Self-Adhesive Magnetic Backing

The defining feature of this product is its self-adhesive backing, which allows a wide variety of lightweight materials to be converted into magnetic products.

The adhesive side is designed to bond to suitable materials, while the opposite magnetic face attaches to compatible ferromagnetic surfaces.

This makes it useful for creating:

• Magnetic photographs

• Printed signs

• Product labels

• Promotional graphics

• Educational materials

• Magnetic notices

• Custom display pieces

The adhesive is intended to secure the material to the magnetic sheet. It does not replace the magnetic attraction required to attach the finished product to steel.

1.0mm Thick Flexible Magnetic Sheet

At 1.0mm thick, this sheet provides a thicker magnetic backing than commonly available 0.4mm, 0.6mm and 0.8mm flexible magnetic sheets.

The additional thickness may be beneficial for applications requiring a more substantial magnetic sheet, although actual magnetic holding performance depends on the magnetic material, magnetisation, contact area and target surface.

The flexible construction allows the sheet to be cut into smaller pieces for custom applications.

Potential uses include:

• Larger magnetic signs

• Custom magnetic labels

• Removable displays

• Magnetic photographs

• Product identification

• DIY magnetic components

Important: Thickness alone does not determine magnetic holding force. Performance should be tested using the actual finished item and intended target surface.

The standard A4 dimensions of 297mm x 210mm make this magnetic sheet suitable for a wide variety of common printed materials.

It can be used as a complete A4 sheet or cut into smaller sections.

Potential formats include:

• A4 magnetic signs

• A5-sized pieces

• Rectangular labels

• Magnetic strips

• Square magnets

• Custom shapes

• Small identification tags

This flexibility allows one sheet to be adapted for multiple applications.

How to Use Self-Adhesive Magnetic Sheeting

For best results, prepare the material and magnetic sheet before applying the adhesive.

1. Prepare the material: Ensure the surface being bonded is clean, dry and free from dust, grease and contamination.

2. Measure and cut: Cut the magnetic sheet to the required dimensions if necessary.

3. Remove the adhesive backing: Carefully peel away the protective release liner to expose the adhesive.

4. Position the material: Align the photograph, printed graphic, label or other lightweight material with the adhesive surface.

5. Apply evenly: Press the material firmly onto the adhesive backing, working from one side to minimise trapped air.

6. Allow the bond to establish: Follow any applicable adhesive curing or bonding recommendations.

7. Attach to steel: Place the magnetic face against a clean, compatible ferromagnetic surface.

Once assembled, the finished magnetic item can generally be removed and repositioned without permanently altering the steel target surface.

The adhesive bond itself is not necessarily repositionable once applied to the material.

• Iron

• Magnetic steel

• Steel filing cabinets

• Steel shelving

• Steel racking

• Magnetic whiteboards

• Compatible refrigerator surfaces

The target surface must contain sufficient magnetically receptive material for the sheet to attach effectively.

Non-Compatible Surfaces

Flexible magnetic sheeting does not magnetically attach directly to inherently non-magnetic materials such as:

• Aluminium

• Copper

• Brass

• Plastic

• Timber

• Standard glass

Many stainless steel grades may also be weakly magnetic or non-magnetic.

Not all refrigerators or whiteboards contain suitable magnetic steel.

Where compatibility is uncertain, test the intended surface before use.

Please note, this product alongside all flexible magnetic products are not compatible with glassboards.

Magnetic Holding Performance

Flexible magnetic sheeting provides magnetic attraction across its working surface.

The holding performance of a finished magnetic item depends on factors including:

• Magnetic sheet thickness

• Magnetic material and magnetisation

• Finished piece dimensions

• Available magnetic contact area

• Weight of the attached material

• Target steel thickness

• Surface coatings

• Air gaps

• Surface flatness

• Installation orientation

A full A4 sheet generally provides more total magnetic contact area than a small piece cut from the same material.

However, the magnetic performance of the finished product should always be tested under actual operating conditions.

Air Gaps Reduce Magnetic Attraction

Magnetic attraction decreases as the distance between the magnetic sheet and target increases.

Potential sources of separation include:

• Paint

• Powder coating

• Protective films

• Dirt

• Surface irregularities

• Decorative coverings

• Non-magnetic layers

For best magnetic contact, position the magnetic face directly against a clean, flat and compatible steel surface.
