2"x3" Magnet Sets - Paper
The 2"x3" Magnet Set is the complete four-part supply for making professional 2"x3" rectangle refrigerator magnets on a 2"x3" Paper Button Machine: metal shell, clear mylar cover, plastic back, and a self-adhesive peel-and-stick magnet. Every component is sized for American Button Machines' 2"x3" Paper die and made in the USA for a clean, consistent crimp.
The 2"x3" rectangle is the largest magnet format in ABM's lineup, with room for a full design, a name, and contact details without crowding. Because the Paper machine runs on regular printer paper, your material cost per magnet stays low. Sets come in packs of 100, 500, and 1,000. Don't own the machine yet? The 2"x3" Rectangle Magnet Making Kit - Paper bundles the machine, punch, and 100 of these sets.

Paper vs. Photo — Choose the Right Set
These sets are built for the 2"x3" Paper die. ABM makes two 2"x3" rectangle machines: the Paper machine, which presses designs printed on regular printer paper, and the Photo machine, which is set up for thicker photo stock. The two use different supplies. If you own the Photo machine, order 2"x3" Magnet Sets - Photo instead.
A 2"x3" magnet measures exactly 50.8 mm x 76.2 mm. Rectangle presses made overseas are not built to this American Standard die size, so these parts do not typically crimp correctly in foreign-made machines. Not sure which machine you have? Call us at (972) 985-5074 and we will help you identify it before you order.
Use Case Ideas for 2"x3" Magnets
The 2"x3" rectangle holds more information than any round magnet, which makes it the go-to size for magnets people keep on the refrigerator and actually use. Popular uses include:
- Business and service magnets. Logo, phone number, and website in one place — for contractors, restaurants, salons, and service companies.
- Real estate leave-behinds. Agent name, headshot, and contact details that stay in view long after a business card is filed away.
- Save-the-dates and event favors. Names, date, and venue on a keepsake guests take home.
- Schedules and reminders. Team game days, school calendars, church service times, and appointment reminders.
- School and library programs. Summer reading awards, spirit days, and classroom art projects families display at home.
- Fundraisers and nonprofits. Donor thank-yous and awareness designs that keep the cause in daily view.
- Craft fairs and Etsy shops. Original artwork, sayings, and themed collections sold as singles or multipacks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in each 2"x3" magnet set?
Each set contains the four components needed to make one finished magnet: a metal front shell, a clear mylar cover that protects your design, a plastic back, and a self-adhesive peel-and-stick magnet measuring 1-3/4" x 2-3/4" x 0.060" thick. Your button maker crimps the shell, design, mylar, and back together, then you peel the backing and press the magnet onto the plastic back.
Will these sets work in the 2"x3" Photo button maker?
No. These sets are made for the 2"x3" Paper machine, which presses designs printed on regular printer paper. The 2"x3" Photo machine is set up for thicker photo stock and uses its own supplies — order 2"x3" Magnet Sets - Photo for that machine. If you are not sure which machine you have, call us at (972) 985-5074.
What size should I print and cut my graphics?
Graphics for the 2"x3" Paper machine must be cut to 2.774" x 3.772" — the extra material wraps around the shell's edge during pressing. The 2"x3" Rectangle Paper Punch cuts this exact size one graphic at a time, and the Die Cutting Press with the 2"x3" Paper cutting die cuts a stack at once.
What is the metric size of a 2"x3" magnet, and will these sets fit a foreign-made machine?
A 2"x3" magnet measures exactly 50.8 mm x 76.2 mm. These parts are built to the American Standard 2"x3" Paper die, and rectangle presses made overseas are not built to that size, so the sets do not typically crimp correctly in foreign-made machines. Call us at (972) 985-5074 and we will help you identify your machine before you order.
