What is Magnetic vinyl?
Magnetic material, or Magnetic 850mic, is a flexible magnetic material used for temporary signage on vehicles and metal surfaces. Commonly available in vehicle and display grades, it allows printed graphics to be applied when needed and removed without damage, making it a practical solution for changeable branding, promotions and identification.
What are Magnetic Signs made of?
Magnetic vinyl is made from a layered construction combining a flexible ferrite magnetic base with a printable white gloss PVC face film. The magnetic layer provides holding strength, while the vinyl surface allows for high quality printing. A coated reverse helps protect surfaces such as vehicle paintwork and supports clean removal and repositioning.
