Important questions to ask before magnet production

For any successful signage project, communication with clients is critical, and magnets are no different. Though magnets are a low-maintenance signage option, there are still certain considerations to ensure your clients are receiving the best products available. From manufacturing to application, there are elements that can directly affect how the magnet performs in various environments, and they must be identified before you even begin production. (more…)

TabMAG Neo Disc

We’ve expanded our neodymium (Neo) magnetic to include these powerful, compact magnetic discs with adhesive backing and a new, easy pull-tab. The liner covering the adhesive on these strong TabMAG Neo magnets has a protruding tab for easy removal. Once removed, the adhesive is exposed and the magnet can be quickly applied to packaging, displays, fixtures and other closure or presentation applications.

To cut through the clutter on retail shelves, designers, manufacturers and retailers are competing to develop innovative packaging that enhance the consumer’s product experience. Magnetic closures provide unique solutions for creative ingenuity.

Winning designs of the 2008 Flexible Packaging Association’s Packaging Achievement Awards demonstrate a trend toward value-added features such as easy-to-open devices, and strong repeat closure technologies. Responding to this opportunity, Adams’ magnetic closures are available as two-piece magnetic assemblies that are suitable for a variety of surfaces. (more…)

EdgeMAG in use

In case you haven’t tried this already, EdgeMAG holds side-to-side as well as front-to-back, making it a great tool for aligning large graphic panels. It essentially erases any visible seams between graphic panels, which is wonderful for displays, signage, POP promotions and other applications where clean, clear presentation is vital. For face-to-face applications, MatchMAG matched pole strip offers an ideal solution, especially when steel is not part of the overall design. Both products are available in 0.060-inch x 0.50-inch x100-foot long rolls with or without adhesive. MatchMAG also offers 1.00-inch widths. Specify either product as “A/B” for easily mixing and matching the direction of alignment without contending with repelling forces. Like other flexible magnets, EdgeMAG and MatchMAG adheres and remains magnetic at temperatures as low as -40ºF and as high as 160ºF. It can be supplied in rolls uncut, scored or cut and stacked in the final desired size.

Warehouses and distribution centers expand and contract in funny ways. Once the pallet racking is put in place, if you want to change the number of aisles, beams, shelf sizes or pick locations, you have to change the sequencing. Whenever you need to add or take away something, it’s likely to throw off your entire labeling system.

To avoid this difficulty, why not implement a magnetic labeling system. The use of magnets provide maximum flexibility during expansions, consolidations, retrofits and relocations and allow warehouse and distribution centers to add or reduce stock without having to completely re-do their sequencing.
