Applications
Standard Energy Magnet Strip
Available in rolls or as individual units, our durable standard energy magnetic strips are suitable for indoor and outdoor applications and can be fabricated to various dimensions. We can also customize the adhesive, laminate, and magnetization upon request. Thickness typically drives the strength of flexible magnets, and thicker = stronger!
Common applications for our standard energy magnet strips include:
- Displays
- Window and door seals
- Package closures
- Fasteners
- Labeling
- Toys and games
- Arts and crafts
For projects requiring maximum strength and stability, we offer high-energy flexible magnet strips in a variety of standard and custom sizes and shapes. Available in energy levels ranging from 1.0 to 1.4, these high-strength magnets are extremely resistant to demagnetization, cracking, and chipping. They can be magnetized through the material’s thickness in a range of configurations, and adhesives or vinyl can be added upon request.
Applications for high-energy flexible magnet strips may include:
- Sensors
- Door latches
- Magnetic assemblies
- Arts and crafts
Adams magnetic sheet uses multi-pole magnetization pattern for maximum holding power of up to 144 pounds per square foot. Standard grade materials are significantly stronger on one side and can have adhesives and vinyl applied to the weak side. Double magnetization is available by custom order, which will give both sides similar pull strength. These sheets can be cut or die-cut to it virtually any size and shape. A range of standard and custom thicknesses, colors, and adhesives are also available.
Flexible magnetic sheets are ideal for:
- Marketing decals
- Signage
- Magnet wall systems
- Display boards
- Arts and crafts
Our printable wide-format magnetic sheets are available in widths ranging from 40-60 inches, making them perfect for wide-format print media applications. Laminate options include matte white waterproof PVC, white dry erase, and other substrates upon request. An all-purpose acrylic adhesive can also be added.
Our printable wide-format magnet sheets see frequent use in applications such as:
- Large-format and interchangeable graphics
- Billboards
- Magnet wall systems
- Control charts
- Printed premiums
GreenMAG™ print magnet sheets are fabricated by applying a durable printable coating directly to the sheet, making them 100% recyclable and eliminating the need for a laminated printing surface. This prevents delamination issues and facilitates easier, cleaner cutting due to the absence of an adhesive. Our recyclable print magnet sheets are available in standard and custom configurations and roll sizes.
Recyclable print magnet sheets have applications such as:
- Indoor and outdoor displays
- Menu boards
- Interchangeable graphics
- Vehicle signs
Our thin, lightweight ClingMAG™ magnet sheets incorporate a micro-suction silicon layer that reduces magnet particle migration while increasing the sheet’s holding force to over 220 pounds per square foot. Featuring matte white vinyl print surfaces, these magnet sheets are compatible with both UV-curable and screen print ink sets. ClingMAG™ magnet sheets are best suited for use with smooth steel surfaces such as steel doors, elevators, and vehicles.
Magnetic Labels
We offer a range of magnetic labels that can be conveniently attached and removed from various magnetically receptive surfaces. Options include pre-cut and C-channel cardholders, write-on/wipe-off labels, yellow labels, inkjet-printable magnets, and document pockets.
Applications for magnetic labels include:
- Warehouse and store labeling
- Price tag holders
- Nameplates
- Control charts
When used with A/B rolls, our flexible matched pole strips allow the direction of alignment to be mixed and matched without encountering repelling forces. We offer the following two options:
- EdgeMAG™, a thin, flexible strip that provides side-to-side and front-to-back holding power
- MatchMAG™, a matched pole strip designed for face-to-face applications
- Graphic panels
- Multi-piece photos and graphics
- Puzzles
- Package closures
Selecting the right adhesive is critical to product function and depends on the type of material you apply our magnets to and under what conditions they will be used. We have several options to work for indoor applications, outdoor applications, or when more tack is required. We can supply our magnets with almost any type of adhesive available, including foam and permanent or removable adhesive. To view and download our standard adhesive specifications, click here. Or for advice and our whitepaper on how to choose the best adhesive for your project, give us a call or click here.
Acrylic Adhesives
Adams magnetic sheet uses APAA (All Purpose Acrylic Adhesive) is good for most paper, cardboard, plastic, painted surfaces, and most clean, dry metal surfaces. Note: Acrylic adhesives normally require 12 to 24 hours to meet maximum bond strength. The hold-in-place tack is immediate, but full hold strength requires chemical cure time, like with most other adhesives. Benefits of Using Flexible Magnets
The easy manipulation of flexible magnets permits design innovations and automated manufacturing techniques not possible with rigid or brittle materials. Flexible magnet materials can be bent, twisted, coiled, slit, punched, and machined into almost any shape without losing magnetic energy.

The Solutions
We Offer
Magnetic Sheeting
Adams can cut through the magnet and adhesive leaving the adhesive liner intact. One advantage to scored materials is that it is still in roll form and therefore easier to handle and store. It is also easier to work with as handlers can simply remove pieces as they need them without having to meticulously remove the liner as they would have to if we supplied individually cut pieces
