Magnetic & Ferrous Vinyl
Magnetic and ferrous vinyl sheets are one of the most versatile options when it comes to choosing a print material. When used together, the magnetic vinyl creates a magnetically receptive surface to which the ferrous sheet can easily be attached and removed. This is ideal for when the printed material is only needed at certain times or must be changed regularly, such as for promotional use. The Kinetix collection provides a range of options when it comes to printable magnetic and ferrous sheets. Browse today and get in touch for more information or to order your free samples.

Magnetic and Ferrous (Magnet-Receptive) Vinyl
Magnetic and ferrous vinyl are versatile, robust options well suited to busy environments where quick graphics changes are needed. Printable magnetic sheets, such as those from the Kinetix range, are made from a flexible vinyl that will adhere to any smooth magnetically receptive surface. Ferrous vinyl, on the other hand, is not magnetised itself but will attract to magnets with ease. As such, these 2 materials work in perfect combination with one another.
As mentioned, magnetic vinyl is made from flexible vinyl that has magnetised particles in the lining. It is very durable and can also be die cut or trimmed to shape, offering additional customisation. Our range of printable magnetic sheets comes finished with a surface specially designed to give the best possible results from solvent, UV and latex inks. Popular uses for magnetic sheets include signage, stickers and other display graphics as well as vehicle and promotional signage.
Ferrous vinyl, often referred to as a magnetically receptive surface, is not magnetic itself but magnets will stick to it easily or vice versa. They offer excellent colour reproduction and are generally more durable than other types of vinyl.
Using sheets of ferrous vinyl, you can apply to any magnetically receptive surface, transforming it into an adaptable display for promotional messaging or decoration. Magnet can easily be applied and removed whenever needed, leaving no adhesive residue, making the combination of ferrous vinyl and printable magnetic sheets one of the most versatile print options out there.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is magnetic and ferrous vinyl?
Magnetic vinyl uses a magnetic backing to be attached to a surface without adhesive. Ferrous vinyl usually features a ferrous coating on the back of the print surface, providing a surface for magnets to stick to or vice versa.
What are magnetic and ferrous materials made from?
They are usually made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) with magnetic or metallic particles embedded into a liner. The particles give them magnetic or ferrous properties that allow them to stick to most metals. PVC-Free versions are also available now including PP or PET ferrous materials.
What types of magnetic and ferrous vinyl are available?
It comes in a variety of roll widths, lengths and thicknesses depending on the strength of the magnet required. 0.3mm, 0.6mm, and 0.85mm are the standard thicknesses for most magnetic materials. While 190mic or 260mic is the best thickness for ferrous materials.
What are the applications of magnetic and ferrous sheets?
Printable magnetic sheets are often used for sign-making, wall graphics, and temporary car graphics. They are ideal for any application that requires movable or temporary installation. Ferrous vinyl is ideal for whiteboards and instant surfaces that attract magnets.
How to install magnetic and ferrous vinyl
Clean the substrate. Line it up and apply it to the surface, using moderate pressure to get it flat. Due to the thickness of the material a squeegee is not likely to be required, but can be used if necessary. For thicker magnets, ensure the magnet is properly aligned before offering it up to the receptive surface as it will be difficult to slide around once applied.
