FAQ

Fridge steel, the bag, enamel

Will a magnet hold on my fridge?
Painted refrigerator steel usually holds a thin magnet. Stainless is mixed: ferritic stainless is generally magnetic; austenitic stainless (a family that includes the common Type 304) usually is not. Scientific American's explainer on stainless magnetism is the clear public version of that split. GE Appliances recommends testing a door with a magnet if you are shopping for a fridge you want to use as a bulletin. If a thin plaque slides, try a side wall, a heavier enamel piece, or a painted door. Keep magnets off the gasket so the door still seals. More in the fridge guide.
How do I get a magnet home in a bag?
Wrap the face. Enamel chips on tile; tin print scuffs on a zipper. A T-shirt sleeve, a sock, or a notebook is enough. Keep the plaque out of the toiletry bag. Sunscreen and pool chlorine on a damp towel cloud a print. The Transportation Security Administration lists magnets as allowed in carry-on bags and in checked bags; the officer at the checkpoint has the final say. One magnet per trip is a memory system that still fits in a pocket. More in the travel guide.
What is an enamel plaque?
An enamel plaque is a metal blank with color sitting in cells outlined by metal. On a soft-enamel face the color sits slightly below the lines; on a hard-enamel face the color is filled and polished flush. A magnetic pad is attached to the back. The red fridge plaque is that kind of object: navy rim, hanging tab, color in the face. A thin tin print is a picture on a flexible sheet. Lighter, easier to bend, easier to scuff. More in the souvenir guide and the souvenir-vs-enamel comparison.
How do I inquire?
Select the families you want in the catalog, then use the form on this page or write sales@tabaconda.com. Say what the door is (painted or stainless, apartment, hotel, house), what the trip was, and whether you want a city view, a kitchen set, a seasonal piece, a park-day magnet, or a custom mark.

What is on this shop?
Souvenir magnets for an Orlando trip, fridge families for a kitchen door, and travel pieces that have to survive a bag. City views, kitchen sets, seasonal shapes, and park-day magnets are the fridge families. Custom work is a drawing, a short run, a show-table set, or one mark. Trade marks for a local shop door or cab exist as inquire families.
How do I get a magnet for the door?
Name a mix in the catalog, then write sales@tabaconda.com. For tin versus enamel, a photo frame, and clips that hold tickets, use the fridge-memory kit. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
