Magnetic Sheet

For the best pull strength in the UK, check out our range of magnetic sheet, which is suitable for various applications and comes in a range of thicknesses, roll lengths and pull strengths.

Our Supalite® magnetic sheet is thinner and lighter than other magnetic sheet material and boasts particularly high power to weight ratios. This makes it perfect for applications such a vehicle signs and quick-change retail graphics.

Regardless of your application, our range of magnetic sheet material can ensure 100% satisfaction. Contact our dedicated team for expert advice on the most suitable magnetic sheet for your specific application.

Magnetic Tape

Our magnetic SupaMag® tape can provide high pull forces of more than 80g/cm length and comes with optional self adhesive backing. It can be tailored to meet your requirements, with three widths (12.5mm, 20mm and 25mm) and a variety of high-strength TESA adhesives available for the non-magnetic face. Tape can be cut to the required lengths and provided as cut, or supplied in a roll if the length of the individual pieces is 50mm or under.

We have recently innovated the development of magnetic tape colouring, which can be effective in improving the appeal of a product or display.

Neodymium Magnets

Neodymium, when combined with iron and boron, can become a very powerful magnet, particularly useful for holding, hanging or closures in retail display, exhibition and packaging applications. As well as having strong pull forces, our neodymium magnets are small and dynamic, and have nickel coating for an appealing and anti-corrosive finish. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes, including discs, bars, rings and countersunk.

While neodymium magnets are often used in retail displays, they are less suitable when friction is necessary. We can bond die cut self-adhesive rubber pads to our neo magnets to increase sheer resistance by 10 times.

Boutique Magnets

Our boutique magnets are specifically designed for retail applications, with high strength, resin coating and an appealing appearance. They won't scratch paintwork or slip and are perfect for applications like sign holding.

These magnets can be provided with either male or female fixings, and stud options include M6 x 10, 12, 16, 20, 30, 50mm and M4 x 10, 12, 16, 20, 25mm.

Mag Pads

MagPads are for use with receptive surfaces, such as securing roof signs to vehicles or securing signs to steelwork or internal metal structures. They have soft polyurethane coating on the surface that is going to touch metal surfaces, so that they do not scratch the surfaces. They can provide a large amount of resistance to sheer forces when fixed to smooth steelwork, due to their strong pull force and friction. MagPads are perfect for vehicle signs such as taxi plates or learner driver signs, as well as retail signage that needs to be secured to metalwork.

Neo Pads

Our NeoPads are perfect for retail applications and give you various ways of mounting them onto your displays. They can provide sheer forces of up to 30kg, and can be provided in the strength you require. Possible fixtures include multi-purpose fixing options such as the stud and thread hole, coat hooks and picture hooks. The latter eliminate the need for drilling hole when hanging pictures, as NeoPad picture hooks can provide strong holding forces on vertical surfaces where pictures may be desired. Our NeoPads are also resin-coated, so that they do not scratch steelwork.

Pot Magnets

When you need magnets with intense holding power, our Pot Magnets are the solution. Made from rare earth, these extra strong magnets are specifically produced for use on steel surfaces. Our Neo Pot Magnets offer a range of stud options and a variety of widths and pull strengths. Their zinc coating gives them a durable, high quality finish.

Please bear in mind that these magnets have a 60 degrees celsius maximum operating temperature.

Sign Grippers

Specifically for sign makers who need to mount graphics and apply vinyl wrap, we provide innovative sign grippers. These come with a strong magnetic base and handle, to allow sign work to be done easily and effectively. The magnetic base has a high-quality soft resin coating, to prevent scratches on the surface it is applied to. The sign gripper handle is easy to grip, providing quick and easy application.

We have recently added large and extra large sign grippers to our range. Made for heavy applications, with 66 and 88mm diameters, these are heavy-duty and dependable.

Magnetic Hooks

Our ferrite magnetic hooks are ideal for overhead display applications, and come in 9 different sizes, with the 3 newest sizes providing higher holding forces and greater safety for heavier items.

