Pin Magnets

The majority of our pin magnets have a diameter of 12mm and a 22mm height. Magnetic pins are strong enough to hold approximately 10 sheets of printer paper to magnetic boards, white boards, metallic office cabinets, filing, drawers, or any magnetic surface.

These strong magnets are ideal for adhering notes, messages, invitations, to-do lists, invoices, calendars or any kind of document you want to display in the workplace, classroom, home or factory. Use our powerful pin magnets to keep your spaces organized and personalize your space with your favourite colours.

You can use these magnetic board pins to accentuate the decor of your home or office. Visual communication has never been easier. The whole team can be kept up to date with one centralized and easily understood colour coded board.

Schools right across Australia have taken to magnetic displays as a cost effective and reusable means of displaying classroom materials. Magnets provide an easy way of securing worksheets, class work, rules and procedures. They can be updated and adjusted as needed without the fuss of bluetack and sticky tape. Unlike these alternative means of attachment, the papers themselves are not damaged in the process of displaying them. The colours are visually engaging and assist students who are not yet accomplished readers. 

Stainless steel push pin magnets

Most of our pin magnets have a plastic shell and come in one standard size. However we also have three sizes of stainless steel magnetic pins. These come in three different sizes, being 12mm, 16mm and 22mm diameter and each size comes in a four pack. The stainless steel shell of these pin magnets means they are well suited to industrial kitchens as they can be cleaned and sterilized with ease. 

Home users may also prefer the chrome-like finish to suit stainless steel appliances and contemporary aesthetics. The shape of these magnetic push pins is also more refined than the traditional pawn shape of pin magnets.

The increase in diameter means these stainless steel magnetic pins also provide more magnetic power. They have an incredible holding power of 3.5kg, 7kg and 14kg respectively. However it is important to note this strength is measured against 10mm thick steel and on a horizontal plane. Fridge steel is significantly thinner and the magnetic field is not able to achieve full saturation, thereby reducing the hold capacity. Vertical surfaces also reduce the holding strength of a magnet due to the effects of gravity.

Neodymium magnets

There are two main types of magnets that are generally used for small holding applications. These are Ferrite and Neodymium. Ferrite is a dark matte finish magnet that is commonly found on souvenirs and novelty magnets. Neodymium magnets have a chrome-like finish and are packed with magnetic power. These rare earth magnets are able to put other forms of magnet in the shade when it comes to their impressive magnetic power to size ratio. 

All of the pin magnets available at AMF are made with Neodymium magnets to provide maximum magnetic power. These magnetic pins are capable of holding a number of sheets of paper.
