Frequently asked questions

What badge size fits these holders - will a standard 86x54 mm card work?
Yes, a standard credit-card-size badge of 86x54 mm fits without any issue - this is the most common format for staff and conference badges. The real limit is the steel plate itself: the badge should not be larger than the plate, otherwise the corners overhang and the 3M tape loses grip faster at the edges. Smaller name tags and cards work just as well as long as they fit within the plate's outline. The card format is up to the customer - we only supply the magnetic clasp that attaches to the back of the badge.
We already have lanyard or pin badges. Can they be converted to magnetic ones?
Yes, and this is the most common way our clasps get used - there is no need to order new badges. The clip or pin is removed from the existing badge, and the steel plate that comes with the clasp is stuck on in its place using the included 3M tape. The only condition is a flat, clean back surface for the tape to bond to. PVC cards, plastic inserts and laminated name tags all work without any extra preparation, and converting one badge takes just a moment.
What should a staff badge show, and does it have to carry a surname?
The scope of information on a staff badge is decided by the employer, not by any fixed template - many companies print only a first name and job title, leaving out the surname to limit the personal data visible to customers. This is a data protection decision, so it is worth checking with whoever handles data compliance in the company rather than following a generic pattern. We have no influence on the badge content and do not print it ourselves - we only supply the magnetic clasp that holds the finished badge on clothing.
Can the badge be swapped, for example on a change of role or for a conference?
Yes, the steel plate stays glued to the badge permanently, but the magnetic strip detaches from it at any time - it simply unclips from the plate. When a role or surname changes, the simplest approach is to print a new badge and stick a new plate to it, reusing the same magnetic strip. For one-off events like conferences or training sessions, the same set of clasps can be reused with different badges each time - the plates are inexpensive and are ordered separately from the magnetic strip.
Will the badge rotate, and is it readable from a distance at a counter or reception?
Two-point models such as C321 or C323 hold a badge steadier than a single magnet, since the card rests on two axes and does not spin freely with faster movement. Readability at a distance, however, depends mainly on the badge design itself - font size and contrast - rather than on the clasp, so it is worth using larger print for badges meant to be read at a reception desk or counter. The clasp's job is simply to keep the card from falling and hold it straight on the clothing.
Pacemaker, hearing aid, contactless card - what about safety when wearing the badge?
People with a pacemaker or any other implanted electronic device should not wear a magnetic badge clasp on the chest - this is a rule that cannot be worked around with a different housing or a weaker magnet, and such a person should be given a lanyard or pin badge instead. Contactless RFID cards and magnetic stripes on badges can be demagnetised by prolonged direct contact with a magnet, so it is best not to store them in the same pocket as the clasp. Hearing aids worn close to the chest are worth checking individually with the device manufacturer.
We are ordering badges for a whole team. How many holders to count and what to order with them?
The number of clasps should match the number of people on the team, plus a small spare stock in case a plate is lost or damaged - the badges themselves (cards, name tags, printing) are ordered separately, outside our offer, since we only supply the mounting mechanism. Each clasp already comes with a steel plate and 3M tape, so there is no need to order that separately. It is worth standardising on one model across the team - larger badges or heavier holders work better with a two-magnet version, while light name tags are fine with a single mounting point.

The magnetic holder is safe for delicate fabrics, expensive suits, silk, and shirts. This ensures elegance and wearing comfort, without the risk of pricking yourself or ruining clothes. It is the most frequently chosen type of fastening in corporations, hotels, and banks.
The set includes a strip with magnets (put under clothes) and a steel plate with tape (on the outside). The outer part has strong 3M foam tape, to which a business card or plastic case is stuck. The plastic magnet housing is pleasant to the touch, smooth, and safe for the user.
Attraction force is sufficient to hold the badge even on winter clothing. A larger number of magnetic points prevents the badge from twisting.
There is a risk of disrupting pacemaker operation by a strong magnetic field, so we advise against this solution for people with implants. For other people, magnets are completely safe and indifferent to health.
We have large warehouse stocks in Poland, allowing for fast fulfillment of orders for companies (even thousands of pieces). You can order samples to check the quality before a larger purchase.

Advantages as well as disadvantages of rare earth magnets.

