The Tecre Model 2525 makes 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 inch square buttons and magnets. It gives a square photo meaningfully more room than the 2 inch size, which is the difference between a thumbnail and a picture you can actually see from across a kitchen.
What a 2-1/2 inch square is for
- Square photo magnets with space for two faces
- Premium pet and family portraits
- Art and illustration magnets where detail matters
- Branded merchandise that needs to stand out from standard round buttons
