How to Manufacture Refrigerator Magnet?

Refrigerator magnet has now become one of the indispensable promotional and promotional products of companies. So, how to manufacture fridge magnets? Let's start to explain the refrigerator magnet production step by step.

1. Printing the Image: The print of the prepared visual work is printed on 270 gr glossy or 300 gr American bristol paper. Printing on 300 gr American bristol will give better results. Because magnets are flexible materials. If magnet work is done with a low weight paper, the material will not have a full appearance. This can make the customer unhappy.

2. Cellphone: After printing, the top of the image is cellophane. In the selection of cellophane, companies generally prefer to use glossy cellophane. Because this is the general preference of customers.

3. Plastering the Image on the Magnet: Plastering is done with normal plastering glue. If you want the magnet to have a stronger stance, you can mix 1/9 A-1 hardener into the glue.

4. Pressing: The magnet (layer magnet) on which the image is plastered is taken to the pressing. The pressing step is skipped by most companies. The reason is that magnets are already heavy materials. Magnets placed on top of each other create a natural pressing effect by creating pressure with their own weight.

5. Knife Preparation: Knife is prepared in accordance with the shapes required by the image. These knives can be used for a long time if you are always going to work in the same size. The blunting of the blades takes about 3,000 - 4,000 sheet cuts. The blunted knife is discarded and a new knife is made in its place. If the blades become blunt, burrs may remain on the magnet edge during sorting or it may be difficult to sort.

6. Cutting Magnets: After the blade is placed on the pedal cutting machine, the sheet magnets are cut. Pedal cutting machine cuts with a knife on the sheet magnet by making one stroke at a time. The sheets are applied to the machine one by one and by hand.

7. Extracting Magnets: Extraction of magnets is done manually. The extracted magnets are stacked and packaged according to their categories. Magnets are now ready to decorate refrigerators.

What Kind of Magnets Should Be Used in Refrigerator Magnets?

While refrigerator magnets are covering our refrigerators day by day with new usage areas and attractive designs, new generation problems arise. The most important of these problems is the scratches on the metal surface to which the refrigerator or magnet sticks.

If ferrite (coal is called a magnet, black in color) or NdFeB magnets are used during the manufacture of the magnet, scratching will occur when the magnet is dragged from its place. Therefore, one of the important points of how to manufacture refrigerator magnets in order to avoid scratches on sensitive metal surfaces is the use of sheet magnets. Since sheet magnets are in the form of rubber, they do not scratch or damage metal surfaces.