Neo hook magnets come in smaller diameters (16mm and 23mm) for smaller applications. They work particularly well on the narrow supports of suspended ceilings. The Super Powers hook has been an industry favourite for retail displays in the 20 years since we developed it. With its white plastic finish, it is a more price conscious magnet for lighter displays.

Our range of magnetic hooks are designed for applications such as hanging promotional graphics and retail ceiling displays.

Fridge Magnets

We can also offer bespoke fridge magnets to complement your promotional work. In shapes ranging from simple to complex, they are ideal for making your promotions more appealing. We can facilitate not only the manufacture but the design of custom magnets and can undertake projects from 500 to 5 million pieces, thanks to our huge UK stocks.

Our more popular magnet shapes include car, telephone, emblem, jigsaw, sports kit, circular and rectangular. Our wide range of stock, along with our fast turnaround and bounty of experience, makes us the number one choice for custom promotional magnets. We can also recycle our fridge magnets, making them environmentally friendly as well as cost-effective.

Office Magnets

Our TenPin magnets are suitable for office use on receptive boards or with our steel discs. They can be used to secure papers or mark targets, and they can also have string attached between them, to show links or patterns. These magnets can be provided with a chrome or colourful plastic finish, and are made from neodymium.

For use on motivational, memo and notice boards, our strong Marker magnets are perfect for securing documents in the office or home. They can be attached and removed with ease, so are suitable for notice boards in school classrooms, kitchens and meeting rooms etc. They are very visible due to their vibrant colours, and are available in red, yellow, green, blue, white and black.

Magnetic Coat Hooks

If you need to keep coats neat and tidy, nothing works better than our magnetic coat hooks. They can be applied to any filing cabinet or steel surface, and have a resin-coated base, to prevent scratches and slipping. These hooks come in a range of variations, with 3 sizes, black or white colour, and tapered or slotted hooks. The hooks themselves are solid brass with a stainless polish finish, which gives these coat hooks a modern appeal.

Steel Discs

If you don't have a magnetic surface available, several of our magnets can be used with our adhesive-backed steel discs, affording much more flexibility. These 25mm discs can be placed wherever you want, giving you full choice of where you hang your overhead display or put your notes. Small and discreet, they can be used at work or home, whether it be with our magnetic hooks as part of an overhead display, or with our ten-pin or marker magnets to hold your notes.

Steel Tape

The perfect compliment to our Supamag magnetic tape, our adhesive steel tape can be used to provide a magnetic surface when one is not available. It can be provided with a choice of three adhesives. The standard acrylic adhesive is best suited to paper or cardboard surfaces, the premium solvent acrylic adhesive is for PVC, flat metal or smooth surfaces, and the high strength foam adhesive is suitable for uneven surfaces. Applications for our steel tape are versatile, ranging from retail displays, exhibitions, business/office and labelling.

As with our magnetic tape, our steel tape can be provided in rolls or cut pieces, and both can work together to create graphic holding systems that can be easily changed.

Steel Paper

Another solution for when you need a magnetic surface is our steel paper, which comprises of a layer of flexible steel sheet in between two sheets of art paper. Graphics can be printed onto our steel paper using UV, digital, screen or litho processes and the graphic can then be paired with our SupaMag magnetic sheet, for an easy to remove graphic display.

Our steel paper is lightweight and can be cut to size easily, making it very effective for creating display or notice boards that need a magnetic surface. It has a maximum with of 800mm and can be provided in rolls or as cut pieces.

Ferro Sheets

When steel paper isn't quite durable enough – such as in outdoor applications – ferro sheet is the perfect alternative. As with steel paper, it is great for creating magnetic noticeboards and quick-change graphic displays, but this material is much more suited to outdoor use, so you can create outdoor graphic displays or noticeboards. It is also particularly effective when paired with stronger magnets.

Our ferro sheets are available in a variety of attractive types, including plain, white gloss, dry-wipe, adhesive-backed and coloured/digital vinyl.
