What are the different types of flexible magnet? |

 |
There are three forms of flexible magnet: flexible magnetic sheet, flexible magnetic tape and flexible warehouse magnets. | |||
Flexible magnetic tape |
||||
 |
Flexible magnetic tape consists of a long, thin, flexible magnet which has been extruded into a flat rectangular shape during manufacture.
For more information on extrusion, see page How are flexible magnets manufactured? |
|||
 |
The flexible magnetic tape is then wound onto a core to be used as a roll of tape. It can be available either with or without an adhesive backing, allowing it to be attached to ferromagnetic and non-magnetic materials.

Flexible warehouse magnet |
||||
 |
A flexible warehouse magnet is flexible magnetic tape which has been made into a ‘C’ shape. The ‘C’ shape provides two lips for a piece of paper and a plastic cover to be slotted through, allowing the magnet to be used as a replaceable label. | |||
 |
Flexible warehouse magnets are used in warehouses where stock is constantly changing, so the labels need to be replaced easily.

Flexible magnetic sheet |
||||
 |
A flexible magnetic sheet is a piece of flexible magnet which has been flattened into a large wide sheet. The difference between a flexible magnetic sheet and flexible magnetic tape is their widths. Flexible magnetic sheet has a width over 76.2mm (3″), whilst flexible magnetic tape is anything under this.
