Coala Magforce – ultra thin with superior magnetism

Print Solutions

Coala MagForce is a new generation of magnetic PVC film that brings stronger power while reducing weight. The substrate is available from Antalis.

It is a printable magnetic PVC, matt white, consisting of a laminated PVC face film on a brown magnetic base. Available in two different thicknesses – Coala MagForce PVC 350 micron for interior magnetic signage and 600 micron for interior or exterior vehicle graphics use. 

Coala MagForce is thinner and lighter but has a stronger force than equivalent gauges of traditional magnetic films. It rolls out flatter and is easier to handle. It also has roll flatness and more flexibility, giving a smoother printer feed, and is easier to cut and mount onto slightly curved surfaces. It is both VOC free (a+) and formaldehyde free.

By reducing material weight, it also provides many operational benefits such as lower transport costs in the supply chain. It is available in longer roll options allowing for maximum productivity giving more square metres to a roll, so less handling and swapping is required on the printer – increasing production efficiency.

The thinner gauge 350 micron has superior magnetic attraction making it ideal for interior magnetics such as store advertising, interior décor and point of sale. The 600 micron is for exterior vehicle signage and vehicle marking and can be applied to iron or steel.

Coala MagForce also has superior printing compatibility with (eco) solvent, UV and latex technologies.

Product manager at Antalis, Mike Collins, commented: ‘The new MagForce range is a new addition to our trusted Coala portfolio and is a product that is both versatile and increasing in popularity for point of sale and vehicle use. It is thinner and more lightweight, giving benefits that printers will appreciate such as less material use and improved production efficiency.’
