The Tecre Model 2030 makes 2 x 3 inch rectangle buttons and magnets, the classic photo magnet size. A photograph is a rectangle, and this press holds an ordinary phone or camera photo at a natural crop, without cutting off heads the way a circle does.
Why 2 x 3 inches for photo magnets
- Natural photo proportions: vertical portraits and small groups fit without awkward cropping
- The size customers picture when they ask for a photo magnet
- Higher price per piece than round buttons, because it reads as a keepsake
- Fewer competitors: far fewer small sellers own a rectangle press than a round one
It also suits save the dates, business card magnets, real estate magnets and event souvenirs.
