 3D PVC magnets (the resin-coated 3D mould with the corporate mascot or the regional icon) are the trade-show drawstring-bag giveaway standard and the school-uniform brand-activation standard.

For resort groups operating in the IMMEX-bonded inventory regime (Zona Hotelera Cancún duty-free stock), we hold blanket POs and release call-offs against them; the resort's purchasing team triggers the call-off, the goods ship from the bonded warehouse, and the pedimento is filed at the export moment. For the December aguinaldo cycle, we coordinate with the buyer's HR and finance teams on the recipient list, the per-recipient deductibility cap, and the personalised insert card production.
Where Mexican magnets actually end up
Five programs dominate the volume. Trade-show drawstring-bag giveaway for the Expo Banamex, the Expo Guadalajara, the CINTERMEX, the Centro Citibanamex, the World Trade Center CDMX — flexible fridge magnet or shaped 3D PVC magnet with the corporate crest, typically 1,000–10,000 pieces per show, dropped in the drawstring bag alongside the catalogue and the pen. Resort welcome kit for the Riviera Maya, Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta operations — acrylic photo magnet with the resort's signature sunset or beach, typically 100–500 pieces per quarter, dropped in the suite ahead of the guest's arrival. Tourism-partnership welcome bag for the CDMX, Guadalajara, Mérida, Oaxaca and Puebla tourism boards — ceramic souvenir magnet with the regional icon, typically 500–5,000 pieces per cycle, distributed at the tourism fair or the partnership welcome event. ESG-aligned brand activation for the listed corporations and the family-owned groups — recycled-PET magnet with the corporate crest and the sustainability-report claim, typically 250–1,000 pieces per cycle, dropped in the welcome bag at the AGM or the product launch. School-uniform brand-activation for the K-12 tier — flexible fridge magnet or shaped 3D PVC magnet with the school mascot, typically 500–5,000 pieces per cycle, distributed at the school-uniform handover event or the back-to-school kit.
The material and the shape vary by program: flexible fridge for the trade-show drawstring bag, acrylic photo for the resort welcome kit, ceramic souvenir for the tourism-partnership welcome bag, recycled-PET for the ESG-aligned brand activation. The recipient tier and the LFPCA compliance gate drive the material selection — we work with the buyer's compliance team to confirm the LFPCA labelling is in place before the material is locked.
