Product Information
Full details
This MagFlex A4 Flexible Magnetic Sheet is designed for craft enthusiasts, DIYers, and anyone looking to add magnetic properties to various items. Its key benefit is its extreme versatility and ease of use, allowing for endless creative applications. A potential caveat is its lower magnetic strength compared to Neodymium magnets, which may not be suitable for heavy-duty applications. The sheet features a 3M self-adhesive backing, is made from non-toxic EN71 material, and can be easily cut to size.

FAQs
What is the size of one magnetic sheet?
Each sheet is A4 size, measuring 297mm x 210mm (approximately 11.7 x 8.3 inches) and is 0.85mm thick.
Is the material safe for children's crafts?
Yes, the sheets are made from non-toxic, environmentally friendly EN71 material, making them safe for use in crafting activities.
How strong is the magnetic pull?
The magnetic sheets have a pull force of 40g/cm², which is suitable for holding lightweight items like paper or photos.
Can I cut the sheets into custom shapes?
Absolutely. The flexible magnetic sheets are designed to be easily cut with scissors or a craft knife into any desired shape or size.
What is the magnetic field like?
The sheets feature a striped North-South magnetic field for consistent magnetic attraction.
Can I attach this to a curved surface?
Due to their flexibility, the sheets can conform to moderately curved surfaces. Ensure the adhesive has full contact for the best bond.
How should I store unused sheets?
Store unused sheets flat or loosely rolled to prevent cracking and maintain the adhesive's effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive is not sticking well.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. Press firmly for at least 30 seconds after application.
Magnet is not strong enough for the application.
This product has a moderate pull strength (40g/cm²). For heavier items, consider using stronger Neodymium magnets or multiple sheets.
Sheet cracked when rolled.
Ensure the sheet is rolled to a diameter no smaller than 1/2 inch (12.7mm). Avoid sharp folds.
Difficulty cutting the sheet cleanly.
Use a sharp craft knife or sturdy scissors. For best results, score the sheet first with the knife and then cut.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Clean the surface where you intend to apply the adhesive side.
- Cut the magnetic sheet to your desired size and shape.
- Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive side.
- Carefully apply the adhesive side to the cleaned surface, pressing firmly to ensure good contact.
- Attach your item (photo, paper, etc.) to the magnetic side.
Compatibility:
- The adhesive side bonds well to smooth, clean, non-porous surfaces such as glass, metal, finished wood, and plastic.
- The magnetic side is compatible with any ferromagnetic surface (e.g., refrigerators, metal cabinets, magnetic whiteboards).
Care:
- Keep the sheets clean by wiping with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Store the sheets flat or loosely rolled to maintain their flexibility and adhesive integrity.
