- The iconic Carlton Hotel (Carlton Cannes) in intricate architectural detail at the center
- A classic vintage film camera with reel and tripod on the left-center
- A clapperboard / film slate on the right, with text label

Is This Enamel Fridge Magnet Durable Enough for Everyday Use?
Yes. This Cannes Film Festival fridge magnet is made from high-quality zinc alloy with genuine cold enamel (or hard enamel) filling, a combination prized for its durability, scratch resistance, and vivid color retention. The zinc alloy base is die-cast into a precision mold, then polished and antiqued for the signature vintage silver look. Enamel colors are filled into recessed areas and heat-cured, creating a hard, glass-like surface that resists chipping and fading.
The antique silver finish undergoes an oxidation process that darkens the recessed areas while leaving raised elements bright and polished — delivering a rich, dimensional vintage aesthetic. A neodymium or ferrite button magnet is securely epoxy-bonded to the back, ensuring strong holding force on any steel surface.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity for a custom Cannes enamel fridge magnet?
A: For a brand-new custom design with a new mold, the MOQ is 100 – 300 pieces per design. If you choose from our existing mold library (standard Cannes motif), the MOQ can be as low as 50 pieces. Contact us for your specific quantity requirements.
Q: How long does a sample take to arrive?
A: Once artwork is approved, we create the steel mold in 7 – 10 working days, then produce a sample magnet in 3 – 4 days. Sample shipping by express (DHL / FedEx / UPS) takes 3 – 7 working days, so total sample lead time is approximately 13 – 21 working days from artwork approval to delivery.
Q: Can I get this magnet in different sizes?
A: Yes. The standard Cannes magnet measures approximately 5.5 – 6.5 cm in width by 4.0 – 5.0 cm in height. We can produce custom sizes from 3 cm up to 12 cm in larger dimensions, subject to mold modification fees. Smaller sizes may reduce fine detail legibility.
Q: Can the colors be changed to match my brand or event theme?
A: Absolutely. The enamel colors (red banner, blue sky background) can be customized to any Pantone color. The base metal finish can also be changed to antique bronze, antique copper, gold plating, nickel plating, or matte silver. We can add up to 8 enamel colors per magnet for multi-color designs.
Q: Is the magnet strong enough to hold on a refrigerator without sliding?
A: Yes. The back is fitted with a ferrite or NdFeB (neodymium) magnet that provides a holding force of 300 grams or more. This is sufficient to securely hold the magnet on any steel surface, including refrigerators, magnetic boards, whiteboards, lockers, and metal filing cabinets. The magnet will not slide or fall under normal conditions.
Q: Can I add my company logo, event name, or custom text to the design?
A: Yes. Text and logos can be integrated into the mold design. Text height should be at least 0.8 mm for raised text and 1.0 mm for recessed text to ensure clear legibility after enamel filling. Vector artwork (AI or EPS) is preferred for best results.
Q: Is this enamel fridge magnet suitable for outdoor use?
A: The magnet is designed primarily for indoor use. While the enamel surface is waterproof and UV-resistant, extended outdoor exposure (direct sunlight, rain, extreme temperature swings) may cause the protective lacquer to degrade over time. For outdoor applications, we recommend adding an extra UV-resistant clear coating.
Q: What payment methods do you accept?
A: We accept T/T bank transfer (30% deposit with order, 70% balance before shipment), L/C at sight for orders above $3,000, PayPal (for sample orders under $200), and Western Union. For first-time customers, a 30% deposit is required to begin production.
Q: Can I mix different magnet designs in one order?
A: Yes. You can order multiple different enamel magnet designs in the same production run. Each unique design requires its own mold (mold fee applies per design), but the production and shipping can be combined. Minimum quantity per design still applies.
Q: What quality assurance do you provide?
A: Every batch goes through a 3-step QC process: (1) In-process inspection during production to check enamel color consistency and fill quality; (2) Finished product inspection for surface defects, polish quality, and magnet strength; (3) Final packing inspection before shipment. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee — if any defect is found, we replace at no cost.
