Flexible Magnetic Strips and Sheets Bend it. Twist it. Cut, slit, punch, drill, or stamp it. Bunting® Flexible Magnetic Strips conform to irregular shapes and provide holding power superior to conventional magnets on uneven metal surfaces. You can cut or form them easily without cracking or loss of magnetic energy. They’re light in weight and can be removed, reused, bent, or twisted again and again. Their flexibility and magnetic strength make them ideal where rigid, brittle, or electrically conductive materials can’t be used.

Custom Cut-To-Length Bunting® can cut or score Flexible Magnetic Strips to your specifications. Refer to the diagrams below to select the cutting or scoring method you prefer.
Magnetic Strip Cutting Capabilities
Applications include latches or catches, gaskets, door seals, tool holders, and holding fixtures. For signs, charts, displays, shelf labeling, and novelties, they’re a reusable alternative to adhesive or fasteners. They can also be used in switches or sensing devices or to dampen noise and vibration.
CP Cut Part Cutting blade severs all substrates. Strip is cut into individual pieces.
Bunting® Magnetics Co. can convert Flexible Magnetic Strips to meet your requirements.

CTM Cut Through Magnet Cutting blade cuts completely through magnet and PSA adhesive but leaves the PSA liner intact. Cut pieces are peeled from the liner. STM Score Through Magnet Cutting blade cuts 3⁄4 of the thickness of the magnetic strip. The strip can be broken into cut pieces by bending at the score. STP Score Through Paper Cutting blade cuts PSA paper carrier, adhesive layer, and penetrates 3⁄4 of the thickness of the magnetic strip. The strip can be broken into cut pieces by bending at the score. STV Score Through Vinyl Cutting blade cuts colored vinyl top coating and penetrates 3⁄4 of the thickness of the magnetic strip. The strip can be broken into cut pieces by bending at the score.
