Flexible Magnetic Strip

Flexible magnets in strip form are used in a wide variety of applications and products.  Rochester Magnet has the experience to quickly and efficiently convert flexible magnet materials to your specifications.  Whether plain or with a specific adhesive to scored on a roll or cut pieces, we can deliver the solution for your project.

Getting Started
Whether you are looking for a common size and/or shape or require a completely custom configuration, the process starts the same way.  The steps below provide a way to specify your magnet or serve as a starting point for a quotation for a custom order.  You can order from our "Quick Ship" products in our On-line Store or Contact Us to help you design an approach that works for you.  It all starts with a few key attributes below:

Step 1 - Magnetic Strip Material Options

Flexible Magnetic Strip, Flexible Magnet, Adhesive Magnetic Strip

Select Magnet Thickness & Width 

These basic parameters define the magnet fundementals and direct us toward the raw material required.

Thickness
A range of thicknesses from 0.020(in) to 0.120(in) are available for Flexible Strip Magnets

Step 2 - Adhesive Laminate Options

Select An Adhesive or Laminate
Your application determines whether you need a pressure sensitive adhesive or other material laminated to the magnet. The options are identified below.

Plain Adhesive Laminate
No Coating PSA: Rubber Vinyl: Matte White
No Laminate PSA: Acrylic WOWO
  PSA: Foam UV Matte White
    Vinyl: Colors

Laminate Note:
Application of vinyl to the magnet material can be provided alone or in conjunction with Adhesive on the other side.

Eleven standard colors are available for Vinyl Lamination:
White, Black, Blue, Ivory, Yellow, Red, Green, Brown, Orange, Gold, Silver

Step 3 - Cut and Scoring Options

Select Length and Cut vs Score Options
Strips can be cut or scored to suit specific applications.  Cut strip is neatly boxed for individual piece use and storage.  
Scored material leaves the magnet intact on the adhesive and release liner.  One advantage to scored materials is that it is still in roll form and therefore easier to handle and store.  Simply remove pieces as needed without having to meticulously remove the liner.




Cut Through
The blade cuts clean through the magnet and the release/lamination to create individual pieces.

Clean Score


Through magnet and adhesive, yet not through the adhesive release liner.

 

 

Partial Score
Incomplete cut through magnet and are separated into individual pieces by bending them at the score line. 

 

Through Laminate
Allows separation of the release liner from the adhesive/magnet.
 
 

 

Custom
In addition, to the straight cut options identified above, we can custom die-cut in standard design or your specific shape.

Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
