Magnetically affixable bulk mail card and associated manufacturing method

An apparatus comprising:

• a body having monolithically formed top and bottom surfaces and opposed top and bottom edge portions respectively;
• and an annular magnetic member directly affixed to one said top and bottom surfaces, said annular magnetic member being positioned adjacent to one said top and bottom edge portions;
• wherein said annular magnetic member is sufficiently sized and shaped for affixing said body against a support surface elevated from a ground surface, said annular magnetic member having a smooth and arcuate outer perimeter which effectively resists premature peeling and fraying during manufacturing process;
• wherein said annular magnetic member and said body further have equal thicknesses for occupying minimum interior space defined within a postal envelope, wherein said annular magnetic member has a unitary and solid shape with smooth top and bottom surfaces;
• wherein said annular magnetic member comprises a magnetic core, and a non-magnetic layer coated over said magnetic core for protecting said magnetic core form directly contacting undesirable foreign debris.
