A Mile High USS Denver A Mile Ahead LPD 9 (U.S. Navy) Refrigerator Magnet - Design Description

This refrigerator magnet design pays tribute to the USS Denver (LPD-9), an amphibious transport dock ship of the United States Navy. The design encapsulates the ship's identity through its name, hull designation, and iconic motto.

Visual Elements and Representation

The design prominently features the text "A Mile High USS Denver A Mile Ahead LPD 9 (U.S. Navy)". The bold lettering ensures immediate recognition of the ship's name and its connection to the U.S. Navy. The inclusion of "LPD 9" indicates its specific designation as an amphibious transport dock.

Meaning and Symbolism

The central element of the design, the motto "A Mile High — A Mile Ahead," is rich with meaning. This reflects the ship's association with Denver, Colorado, known as the "Mile-High City" due to its elevation. This motto embodies a sense of pride, symbolizing both a connection to the ship's namesake and a forward-looking spirit, which is symbolic of the ship's mission and the crew's dedication.

Die-cut refrigerator magnets made from flexible vinyl with a matte surface and a solid black magnetic backing. Available in five sizes, they stick strongly to metal while staying easy to move and reposition.

These magnets feel substantial but bend slightly when needed — a balance that helps them conform to smooth metal without cracking. The matte finish softens reflections under kitchen lighting so colors read clearly without glare. Because each piece is cut to the artwork’s outline, the result looks neat and thoughtfully finished.

The black backing delivers consistent contrast on shiny surfaces, and printing uses modern, low-impact inks that keep tones lively through everyday handling. They are built to be handled, moved, and displayed repeatedly without losing form or adhesion.

  • Material: flexible vinyl with a black magnetic backing for reliable holding power.
  • Finish: matte coating that reduces glare and preserves color depth.
  • Printing: full-color, eco-conscious inks for crisp details and vibrant hues.
  • Durability: designed for frequent use on smooth metal surfaces; resists peeling and warping.
  • Precision: die-cut edges follow the artwork; extremely fine islands or slivers may blend during cutting.

Perfect for refrigerator doors, magnetic whiteboards, steel lockers, or metal filing cabinets. They’re also handy for displays at events or temporary signage where you want a neat, movable solution.

  1. Prep: remove dust and grease with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth, then allow the surface to dry completely.
  2. Place: set the magnet flat, press from the center outward to make full contact and remove any trapped air.
  3. Reposition: lift gently and move if needed — avoid folding or pinching along the same tight crease repeatedly.

Heads-up: very intricate artwork can look slightly different after die-cutting; tiny, closely spaced pieces may join together in production.

To keep magnets looking their best, dust them off with a soft microfiber cloth. For smudges, use a barely damp cloth and blot dry immediately — don’t soak the magnet or use abrasive scrubs.

Avoid harsh chemicals and scouring pads, which can dull the matte surface or damage the backing. With simple, gentle care your magnets will stay crisp and retain their hold for a long time.

Sizes are listed by the magnet’s longest side. For example, a 3″ magnet is three inches across its largest edge. This gives a consistent reference when choosing the right fit for your space.

The die-cut follows your artwork for a close-fitting border; slight variation is normal with very detailed silhouettes, but each piece is finished to look tidy and professional.
