MagSafe & Qi: Design an Announcement Card for Wireless Charging Accessories

Stop confusing buyers — ship a clear, conversion-focused announcement card for MagSafe & Qi2 accessories

Consumers are frustrated when a sleek wireless charger arrives in a box with vague claims like “wireless compatible.” They want one glance to answer: Will this work with my phone? How fast will it charge? What else should I buy to complete the setup? In 2026, with Qi2 adoption accelerating and MagSafe branding commonplace, the announcement card inside your packaging is one of the highest-impact touchpoints you control.

The evolution of wireless charging messaging in 2026 (why this matters now)

Late 2025 and early 2026 saw three trends that change how brands must communicate:

• Qi2 becomes the default baseline. More phones and earbuds now ship with Qi2-certified receivers, enabling magnetic alignment plus secure authentication for higher-watt charging.
• MagSafe-style magnets are ubiquitous. Apple’s Made for MagSafe program and equivalent vendor ecosystems pushed magnetic alignment from a premium nicety to an expected convenience.
• Consumers expect fast facts up front. Shoppers arrive with a short attention span and want specs and cross-sell suggestions immediately — especially when buying online.

That means your product announcement card must do three things in less than 7 seconds: confirm compatibility, show key specs, and suggest immediate add-ons (bundles) that raise AOV.

Who this guide is for

Designers, product managers, marketers, and e-commerce store owners launching MagSafe- and Qi2-capable accessories who need practical card templates, exact wording, and bundle ideas that convert.

Card types & placement — choose the right card for the right moment

There are three high-ROI announcement card formats to use across the funnel:

1. In-box insert (physical): A 2.75" x 4.25" or 3.5" x 5" full-color card inside the product box. Purpose: immediate post-unboxing clarity and cross-sell.
2. Product page product card (digital): A visual “product card” block on your catalog and category pages that mirrors the in-box message — keeps copy consistent across channels.
3. Email / social announcement card (digital): Square or 4:5 image used in email and socials announcing compatibility and bundle offers. Purpose: pre-purchase reassurance and traffic back to product pages.

Design fundamentals — quick checklist for in-box and digital cards

• Size & format: For print, use 85 x 55 mm (business-card) or 90 x 55 mm with 3 mm bleed. Keep digital art at 1200 px width (300 DPI) for sharp rendering on product pages.
• Hierarchy: Headline (compatibility), subhead (speed/spec highlight), 3-5 feature bullets (wattage, certification, what’s included), visual badge(s), and CTA or QR code.
• Icons & badges: Use simple, recognizable icons for Qi2, MagSafe, wattage (e.g., “25W”), and “Certified” badges. Reserve a prominent spot for official logos if your product is certified by Apple’s Made for MagSafe or WPC’s Qi2 program.
• Type & color: Sans-serif for headings (e.g., Inter, SF Pro), 14–18 pt for body. Use high-contrast text for legibility. If printing, convert to CMYK and use Pantone if needed.
• Material & finish: 350–450 GSM card stock with matte finish improves perceived value; spot gloss for the MagSafe coil graphic adds tactile delight.

What to say — copy templates that convert

Below are four copy approaches. Each is optimized for different audiences and channels. Use one headline + one subhead + a spec line + 3 bullet features + a cross-sell CTA.

1) Short & clear (retail pack insert)

Headline: MagSafe + Qi2 Compatible — Aligns. Charges. Fast.

Subhead: Up to 25W with supported phones • Works with iPhone (12+) & Qi2 devices

• Includes: 1x Mag-Align Charger • USB-C to C cable (1 m)
• Certifications: Qi2.2 / MagSafe-certified
• Tip: For fastest charging, pair with 30W PD adapter (sold separately)

CTA: Save 10% on a bundle — scan QR

2) Technical (product page spec card)

Headline: Qi2 / MagSafe • 25W Peak • Authenticated Alignment

• Input: USB-C PD 5V–20V, up to 30W recommended adapter
• Output: Up to 25W (iPhone 16/17/Air with certified adapter); 15W typical for older devices
• Standards: Qi2.2, WPC-compliant, EMI-shielded coil
• Compatibility: iPhone 12+ (MagSafe), Qi2-enabled Android / earbuds
• Safety: Over-temp, foreign object detection, and certified charge negotiation

CTAs: Download full spec sheet • See compatibility matrix

3) Lifestyle (email / unboxing)

Headline: Drop it. Snap it. Power up.

Subhead: Magnetic alignment for fuss-free bedside charging. Works with iPhone & Qi2 devices.

• What you’ll love: Magnetic snap • Cable tidy • Fast top-ups
• Bundle suggestion: Add a 30W wall adapter + protective thin case

CTA: Shop bundle & save 15%

4) Retail & support microcopy (small text that builds trust)

Compatibility note: Works with iPhone 12 and later. For older iPhones, charging is limited to standard Qi speeds. Apple Watch uses a different charger.

Warranty: 12-month limited warranty. Visit support.example.com to register.

Spec highlights — what to call out and why

When space is tight, call out the specs that influence purchase decisions:

• Standard & Certification: Qi2, Qi2.2, MagSafe-certified. Certifications reduce returns and tech support questions.
• Peak Wattage: “Up to 25W” — but add the conditional: “with PD 30W+ adapter and supported device.” Honesty avoids disputes.
• Compatibility Range: List representative models (e.g., iPhone 14/15/16/17, AirPods Pro (wireless case) and Qi2-enabled phones).
• Included Items: Cable length/type, adapter included or not, extra pads.
• Safety: FOD, temperature & voltage protections, and short-circuit protection.

