From the world of POP displays, comes a clever new twist on magnetics for graphics. Most people are familiar with magnetic mats and display films with magnetic edge strips – they’re close cousins to the lowly fridge magnet. Magnetic-receptive media by Visual Magnetics turn the concept around – the substrate is the magnet, and the film is pre-coated with micro-iron particles that allow it to adhere to the substrate. The films are very thin, in the 9 to 12 mil range, and can be layered up to four or five layers thick if desired. Lots of uses spring to mind here – this would be especially interesting for travelling exhibits where easy changing is important.
