Branded fridge magnets — Cyprus
Custom fridge magnets for Paphos souvenir retail, Limassol Tech Park welcome kits. PVC, acrylic and wooden, runs from 100 units, 7–10 working days.
The fridge magnet is the highest-volume souvenir item in Cyprus
Every Paphos souvenir shop has them. Every Limassol airport gift shop has them. Every Cypriot souvenir retailer's best-seller is the fridge magnet — small, cheap, easy to take home in a suitcase, and a daily reminder of a holiday for the next 5–10 years. Paphos souvenir retail orders 10,000–50,000 fridge magnets per quarter; Larnaca and Paphos airport shops add another 5,000–15,000 units per quarter.
Beyond souvenirs, the fridge magnet is a corporate give-away staple — Limassol Tech Park and Nicosia office buyers order 500–5,000 units per quarter as part of new-hire welcome kits and event giveaways. The fridge magnet survives every other kit piece being left at the office; it's the only item that lives in the recipient's home for years.

Cyprus-specific context
Branded fridge magnets in Cyprus are a year-round purchase with summer-peak seasonality for souvenir retail. Paphos souvenir retail (the harbour shops, the old town, the airport) order 10,000–50,000 units per quarter, mostly soft PVC with custom Cyprus-inspired shapes (the Aphrodite rock, a Cypriot donkey, the Limassol Marina, the Troodos mountains, the Cyprus flag). Larnaca and Paphos airport shops add another 5,000–15,000 units per quarter. Limassol Tech Park and Nicosia office buyers order 500–5,000 units per quarter for welcome kits and event giveaways, mostly acrylic or wooden for the ESG-conscious office.
Frequently asked questions
What's the cheapest magnet for a 5,000-unit Paphos souvenir order?
Soft PVC in a standard shape (rectangle or circle), 3D moulded with the brand logo and a Cyprus-inspired background. Cost around 0.45–0.85 EUR per unit at 5,000 unit volume. Sufficient quality for tourist keepsake, low enough cost to allow retail mark-up.

Wooden laser-engraved at 70 × 50 mm, with a small brand mark and the corporate Pantone colour filled. Cost around 1.80–3 EUR per unit at 500 unit volume. Reads as sustainable, suitable for ESG reporting, and survives daily kitchen use for years.
Can the shape be custom?
Yes, custom die-cut shape from 500 units for soft PVC and acrylic, and from 200 units for wooden. The mould surcharge (200–500 EUR for PVC, 80–200 EUR for wooden) is amortised across the run.
What's the most premium magnet for a Limassol Tech Park client kit?
Ceramic tile magnet at 70 × 70 mm, photographic print of a Limassol Marina hero shot or branded motif, gift-boxed. Cost around 6–12 EUR per unit. Reads as luxury and survives as a fridge ornament.
