Rochester Magnet converts flexible magnetic strip to your specifications, from narrow shelf-label strips to adhesive-backed rolls for signage and assembly. All material is American-made and available as cut pieces or on rolls, plain or adhesive-backed, in standard and high-energy grades.
Uncoated flexible magnetic strip for direct application to ferrous surfaces and magnet-to-magnet uses. Available in widths of 3″ or less, as individual cut pieces or on continuous rolls. Standard and high-energy formulations.
Flexible magnetic strip with pressure-sensitive adhesive backing for bonding to non-ferrous surfaces like wood, plastic, glass, and paper. Choose from rubber- or acrylic-based adhesives, matched to your surface and environment.
Continuous magnetic strip on rolls for high-volume and automated applications. Available scored for easy tear-off separation or plain for cutting to length in your process. Custom roll lengths are produced to your run size.
Vinyl-laminated strip for printing or writing, and matched-pole strip for face-to-face magnetic bonding. Both available in custom widths and adhesive options.

Flexible magnetic strip is a narrow-width flexible magnet material, generally 3″ wide or less, made from ferrite powder bonded in a rubber polymer. The rubber binder lets the strip bend, twist, roll, and cut without cracking or losing magnetic strength, which makes it ideal for applications where a rigid magnet wouldn’t fit or survive. One face of the strip is magnetized, typically in an alternating multipole pattern, while the other face can be left plain, laminated with vinyl, or coated with pressure-sensitive adhesive for peel-and-stick installation.
Because it ships on rolls and cuts easily, flexible magnetic strip works well for both manual and automated production. Manufacturers integrate magnetic tape strips into assembly lines, while smaller operations cut pieces by hand for signage, labeling, and craft applications.
Flexible magnetic strip combines several characteristics that make it adaptable across uses:
Adhesive magnetic strip extends the material’s usefulness to surfaces magnets can’t normally hold, such as wood, plastic, acrylic, glass, and paperboard. Pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds the strip to the non-ferrous surface, turning it into a magnetic mounting point.
Common adhesive magnetic strip uses include mounting signage to walls and fixtures that aren’t steel, creating magnetic closures on packaging, attaching displays and point-of-purchase materials to plastic housings, building magnetic-receptive zones on otherwise non-magnetic products, and craft and hobby applications, such as magnetic photo frames and organizational boards.
Adhesive selection is important to get right:
If your application requires clean removal or a permanent bond, let our team know so we can match the adhesive to the surface and use case.
Flexible magnetic strips are used across industries wherever a thin, repositionable magnetic hold is useful. Here are just a few of the ways we see businesses put it to work.
Retailers use flexible magnetic strips for shelf-edge labeling, channel-mount label holders, and quick signage attachment on metal fixtures. The strip lets merchandising teams update pricing and promotions without adhesive residue or fastener holes, and it sits flush against shelving for a clean appearance.
Warehouse teams label racking, bins, and shelving with industrial magnetic strips that reposition as inventory layouts change. Magnetic label holders eliminate the residue and lost grip of adhesive labels, and they stand up to repeated relabeling.
Sign makers and display producers attach graphics to metal panels, build channel letter guides, and create repositionable signage with flexible magnetic strips. Adhesive-backed strip mounts signage to non-ferrous display surfaces.
On production lines, manufacturers integrate magnetic tape strips into products as closures, gaskets, sensor components, and holding elements. Scored rolls support automated dispensing, while custom magnetic strips match exact production specifications.
Offices, schools, and workshops use flexible magnetic strips for tool organization, document holding, whiteboards, and labeling systems. The strip turns any steel surface into an organized, reconfigurable workspace.
Hobbyists and makers use adhesive magnetic strips for magnetic photo displays, handmade signs, refrigerator magnets, and countless DIY projects that require a thin, easy-to-cut magnet.
Rochester Magnet’s in-house converting capability means flexible magnetic strip can be customized to your requirements rather than pulled from a fixed catalog.
Customization options include:
Whether you need a short prototype run or trailer-load production volumes, our converting equipment handles both.
From climate-controlled stockrooms to sun-exposed storefronts, flexible magnetic strip holds up across a wide range of conditions. The environment where you’ll use it determines the grade and adhesive that best fit the job.
Indoor applications (retail labeling, office organization, signage on interior fixtures) use standard strip and adhesives without special considerations. The material’s corrosion resistance and stable magnetism keep it reliable over years of indoor use.
Outdoor applications (exterior signage, vehicle-adjacent mounting, equipment labeling) call for attention to temperature and UV exposure. Standard flexible magnetic strip operates continuously up to 160°F. For strip exposed to sunlight, vinyl-faced material with UV-resistant lamination protects against fading and surface degradation. Acrylic adhesives outperform rubber adhesives in outdoor and high-moisture conditions.
If your application spans both environments or involves temperature extremes, share the details with our team so we can specify the right material and adhesive.
