Magnet "finishing"

[Cruise]

Hi all!

I just printed out magnets using designs from this board and they look great.

I used the Avery inkjet magnet paper which basically seems like a regular, matte finish paper adhered to the magnet. I'm worried the regular paper front won't hold up to much wear and tear.

I was wondering if anyone had ever done any kind of finishing on their magnets. The two possibilities I had thought of was either laminating the entire sheet before cutting the individual magnets out or either getting a can of the matte or glossy spray finish that I've seen used on furniture and paintings sometimes.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Any responses on this yet? I wanted to make "save the date" magnets for my wedding and would love to hear any suggestions.

The only reply I got over on the other board was someone saying they'd had their's up for 2 weeks without any finishing and they'd looked fine. They also said they hadn't used the magnet paper though... so... I dunno.