Cross-sell & bundle strategies that increase AOV (proven 2026 tactics)

Bundling is the fastest way to increase order value. Use the card to surface one clear bundle. In 2026 we see higher conversion when the bundle pairs your charger with a single, complementary SKU and a time-limited offer.

1. Starter Bundle (most shoppers): Charger + 30W PD wall adapter — tagline: “Everything you need for speed.” Reason: Many consumers already have cables but not a high-watt brick.
2. Lifestyle Bundle (premium): Charger + Slim MagSafe-compatible case + cable organizer. Tagline: “Snap it. Protect it. Tame the cable.”
3. Family Pack (value): 3-in-1 Qi2 charger pad + 2x cables + discount. Tagline: “One pad to feed phones, AirPods, and earbuds.”
4. Retail add-on (in-box upsell): Insert an exclusive coupon code for 10–15% off a case or adapter if they buy within 7 days.

Psychology tip: Keep bundles simple. Present one primary bundle and one alternative. Complexity reduces conversions.

Layout templates — pixel-perfect modules

Use modular layouts so the same card can be re-used across channels. Here are two practical modules with recommended content and sizes.

Module A — In-Box Card (85 x 55 mm)

• Top 25%: Bold headline + small MagSafe & Qi2 badges
• Middle 40%: 2-line spec strip (Peak Wattage • Compatibility) + 3 quick bullets
• Bottom 35%: QR code (link to compatibility page) + 1-line limited-time bundle CTA

File requirements: PDF/X-1a, CMYK, 300 DPI, 3 mm bleed. QR at minimum 20 x 20 mm at 300 DPI for reliable scanning.

Module B — Product Page Card (1200 x 800 px)

• Left 50%: Product photo and Mag-Align graphic
• Right 50%: Headline, 4 bullet specs, and “Add bundle” button
• Microcopy below: Compatibility summary and warranty blurb

Authentication, badges & legal copy (must-haves)

Consumers are savvier. Misleading claims about “MagSafe” can trigger returns and delistings. Include succinct legal microcopy:

• Official badge use: If you’re part of Apple’s Made for MagSafe program, display the logo per brand guidelines. If not, use “MagSafe-compatible” and avoid implying endorsement.
• Qi2 claims: Use exact certification names: “Qi2.2” or “WPC Qi2-certified” only if you passed testing.
• Charging performance: Use conditional language — e.g., “Up to 25W with compatible device and 30W PD adapter.”

Data & testing — what you should measure after launch

Track these KPIs for continuous optimization:

• Bundle attach rate: % of orders that include recommended bundle.
• QR / NFC click-thru: Scan rate from in-box cards to product page.
• Return rate by reason: “Not compatible” returns should be near zero if your card is clear.
• Support contact rate: Number of compatibility queries post-purchase.

Benchmark: high-converting product pages in 2026 report 8–14% bundle attach after a clear in-box insert and a one-click bundle CTA on the product page.

Examples & mini case studies

Case study — Apple MagSafe (example inspiration)

Apple’s MagSafe messaging emphasizes alignment and simplicity. On product pages and packaging, they combine a clear compatibility statement with minimal technical clutter. Adopt brevity and let the spec sheet live on the website.

Case study — UGREEN-style 3-in-1 MagFlow

UGREEN’s 3-in-1 pads show strong digital conversion when product cards highlight foldability, 25W Qi2 capability, and a prominent bundle CTA for adapters. Their approach reinforces: show how the product fits into everyday life (desktop, bedside, travel).

Practical production checklist (before you print or push live)

1. Confirm certifications and exact badge usage permissions.
2. Lock copy and have legal review conditional claims.
3. Generate QR with UTM parameters for tracking (e.g., utm_source=insert-card&utm_medium=qr&utm_campaign=launch).
4. Test QR & NFC on a range of devices (iOS & Android) and lighting conditions.
5. Proof print a small run to validate color, legibility, and truncation of small text.

Sample copy block — ready to drop into your card design

MagSafe + Qi2 Compatible
Up to 25W peak with supported phones. Includes USB-C cable. For fastest results, pair with a 30W PD adapter (sold separately). Works with iPhone 12 and later, and Qi2-enabled phones and earbuds. Scan the QR to add a 30W adapter + slim case at 10% off — code valid 7 days.

Advanced tips — 2026 forward-looking strategies

• Embedded NFC triggers: Add a passive NFC tag to premium inserts. Tapping opens the product landing page, triggers registration flow, or applies the bundle discount automatically.
• Variable-data print: Use VDP to print region-specific bundles or retailer-specific promos directly on inserts to support omnichannel tie-outs.
• Dynamic QR landing pages: Redirect QR traffic based on device detection so iOS users see MagSafe copy while Android users see Qi2 copy with Android device suggestions.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Claiming “MagSafe-certified” without permission — use “MagSafe-compatible” unless authorized.
• Overloading the card with full specs — prioritize three critical facts and link to the full spec sheet.
• Forgetting to test QR readability on glossy stock or at different sizes.
• Offering too many bundles — limit to one primary and one alternative.

Final checklist & launch plan (quick action steps)

1. Choose card type: in-box + product page tile + email image.
2. Pick headline variant based on audience (Short, Technical, Lifestyle).
3. Lock visuals: badges, product shot, QR/NFC asset.
4. Run legal & certification review.
5. Print 100 proof cards; test QR/NFC on 10 device models.
6. Upload digital card assets to product pages and email templates with UTM-tagged QR code destination.

Wrap-up: one-sentence rule to remember

Your announcement card should answer compatibility, clarify speed, and prompt one immediate add-on — in that order.
