Custom Zinc Alloy Enamel Refrigerator Magnet — Chinese New Year Rabbit Design with Gold-Plated Border and Strong Magnetic Backing for Fridge, Whiteboard, Gift & Holiday Decoration
What Is This Chinese New Year Rabbit Enamel Refrigerator Magnet?
This beautifully crafted enamel refrigerator magnet captures the joy and prosperity of the Chinese New Year — specifically the Year of the Rabbit — in vivid, lifelike detail. The design features a festive scene with a young figure dressed in traditional red-and-white attire holding a bouquet of fresh flowers on the left, and the God of Wealth (Caishen) dressed in a red official robe holding a bowl of treasure on the right. In the foreground, a white rabbit, gold ingots, stacked lucky coins, and a treasure basin adorned with Chinese knot decorations form the centerpiece. The background showcases a blue sky filled with fireworks and green foliage accents. A flawless scallop-shaped gold-plated border frames the entire composition, giving it a sophisticated medallion-like appearance.
Crafted from high-quality zinc alloy with vibrant enamel infill and a gold-plated finish, this magnet is both decorative and functional. The back is fitted with a strong embedded magnet that holds securely on any ferromagnetic surface such as refrigerators, whiteboards, magnetic bulletin boards, and locker doors. Whether used as a home decoration, a thoughtful New Year gift, or a seasonal collectible, this magnet brings warmth, good fortune, and festive charm to any setting.

Is This Enamel Magnet Durable Enough for Daily Use?
Absolutely. This refrigerator magnet is constructed from high-quality zinc alloy, a material known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life. The enamel fill is applied in layers and fired at high temperatures, creating a hard, glass-like surface that resists scratches, fading, and chipping under normal household use. The gold-plated border undergoes an electroplating process that provides a bright, tarnish-resistant finish.
The embedded magnet is a nickel-plated ferrite magnet, bonded securely into a recess on the back of the zinc alloy body. It provides sufficient holding force for the magnet's weight and will not detach or lose magnetism under normal conditions. The combination of durable metal construction and robust enamel finish ensures this magnet remains a cherished decoration for many Lunar New Year seasons to come.

Durability Highlights
· Hard-fired enamel will not peel or scratch off — Unlike printed stickers or painted surfaces, the enamel vitrifies into a tough, permanent colored layer
· Gold plating is tarnish-resistant — The electroplated finish is sealed to maintain its brilliant shine for years without dulling
· Magnet is permanently embedded — The ferrite magnet is locked into the zinc base; it won't fall out or weaken over time
· Weather and moisture resistant — Safe for humid kitchen environments; condensation, steam, and splashes will not damage the magnet
· Impact resistant for daily handling — The zinc alloy body absorbs minor bumps and drops without breaking or cracking the enamel
· Colors stay vibrant indefinitely — Enamel pigments are fired into the material and are not subject to UV fading or yellowing

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for a custom enamel refrigerator magnet?
A: For a new custom design requiring a new mold, the MOQ is 100 pieces per design. If you choose one of our existing molds and only change the colors, the MOQ is 200 – 500 pieces. For stock designs with no modifications, orders as low as 50 pieces are accepted.
Q: How long does it take to receive a sample?
A: After artwork approval, mold creation takes 5 – 7 working days, followed by sample production in 2 – 3 days. Including express shipping (3 – 5 working days to most destinations), the total sample lead time is typically 10 – 15 working days.
Q: Can I order this magnet in a different size?
A: Yes. The standard magnet diameter is approximately 5.5 – 6.5 cm. We can produce smaller or larger versions within a range of 3 – 10 cm. Note that very small magnets (under 3 cm) may limit the level of detail, while very large magnets (over 8 cm) may need a stronger embedded magnet.
Q: Can the colors be changed to match my brand or event theme?
A: Absolutely. Every colored element — from the background sky to the rabbit, clothing, and accessories — can be customized to any Pantone color. We can also apply special finishes such as matte, glitter, glow-in-the-dark, or pearlescent enamel. Just provide your Pantone codes or physical color reference.
Q: Is this magnet safe for use on a refrigerator? Will it scratch the surface?
A: Yes, it is perfectly safe. The ferrite magnet is encased in the zinc alloy body and does not make direct contact with the refrigerator surface. The flat metal back of the magnet glides smoothly without scratching. For painted surfaces, we recommend placing it on bare metal or using the included felt pad option.
Q: Can I add my company logo or custom artwork to this magnet?
A: Yes. Logos, brand names, mascots, and custom graphics can be incorporated into the enamel mold design. Text height should be at least 2 mm, and line thickness should be no thinner than 0.2 mm for clear enamel separation. Vector artwork (AI/EPS/CDR) is preferred for best results.
Q: Is this product suitable as a corporate New Year gift?
A: Yes, it is an excellent corporate gift option. The magnet can be customized with your company logo and brand colors, and packaged in a premium gift box with a custom-printed card. We also offer multi-magnet sets for gift bag assembly and bulk corporate orders with discounted pricing.
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 $5,000 USD, PayPal for small orders and samples, and Western Union. Alibaba Trade Assurance is also available for verified buyers.
Q: Can I mix different zodiac or design motifs in one order?
A: Yes. You can order multiple different enamel magnet designs in the same production run. Each design requires its own mold (one-time cost), but they can share production scheduling, packaging, and shipping. This is especially cost-effective for zodiac series collections or event series.
Q: What quality assurance measures do you have in place?
A: Every batch undergoes a strict 3-step QC process: (1) Pre-production: mold inspection and enamel color sample approval, (2) In-production: random sampling at each enamel firing stage to check color consistency and fill quality, (3) Final: 100% visual inspection for plating defects, chipped enamel, and magnet strength. Our defect rate is maintained below 2%.
