Neodymium Adhesive Backed Magnets

An adhesive backed magnet is a magnet with pressure-sensitive adhesive already applied to one side. Simply remove the protective liner and press the adhesive side onto a suitable surface. The magnetic face remains exposed so it can attract another magnet or a ferromagnetic surface such as steel.

Adhesive backed magnets are useful for hanging, mounting, attaching and creating removable magnetic connections. Common applications include Hanging Posters with Magnets, Hanging Artwork with Magnets, signs, displays, crafts, folders, boxes and Magnetic Closures for cabinets and other projects.

For the best bond, apply the adhesive backed magnet to a smooth, flat, clean and dry surface that is free of dust, oil and other contaminants. Firm application pressure helps the pressure-sensitive adhesive make good contact with the surface. Adhesion can vary significantly depending on the material and surface condition. See the 3M 467MP adhesive data sheet for additional information.

Yes. Double-sided adhesive discs and dots can be applied to compatible neodymium magnets to create your own adhesive backed magnet. This can be useful when the magnet size or shape you need is not available with adhesive already applied. Browse our magnet adhesive dots for additional options.

The best glue for a neodymium magnet depends on the magnet's coating, the material it is being attached to and the conditions of the application. Different adhesives may be better suited for wood, plastic, metal and other materials. See our Sticky Business - How to Glue Neodymium Magnets article for detailed information and adhesive recommendations.

Yes. Adhesive backed magnets can provide a simple way to add a magnetic closure to boxes, folders, displays, cabinet doors and other projects without drilling holes for the magnet. The magnet and adhesive should be selected with the required holding force, surface material and direction of the applied force in mind. See our Making Magnetic Closures article for more information.
