A memento that’s both sentimental and functional, magnets make great gifts for family and friends. Magnets can be a great addition to the holidays, and can be included as stocking stuffers (bonus: you can earn more with each order)! With Bay Photo, prints are adhered to a magnet backing.
Size options include:

- 3″ circular magnet
Button Pins

They are a trusted source of quality products, and best known for their top-quality materials, cutting edge technology, and quick turnaround time.
True B&W Paper Prints
For clients who want dramatic, statement-making photography prints, use Miller’s True B&W paper. It’s specially designed to make continuous-tone prints while avoiding color tints.
Gallery Wrap Canvases
ShootProof’s photographers love that Miller’s offers two types of gallery wrap canvases. There’s the Classic Canvas, which is a white poly-cotton blend matte canvas; and a Pearl Canvas, a heavy weave canvas with a dynamic pearlescent surface and water-resistant finish.

Fine Art Prints
Do your clients want a more elevated paper type than a traditional print? Why not offer a selection of Fine Art papers? White House Custom Colour produces fine art with Smooth Matte paper for a sleek finish, as well as Torchon paper for a distinctly coarse and textured surface.
Black River Imaging
Located in Springfield, Missouri and serving wedding, portrait, fine art, and sports volume photographers in the USA since 1971, Black River Imaging is known for their innovative products at an incredible price point, fast turnaround and convenient shipping.
Lustre Prints
Lustre is one of the most popular options for print paper. Mix the color and tones of glossy paper with the subtle texturing of a matte finish, and you get a lustre finish. All of our photo labs offer lustre as a standard option for prints, but we especially love Black River Imaging’s work on Kodak Endura Professional paper.
Metal Prints
Metal prints make unique decorations for offices and retail settings, and Black River Imaging makes some of the best in the industry. Your clients have the option to choose between a float block mount or standoff posts that allow the print to sit even further off the wall.
