Magnetic tape & magnetic sheets

Magnetic tapes and ferrous tapes offer versatile options for different applications. Self-adhesive magnetic tape is also commonly referred to as magnetic adhesive tape. Magnetic tape can be practical not only in offices or warehouses but also in private settings. Magnetic sheet can be used for a variety of applications, including labelling and organisational purposes, and is available in different lengths and widths. In addition, the tape can be used for numerous other applications. In our magnet shop, we offer a wide selection of different magnetic tapes, magnetic strips and magnetic sheets. Choose from different holding strengths, colours and sizes. If you have any questions, for example about a suitable surface, we will be happy to assist you.

Magnetic sheet – useful for many applications

Magnetic sheet supplied on a roll offers a variety of fastening options and is available in different sizes, lengths and widths. For suitable applications, magnetic sheet can provide a fastening solution without drilling or screws. Magnetic adhesive tape may be suitable for many applications where flexible magnetic fastening is required. Magnetic tapes can be used in a variety of ways and may also serve as labelling strips. They differ in terms of holding force, colour and dimensions. In addition, tapes supplied on a roll can be cut to the required size. Depending on the design, this can be done using scissors or a utility knife. This allows the magnetic tape or magnetic adhesive tape to be adapted to the respective application.

Depending on the design, magnetic strips can also be labelled and may therefore support labelling and organisational tasks. Certain magnetic tapes can also be printed using screen or digital printing. Depending on the application, this may be useful for labelling, information or advertising purposes. Self-adhesive magnetic tapes have a protective film covering the adhesive layer. This is removed before application, after which the magnetic adhesive tape is attached to a suitable surface. For a reliable adhesive bond, the relevant instructions regarding the surface and application should be observed.

How does magnetic tape work?

Self-adhesive magnetic tapes can be used, for example, to provide suitable non-magnetic materials or objects with a magnetic backing so that they can subsequently be attached to suitable ferromagnetic surfaces. Ferrous tapes serve a different purpose: when applied to a suitable surface, they provide a surface to which magnets can attach. The respective surface and the design of the product are therefore important for the intended application. Before selecting a product, you should also consider which objects are to be attached. For applications with higher holding-force requirements, an appropriately specified magnetic product should be selected. The holding force that can actually be achieved depends, among other things, on the product, the surface, the contact area and the load. Due to this functionality, magnetic tapes are suitable for numerous commercial and private applications. Magnetic sheets are also used, for example, in schools and other educational institutions.

Facts about magnetic tape – key information at a glance

Magnetic sheets are available in different variants and formats. These include isotropic and anisotropic magnetic sheets. With anisotropic magnetic sheet, a preferred direction of magnetisation is defined during the manufacturing process. This can provide higher magnetic performance in this direction. Isotropic magnetic sheet, on the other hand, can be magnetised in different directions but generally achieves a lower holding force than anisotropic versions. The most suitable version therefore depends on the respective application.

Depending on the design, isotropic magnetic sheet is often among the more affordable options. It can be suitable for applications where the sheet lies directly against a suitable ferromagnetic surface and provides the holding force required for the respective application. Isotropic magnetic sheet is frequently used for labelling and advertising purposes. In schools, it can also be used for suitable craft projects. Depending on the design, the sheets can be cut to the required format. Anisotropic magnetic sheet can achieve a higher holding force than isotropic versions. It can therefore be suitable for applications with greater magnetic holding-force requirements. The load and application specifications of the respective product should always be observed. For certain applications, other magnetic solutions such as neodymium magnets may also be suitable.

What applications is magnetic tape suitable for?

Magnetic tape offers numerous possible applications. The following are some examples of how magnetic sheet or magnetic tape can be used:

• Labelling cupboards, drawers or shelves
• Labelling boxes or storage containers
• Figures or shapes for pinboards or presentation boards
• Discreet fastening of photos, documents or papers
• Fastening suitable insect screens to windows
• Attaching suitable decorations to appropriate surfaces
• Connecting suitable non-magnetic objects using appropriate magnetic systems
• Colour-coding documents
• Craft projects in schools, universities or kindergartens
• Labelling and organisational tasks in basements, workshops or children's rooms

Magnetic tape can be used in numerous private and commercial settings. Depending on the design, magnetic adhesive tape may also be used as labelling tape. It can be used, for example, to label shelves, cupboards, boxes or other suitable surfaces. Certain magnetic sheets may also be suitable for vehicle labelling as well as advertising and identification purposes, depending on their design. In warehouses, magnetic tapes can support shelf labelling and help improve organisation. Magnetic sheets and magnetic tapes can also be used for labelling and organisational tasks in basements or workshops. Labelling strips can therefore be practical tools for organisation and identification. On suitable ferromagnetic surfaces, magnetic labels can be used for numerous labelling tasks.

Depending on their design and specified holding force, magnetic products can also be used for various fastening tasks. In offices, for example, suitable lightweight objects may be attached to appropriate magnetic surfaces provided that the specified load capacity of the respective product is observed. The same applies to suitable objects in workshops, kitchens and other areas. Depending on the design, magnetic sheets may also be used for decorative applications. They can be used, for example, to attach suitable pictures, lightweight decorative elements or other objects. Depending on the application, magnetic sheet can provide a discreet fastening solution. Magnetic tape offers numerous different areas of application.
