Magnetic tape - for labelling, highlighting and marking

These strongly magnetised tapes (also known as magnetic strips, marking tapes or magnetic tapes) can be used to flexibly label steel shelves, metal cabinets and drawers, etc. They also help with planning and visualisation on a whiteboard and magnetic paint. You can easily cut the magnetic tapes to the desired size with regular scissors and label them afterwards. You can find detailed information under our FAQ about the characteristics of magnetic tape .

Tip: If you would like to attach non-magnetic objects to ferromagnetic surfaces, then magnetic adhesive tape is the right choice for you.
Magnetic tape is not a suitable surface for magnets. The perfect choice for that purpose are our metal strips and ferrous tapes / metal tapes.

Magnetic strip = magnetic tape?

There is no common consensus because the term 'magnetic strip' is used differently depending on the supplier. Some online shops use 'magnetic tape' and 'magnetic strip' interchangeably, as do we here at supermagnete. Other retailers understand magnetic strips to be magnetic labels. Regardless of which product the term 'magnetic strip' is used for, you will definitely find what you are looking for here in our shop.

Our magnetic strips come in many different colours and sizes. They can be written or printed on (digital printing or screen printing). And, we also carry self-adhesive magnetic stripsin our online shop.

Where are magnetic tapes used?

Magnetic tapes are versatile accessories for everyday use. In our shop, you will find these magnetic tapes in 1 m rolls of different colours and six different widths. The coloured side of the magnetic tape is made of PVC and the reverse side is magnetic. There are many possible uses for magnetic tape such as customisable labelling, identification or attachment solutions.

Using magnetic tapes for custom shelf labels

Because these magnetic tapes can be cut to size, they are great for the labelling of steel shelves in the office, warehouse or the pantry at home. Cut a piece of magnetic tape in the desired length from the roll and attach it to the ferromagnetic surface of the shelf. If the contents or storage location change, the magnetic tape can be quickly changed too. You can find fascinating ideas on how to label shelves with magnetic tapes in the customer project Shelf labelling.

Using coloured magnetic tape for identification

The bright colours of the magnetic tapes in our assortment provide a good signalling effect. They are, for example, perfect for identifying colour groups at storage locations. The colours of the magnetic tapes can be seen from a distance and provide visual cues regarding the storage location. And, of course, you can also write on the magnetic strips.

Sewing on magnetic tape

Nowadays, many backpacks, beach bags and handbags have a magnetic closure. It can be opened quickly and almost closes just as quickly on its own due to the adhesive force of the magnets. Do you want to sew one of these bags yourself or replace an existing bag closure? Coloured magnetic tape is a perfect choice for this purpose. You can find inspiration in the customer project Magnetic tape as bag closure.

Please keep in mind that our magnetic tapes have a low adhesive force. If you want to sew the magnets into the fabric so they are invisible, we recommend our sew-in neodymium magnets.

Magnetic tape as organisation aid on whiteboards

Regardless of whether you want to assign tasks, plan appointments or start a brainstorming session, a whiteboard will meet your needs. Assign a colour to your employees or work colleagues with the coloured magnetic tapes and attach it flexibly in the right spot on the board.

Attaching photos and notes quickly with magnetic tape

What used to be done with adhesive tape in the past, is now done with magnetic tape. You too have probably hung photos and postcards by sticking adhesive tape to their corners. And when it was time to take them down, adhesive residue often remained. Now, thin magnetic tape reliably takes over. Cut the thin magnetic tape to size and attach it to the corners of the picture or paper. In no time at all, you have created a minimalistic picture frame. Detailed information about this idea can be found in our customer project Picture frames made of magnetic tape.
