    Hi Nick
    My company use something called Ferrous, which is a very thin magnetic material almost paper thin. I’m not sure who the supplier is but Bisbell would be a good starting point. I will try and find out more.

    Yes David, you are correct.
    The material we use is called ferrous paper and it has the same properties as the thicker magnetic material printable one side and the reverse is the brown magnetic side. It is still 0.2mm thick. I will have to check out our supplier on Monday.

    Hi Nick.
    I said I would come back with some details for the thin magnetic material you were looking for.

    We call it ferrous paper but I don’t know if that’s the official name for it but this is the company we buy it from. They are based in Chelmsford, Essex.
    Good luck
