Did a looky-loo online for magnets to use on back of my business cards. came up with these http://www.dickblick.com/zz233/09/ and at less than 1 cent each (for the 750 pack), it's a good deal I think! I checked on pricing to buy the rolls of strip magnet to cut and use, but this seems like the best idea -- no cutting, and it's cheaper than the strip magnet! I thought it would be a good idea to put a small magnet on the back of the business cards I give my hosts so they can find my card :D
 
Great idea! Do you know where to buy them? Do they have a website?:)

just click on the link that's up there and it'll take you straight to their website. you can also google "magnetic adhesive", which is what eventually led me to those mounting tabs.
 
I got the magnets at WalMart that actually fit on the entire business card. I can not recall how much I paid for them but I think it was around $7.00 for 100, I know it was under $10 and they are awesome!
 
I get my magnets from MagnaCard and ABSOLUTELY LOVE the quality! :D
 
I use magnet valley. They have a website. The service is great, I usually get my order within 3 days. They have the 8.5 x 11 magnet sheets that you can run through your printer, so you can "design your own car sign". Just wanted to share.:)

Just curious what kind of printer do you print these on?

I have a HP laser (all black) and a HP all in one color, however all in ones many times don't work well according to magnet valley.

thanks

Or you could get the pads with the magnetic bc from Nancy's. I do this for my hosts, I also take out the center part of the magnet and put that on a card and then you have two items for the price of 1. Plus, the hosts love having the shopping list and I have never been to a hosts house where the grocery pad with my card isn't on the fridge!
