What is the Washington Magnet made from?

The Washington Magnet is a die-cut magnet, meaning it is precision-cut into the shape of Washington, D.C. The exact materials are optimized for refrigerator and metal surface adhesion, typical of quality die-cut magnets.

How strong is the magnet, and will it hold papers or photos?

The magnet is designed to adhere to ferromagnetic surfaces like refrigerators and steel whiteboards. Holding capacity depends on the weight of items and magnet thickness; test with lightweight items first for best results.

Can I collect all 50 states in this series?

Yes, the Washington Magnet is part of Wandermark's USA — Coast to Coast collection, which includes multiple state designs. You can build a complete collection by purchasing additional state magnets from the same series.

Is this magnet suitable as a travel souvenir?

Absolutely. The Washington Magnet is a compact, affordable, and durable way to commemorate a visit to Washington, D.C. It's easy to pack and serves as a permanent, visible reminder of your trip.

How does this compare to generic rectangular magnets?

Unlike plain rectangular magnets, the Washington die-cut design is distinctive and decorative, making it a collectible piece that celebrates geography and travel rather than serving a purely utilitarian function.

What surfaces will this magnet stick to?

The magnet will adhere to any ferromagnetic metal surface, including steel refrigerators, filing cabinets, whiteboards with metal backing, and car doors. It will not stick to aluminum, stainless steel, or non-magnetic surfaces.

Is the die-cut design durable and long-lasting?

Die-cut magnets are durable for indoor use on stable surfaces. Avoid extreme heat, moisture, or repeated bending to maintain the magnet's adhesive strength over time.
