Printable Magnetic Receptive w/ Adhesive, Does it Exist?

Magnet foil
With this Ferro iron foil with an adhesive layer you can make surfaces suitable (containing iron) and then attach magnets or magnetic foil to them. Ferro has a strong adhesive layer and you can easily stick it on anything. Stick this iron foil on wood, cupboard, panel, door or wall etc. and then easily stick magnets or magnetic foil to it. You can best compare this foil with iron paint, but in foil form.

 

Aslan makes a couple versions of this, look up FerroPrint.

 

new life magnetics makes one i believe

 

Not super familiar with these products but it's the first thing that came to mind: http://www.visualmagnetics.com/VM-Graphic-System

Might be worth checking out.

 

This is the first thing I think about. Why does it have to be magnetic? Why not use XBASE? http://www.gansdigital.com/2017/01/19/x-base-is-here/

 

XBase was made for outdoor use specifically. It is not printable, but you can laminate your print with the Clear then apply decals over it.

 

I don't remember what it was called, but we've done store graphic installations where we installed an adhesive magnetic backer to plasterboard walls, then a thin, printed magnetic graphic would install on it. Is that what you are looking for?

 

Should not be a problem, how big is the coroplast sheet? I would use a heavy duty double sided adhesive for heavier objects.

 

54"x164' is $275 a roll.

 

I used a ds adhesive when I put up those wooden picture frames.

 

I used to produce a ton of graphics like this for a major retailer and like you mentioned, we were having to apply full coverage adhesive to printable magnet. Not ideal to add that additional step, especially for high quantities. We did a deep dive looking for an alternative and ultimately didn’t find anything (though this was ~2 years ago so that may have changed), but we did talk to a couple of manufacturers who agreed to take on that portion of the process themselves (adding adhesive onto their existing printable magnet product) given we were hitting sizeable MOQs.

 

If you laminate clear XBase on top of your graphics, you can stack them on top of each other for storage.
