Game day locker magnets are a tradition at a lot of North Texas schools. A parent group makes up a magnet for each player and puts them on the lockers before the athletes arrive, decorated for that week’s game.
They cost very little and they end up on refrigerator doors for a decade. We have had parents order replacements years later because the original was lost in a house move, which tells you something about what they are actually worth.
Part of our school spirit and team sports range.
Common locker sizes are 4×6, 5×7 and 6×8 inches, with 5×7 the usual choice for a name and photograph magnet. Schedule magnets for refrigerators are typically 3.5×4 or 4×6.
Printed on 30 mil magnetic sheet and laminated. Cut square with rounded corners as standard, or contour cut to a shape for a premium version.
The lamination matters more here than people expect, because these get handled constantly. An unlaminated magnet on a locker that gets opened forty times a day will scuff within a season.
Check before ordering a full team set. This is the single thing that goes wrong with locker magnet orders.
Standard steel school lockers hold magnets well. But plenty of newer installations, and most refurbished ones, use aluminium, plastic laminate or composite doors, and a magnet will not hold at all on any of those. Aluminium in particular fools people, because it looks exactly like steel.
Take a household refrigerator magnet to the locker room and test it. Thirty seconds, and it prevents an expensive mistake.
If the lockers turn out to be non-magnetic, we can produce the same design as a removable adhesive decal or as a hanging tag on a hook, both of which work fine and neither of which requires reordering the artwork.
Send a spreadsheet of player names, numbers, positions and grade years, plus photograph files named to match each player. The whole set is produced as one variable data run, so personalised magnets cost close to the same per unit as identical ones.
Naming the photograph files after the players rather than leaving them as camera filenames saves a great deal of time and avoids the risk of a face being matched to the wrong name, which is a mistake nobody wants to explain to a parent.
The most common locker magnet sizes are 4×6, 5×7 and 6×8 inches, with 5×7 the usual choice for player name and photograph magnets. iCandy Grafix also produces contour cut magnets shaped to a mascot, jersey or helmet outline.
Most school lockers are steel and hold magnets well, but many newer and refurbished lockers use aluminium, plastic laminate or composite doors that will not hold a magnet at all. Test with a household magnet before ordering a full team set, and iCandy Grafix can supply adhesive decals or hanging tags instead if needed.
Yes. Send a spreadsheet of names, numbers and grade years plus photograph files named to match, and iCandy Grafix produces the full set as a single variable data run, so personalised magnets cost close to the same per unit as identical ones.
Yes, as standard. Locker magnets are handled constantly and an unlaminated magnet on a frequently opened locker scuffs within a season. Lamination adds very little cost and keeps them looking new through the year.
Locker magnets take 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, including personalised team sets. Allow extra time for collecting player photographs from families, which is usually the longest part of the process.
