Types of Magnetic Telephone Cards

There are two major types of telephone cards: general cards and designed cards. Their order and delivery processes are quite different depending on the type.

Designed Cards

Custom-Made Cards

You can order your original cards in colors. (A minimum order is 30 cards with orders in increments of 10 cards thereafter.)
As a wide variety of flexible designs in four-color printing is available, the cards are ideal for corporate ads, new product ads, commemorative gifts for foundation anniversaries or openings, party gifts, and announcing company name change or building relocation.
The cards can also be ordered as business cards or trading cards of performing artists.

Semi-Custom-Made Cards

You will choose your favorite designs from prepared selection, add your words and photos (black-and-white or sepia) and illustrations.
A minimum order is 30 cards (with orders in increments of 10 cards thereafter.) As it is easy to order, the cards are very popular for a variety of purposes such as souvenir gifts for wedding, commemorative gifts for store openings or your hole-in-one in golf competition, gifts to mark your recovery from illness, summer greetings, New Year's greetings, retirement messages or corporate novelties.

Personal Auto Dial Cards

The card dials a specified number when inserted. (Minimum order is 1 card.)
