Magnetic Receptive Materials

True Flexibility
Magnetic Receptive Materials allow for extremely creative designs. They can be twisted, bent, slit, and die-cut into any shape you want. Truly the only limitation is your imagination.

Cost Savings
Magnetic Receptive Materials have become an indispensable marketing tool for businesses big and small. They offer a huge cost savings to the outdated approach of printing onto vinyl and then over laminating it on flexible magnetic sheets.

No Lamination Issues
Laminating vinyl over vinyl was not the best looking or most efficient process. It costs more than using flexible magnets and the results were never as good. Common issues included peeling, improper bonding and the printed vinyl curling.

Durability
Printable flexible magnetic sheets don't fade, curl or peel. They can be used over and over again or left up for extended periods of time without showing wear. They are weather resistant, withstanding sun, rain, heat and cold as well as high wind speeds better than any alternative.

Easy Printing
Flexible magnetic sheets don't require special printers, making it easy and affordable to get high quality, premium graphics and HD images printed right on them.

Permanent Hold
Flexible magnets are permanent magnets. They won't lose their holding power unless they are exposed to a more powerful magnetic field.

We offer a wide selection of flexible magnets including sheets, rolls, tapes and labels or you can contact us for a custom magnet. We specialize in creating unique industrial and promotional magnetic products. To get started, reach out to a member of our team online or by calling (763) 540-9497. We'll want to know what your magnet will be used for, the needs you have and your design idea. From there, we'll create your custom magnet, send you a proof for approval. Once approved, we'll produce your final product.

• Before applying, test all inks and paints used on the magnet for adhesion and solvent compatibility.
• Affix to smooth, flat, or gently curved metallic surfaces.
• Make sure the entire magnet is flat against the metal surface. Do not place over protrusions (molding, decals, pin striping, etc.) or concave areas. There must be NO air pockets.
• The magnet itself should be at a room temperature of 60°F (16°C) or above when installed to achieve the best results.
• Do not apply a magnet that has been curled with the magnet side out. The magnet may not attach properly to the metallic surface resulting in lifted corners or air gaps which will weaken its holding strength. Follow the instructions for Storing a Flexible Magnet. If you place the magnet in the wrong position, completely remove the magnet from the surface and reaffix it. Lift at sides and not at corners to remove. Do not pull the magnet across the surface, or it may stretch due to the resistance caused by the high magnetic strength.
• Do NOT use on horizontal metal surfaces exposed to direct sunlight (such as automobile hoods), temperatures exceeding 160°F (71°C), or temperatures below -15°F (-26°C). Exposure to cold weather will make the magnet more brittle, so use caution when handling.
• Be aware that long-term use on surfaces frequently exposed to sunlight (such as vehicles) can result in uneven fading of the surface because the magnet-covered area is shielded from ultraviolet rays.
• Do NOT use on non-metallic body fillers, simulated wood grain siding, and repainted surfaces. NOTE: Doors and panels on some vehicles are not made of steel. This product will not work on aluminum and plastic surfaces.
• We recommend rounded corners for magnetic vehicle signage.
• Although most stainless steel is not receptive to magnets, a few grades are. If using magnets on stainless steel surfaces, remove them daily and clean the magnet and the surface as directed below.

Garage & Motor Repairs
Magnetic tools are used extensively for the main purpose of saving time and stress for jobs with vehicular problems, garage bays, and servicing in similar operations as given below:

• Magnetic tool racks for tool storehouse and carrying
• Retrieval tools for reacquiring lost screws, fixings, and tools from hard-to-access places
• Notice boards and displays
• Attachment of temporary signage like van outfit or number plates
• Sweeping to clear bottom spaces of ferrous items
• Reinforcements for inspection lights
• Lifts for the movement of heavy steel components

Retail and Display
Magnetic materials and flexible magnetic types are applied in a wide range of display operations to ease application and create minimal damage when removed.

• Removing banners from ceiling supports
• Mounting removable wall signage
• Mounting plates on twisted shells
• Shelf and position markings
• Storing shop fitter tools
• Temporary holding or hanging displays in showrooms or events
• Rubber carpeted magnets for protecting face finishes

Storehouse & Distribution Centers
Flexible magnets are occasionally the answer for affordable, quick options for the following:

• Notice board and planner displays
• Easy attach-and-remove raging bay and shelving labels
• Attaching temporary vehicle or fork truck signage
• Sweeping vehicle bays or auto parks clear of ferrous items
• General tool storage
• Retrieval of lost items from inaccessible places
