STD photo magnets....Help!!

Since I'm scrapping my old STD's I wanted to know if anyone has designed their own STD magnets (using photos)? Which company should I get them from (the best for photo quality, easiest upload etc, etc.) ....magnetqueen, magnetstreet, vistaprint?? Even though I do graphic design for a living (don't deal alot with actual photos) I'm a little unclear about the whole process....

info would be fantastic!! and pics if you got'em!!

Most of the companies will let you upload your own design. Honestly, I'm not so happy with the quality of the picture of my magnetstreet magnet so you might want to try a different website.

129837129387 of my friends have been getting married in the past few years.. and i have no joke over 14 STD's on my fridge..

and personally I think magnetqueen has the BEST quality.. but you can go to the diff websites and ask for samples so you can see yourself

i also did mine myself.. pics in album. it was easier, less expensive and i had the ability to see exactly what it would look like and how thick the magnet was before 150 of them showed up on my doorstep..
if u do graphic design u should have no problem working with magnetstreet though.. i found them to be a little user-unfriendly.. if u dont know what bleed lines are, or don't use their specific program to make it in the right size with the appropriate amount of pixels they just keep denying it.. which after bout a week got too frustrating for me..

I second this. I used them and I love how they came out and they were great to work with.

I used magnetqueen (we didn't do a photo magnet though) but FH and I were really happy with them (it's in my album). Also it only cost us about $100 for 100 STD's with envelopes .. probably be a bit more with the photo- not sure how much but it's good quailty and we got many, many compliments on them.
