Product Information
Full details
The Q-Connect Magnetic Racking Strip is an ideal organization tool for warehouse managers, office administrators, and retail professionals who need a flexible way to label shelving or magnetic surfaces. Its primary benefit is the ability to quickly update stock information or product codes using standard dry-wipe markers, providing a dynamic alternative to static adhesive labels. However, users should note that the magnetic backing requires a ferrous metal surface for attachment, meaning it will not adhere to plastic, wood, or non-magnetic shelving units.

FAQs
Can I use permanent markers on these strips?
It is not recommended, as permanent marker will not erase from the PVC surface. Use only dry-wipe whiteboard markers.
Does this work on stainless steel?
It depends on the grade of stainless steel. Many grades are not magnetic; test the surface with a fridge magnet first.
What is the total length of the roll?
The roll measures 5 meters in total length.
Can I cut this strip into smaller pieces?
Yes, you can easily cut the strip to any length required using standard household scissors.
Will the magnet lose its strength over time?
If kept clean and stored properly, the magnetic backing provides long-term, consistent adhesion.
Is the strip flexible enough to go around corners?
It is flexible enough to handle slight curves, but it is primarily designed for flat shelf edges.
Troubleshooting
The strip slides or falls off the shelf
Ensure the surface is metal, clean, and free of dust or oils. Some shelves have a thick paint or powder coating that can weaken magnetic attraction.
Marker ink is difficult to erase
Use a specialized whiteboard cleaner or a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to remove dried residue, then wipe dry.
Edges are curling after cutting
Flatten the strip under a heavy book for a few minutes before applying it to the shelf.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reusable surface saves on long-term labeling costs
- Easy to reposition without leaving residue
- Durable construction suitable for warehouse environments
- Simple, tool-free application
Cons
- Only adheres to magnetic/ferrous surfaces
- Not suitable for outdoor use where extreme weather may degrade the PVC

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: measure the required length, cut with scissors, and apply to any clean, dry, ferrous metal surface. To ensure the best magnetic hold, verify the shelving unit contains steel or iron. For maintenance, simply wipe clean with a dry cloth or an eraser. If ink becomes stubborn over time, a standard whiteboard cleaning spray can be used; however, avoid harsh solvents that could damage the PVC coating. Store the unused portion of the roll in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the magnetic backing.
