These components come in a variety of forms but commonly these magnets have similar dimensions as a penny WHICH only measure a few centimeters in diameter and only a few millimeters in thickness. Typically the thickness will match the thickness of the chipboard so that magnet fits flush within the chipboard.

During manufacturing the placement of these magnets is indicated in the v so that recesses can be cut in the chipboard to allow for the magnets to sit within the chipboard. The box is then wrapped, which covers those magnets. Because the magnets are the correct size they go relatively unnoticed within.
