Magnets were originally designed for the space industry by a pioneering inventor named Sam Hard castle for use as letters and numbers on large-scale tracking charts. As need increased, new techniques for molding them were developed and Hard castle begin molding magnets to sell in the souvenir industry. These magnets represented each of the 50 United States and highlighted special features and attractions of the corresponding state. They soon became collectors’ items.
Today, magnets are common household items that allow for unique decorating opportunities on generally unused space while also serving the practical function of holding fun or necessary items in an easy-to-see place. Instead of decorating your fridge with photos or images, you can now have your desired images created into magnets, which frees up space for shopping lists, reminders, take-out menus, or kids’ fun artwork. Personalizing your magnets also creates a cleaner look for your decorating space. In addition, companies can create customized promotional magnets to keep your brand top of mind.
