Information with a clear purpose
Organise the message around the service
A useful public-information magnet begins with a specific task: finding a service number, identifying the responsible organisation or remembering a short piece of local information. Put that task ahead of a long overview of the organisation or campaign.
If the design contains several contacts, label their purposes clearly. The reader should not have to guess which number is relevant. Keep the wording and branding consistent with the responsible organisation's approved information and leave enough space between distinct sections.
A format for the content
Compare readability before choosing an outline
The collection includes business-card, A6, DL and other sizes, with special shapes and a custom shape or size option. A concise service contact may suit a compact format; a more detailed information layout needs additional space and a clear reading order.
Envelope and 300gsm cardboard presentation options are also available. Consider whether all of the explanation belongs on the magnet or whether some context is better carried by accompanying print. The selected product specification should guide the final artwork dimensions.
Review and distribution
Confirm both the message and the intended area
Have the responsible organisation review names, telephone numbers, opening hours and any public instructions before artwork approval. If information varies by area or program, identify the separate versions and the quantities needed for each.
BPD can coordinate printing with Australia Post unaddressed mail. Describe the intended suburbs or postcodes and preferred timing early, so coverage and preparation requirements can be considered together. The final campaign needs an agreed brief rather than a general promise to reach every recipient.

02 9138 1897What can a council or community magnet communicate?
It can carry approved service contacts, a concise local reminder or other useful public information. Start with a specific reader task, then include only the details needed to complete it and identify the responsible organisation.
Who should approve the information?
The organisation responsible for the service should check the wording, contact details and branding before printing. Separate approval of the public information from approval of the print specification, so both the content and the format are confirmed.
How much text should the magnet contain?
Use the space needed to keep essential information readable. If several services or instructions are necessary, compare larger formats or accompanying print rather than shrinking the type. Give each contact or instruction a clear label and position.
Are envelopes and presentation cards available?
Yes. The collection lists envelope and 300gsm cardboard presentation options alongside standard and special-shape magnets. Explain how the item will be supplied to the reader so presentation can be discussed with the chosen magnet format.
Can distribution be planned for particular areas?
BPD manages Australia Post unaddressed mail campaigns around an agreed area. Provide the intended suburbs or postcodes, timing and proposed format early. Coverage, quantities and preparation requirements need to be confirmed as part of that campaign planning.