Pros

Besides their exceptional pulling force, neodymium magnets offer the following advantages:
  • They virtually do not lose strength, because even after ten years the performance loss is only ~1% (according to literature),
  • Magnets effectively resist against demagnetization caused by external fields,
  • Thanks to the shiny finish, the surface of nickel, gold-plated, or silver-plated gives an visually attractive appearance,
  • Neodymium magnets generate maximum magnetic induction on a their surface, which increases force concentration,
  • Due to their durability and thermal resistance, neodymium magnets can operate (depending on the form) even at high temperatures reaching 230°C or more...
  • Thanks to versatility in forming and the ability to modify to individual projects,
  • Significant place in electronics industry – they serve a role in magnetic memories, electric drive systems, medical equipment, also multitasking production systems.
  • Thanks to their power density, small magnets offer high operating force, occupying minimum space,

Limitations

Characteristics of disadvantages of neodymium magnets: weaknesses and usage proposals
  • They are fragile upon heavy impacts. To avoid cracks, it is worth securing magnets using a steel holder. Such protection not only protects the magnet but also increases its resistance to damage
  • When exposed to high temperature, neodymium magnets suffer a drop in strength. Often, when the temperature exceeds 80°C, their power decreases (depending on the size and shape of the magnet). For those who need magnets for extreme conditions, we offer [AH] versions withstanding up to 230°C
  • When exposed to humidity, magnets start to rust. For applications outside, it is recommended to use protective magnets, such as those in rubber or plastics, which secure oxidation as well as corrosion.
  • Due to limitations in creating threads and complex shapes in magnets, we propose using cover - magnetic mechanism.
  • Health risk to health – tiny shards of magnets are risky, if swallowed, which is particularly important in the aspect of protecting the youngest. It is also worth noting that small elements of these products can complicate diagnosis medical in case of swallowing.
  • Due to expensive raw materials, their price is higher than average,

Lifting parameters

Best holding force of the magnet in ideal parameters – what contributes to it?

The declared magnet strength refers to the limit force, measured under laboratory conditions, meaning:
  • with the application of a sheet made of special test steel, ensuring full magnetic saturation
  • whose transverse dimension reaches at least 10 mm
  • with a surface cleaned and smooth
  • under conditions of gap-free contact (surface-to-surface)
  • during detachment in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface
  • in stable room temperature

Impact of factors on magnetic holding capacity in practice

Effective lifting capacity is affected by specific conditions, such as (from most important):
  • Distance – the presence of foreign body (rust, tape, air) interrupts the magnetic circuit, which lowers power rapidly (even by 50% at 0.5 mm).
  • Direction of force – highest force is obtained only during pulling at a 90° angle. The force required to slide of the magnet along the surface is usually many times lower (approx. 1/5 of the lifting capacity).
  • Base massiveness – insufficiently thick plate does not close the flux, causing part of the power to be lost to the other side.
  • Material type – the best choice is high-permeability steel. Cast iron may attract less.
  • Smoothness – full contact is obtained only on smooth steel. Rough texture reduce the real contact area, reducing force.
  • Temperature influence – hot environment reduces pulling force. Too high temperature can permanently damage the magnet.

Holding force was checked on a smooth steel plate of 20 mm thickness, when the force acted perpendicularly, whereas under shearing force the load capacity is reduced by as much as 75%. Moreover, even a slight gap between the magnet and the plate decreases the lifting capacity.

Safety rules for work with NdFeB magnets
Safe operation

Handle with care. Rare earth magnets act from a distance and connect with massive power, often faster than you can move away.

No play value

Strictly keep magnets out of reach of children. Choking hazard is high, and the effects of magnets connecting inside the body are tragic.

Sensitization to coating

A percentage of the population suffer from a sensitization to nickel, which is the typical protective layer for NdFeB magnets. Prolonged contact might lead to an allergic reaction. We strongly advise wear protective gloves.

GPS Danger

Note: neodymium magnets generate a field that disrupts sensitive sensors. Keep a separation from your mobile, device, and navigation systems.

Electronic devices

Intense magnetic fields can erase data on payment cards, hard drives, and storage devices. Keep a distance of min. 10 cm.

Life threat

Warning for patients: Strong magnetic fields disrupt electronics. Keep at least 30 cm distance or ask another person to work with the magnets.

Machining danger

Machining of NdFeB material poses a fire hazard. Magnetic powder reacts violently with oxygen and is hard to extinguish.

Do not overheat magnets

Standard neodymium magnets (N-type) undergo demagnetization when the temperature exceeds 80°C. Damage is permanent.

Bone fractures

Large magnets can break fingers in a fraction of a second. Do not put your hand betwixt two attracting surfaces.

Fragile material

Protect your eyes. Magnets can explode upon uncontrolled impact, launching sharp fragments into the air. Eye protection is mandatory.
