Product Information
Full details
The MagFlex C-Profile Magnetic Label Holder Strip is designed for individuals and businesses needing a durable and flexible way to organize and display labels. Its key benefit is providing a secure, reusable, and easily updatable labeling system for various environments. A minor consideration is that the magnetic grip's effectiveness can depend on the ferrous surface's cleanliness and flatness.

FAQs
What size labels can I use with this holder?
The holder is designed to accommodate standard label paper or cardstock cut to size. The 'C' profile will grip the edges of your label insert. Check the product dimensions for the precise internal width available.
How do I cut the magnetic strip?
The strip can be cut to size using sharp scissors or a utility knife. For a clean edge that ensures better adhesion, use a cutting mat and a sharp blade.
Can these holders be used on painted metal surfaces?
Yes, they can be used on painted metal surfaces, provided the paint is not excessively thick or textured, and the underlying material is ferrous (magnetic).
Are these holders waterproof?
The magnetic material itself is generally resistant to water, but prolonged exposure or submersion is not recommended. The labels inserted may not be waterproof and could be damaged by moisture.
How long is the magnetic strip supplied?
This specific product variant is supplied as a 2-metre length strip.
Can I reuse the label holders?
Yes, the magnetic holders are designed for repeated use. You can easily swap labels in and out as needed without damaging the holder or the surface.
Troubleshooting
Label holder slides down the surface.
Ensure the ferrous surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. The surface should also be relatively flat and free from significant dents or rust.
Difficulty inserting or removing a label.
Ensure you are using a label of appropriate thickness for the C-profile. Gently flex the holder slightly or use a thin, flat tool to assist if needed. Avoid forcing labels that are too thick.
The magnetic grip seems weak.
Clean both the magnetic backing of the holder and the ferrous surface. Ensure there are no interfering metal objects or non-ferrous coatings (like paint or plastic wraps) on the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Cut the 2-meter strip to your desired length using sharp scissors or a utility knife.
- Ensure the ferrous surface (e.g., metal shelf, cabinet) is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust for optimal magnetic adhesion.
- Slide your label (paper, cardstock, or thin plastic insert) into the C-profile channel.
- Place the magnetic label holder onto the desired ferrous surface.
Compatibility:
- Surface: Compatible with all ferrous (magnetic) metal surfaces.
- Labels: Suitable for paper, cardstock, or thin plastic inserts up to the width of the C-profile channel. Check product specifications for maximum label thickness if needed.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodically check the magnetic surface for debris that could affect grip.
