Manufacturer information:
The magnetic notes from static magnetic are an innovative alternative to conventional sticky notes. They adhere to almost any smooth surface thanks to static electricity – without the need for glue or magnets. This means they can be moved flexibly, are reusable and leave no residue.
The front is available in different colours and can be written on with all standard pens, while the smooth white back can be used multiple times with water-soluble markers. Whether for mind mapping, Kanban boards, presentations or teamwork – the magnetic notes are versatile.
However, the adhesive force is limited in very dusty environments. Despite the slightly higher price, they are convincing due to their usefulness and reusability.
Advantages
- Reusable
- Adheres to many surfaces
- Versatile in use
- Large selection of colours
Disadvantages
- More expensive than conventional notepads
- Dust impairs adhesion

Packaging and contents
Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The magnetic notes make a good impression as soon as they are unpacked. They are supplied in a sturdy cardboard box that protects the product securely. An additional plastic film protects the notes from moisture. The contents of the pack are complete, so you can start using them straight away. As the Magnetic Notes are self-explanatory, no extensive instructions are required – however, there is brief information in English on the back of the packaging.

The magnetic notes impress at first glance with their modern and appealing design. They are available in a wide range of colours and three different sizes (7×5, 10×7 and 20×10 cm), so there is a suitable variant for every taste and purpose. The workmanship is high quality, the edges are cleanly cut and the surface is pleasantly smooth to the touch. The notepads are very stable, retain their shape even after repeated repositioning and are not susceptible to creases or tears.
When it comes to sustainability , static magnetic uses PP film, which is fully recyclable. Compared to classic paper sticky notes, they are more durable and do not require glue. Although paper is generally more sustainable, magnetic notes offer a sensible and resource-saving alternative thanks to their reusability and the absence of adhesive.

The magnetic notes from static magnetic perform excellently in everyday use. They adhere reliably to many different surfaces such as wood, glass, plastic, paper and metal. However, dusty surfaces can impair the adhesive force.
Even after repeated removal and re-application, the adhesive strength remains unrestricted. A major advantage is that they can be removed without leaving any residue – no adhesive residue or discolouration remains on the surface.
Writability is very good overall. Clear, legible notes can be made with ballpoint pens, office markers and pencils. Fineliners can smudge slightly and some coloured pencils look a little pale, but overall the writability is very good.
The Magnetic Notes stick securely in normal draughts through windows or doors. They can only flutter slightly if there is a very strong draught, for example if you blow on them. Vibrations, for example when closing a door or moving the pad, have no effect on adhesion.
All in all, magnetic notes offer an innovative and versatile solution for note-taking, planning and creative processes. They are reliable, durable and flexible to use – a real alternative to conventional sticky notes.

The magnetic notes are an innovative and efficient alternative to conventional sticky notes. Thanks to their electrostatic adhesion, reusable surface and versatile application options, they offer a practical solution for notes, planning and creative work – without any glue or residue.
Prices of up to €5.48 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products of a similar size and the same number of sheets. Very cheap products are available from as little as €1.17 . The magnetic notes from static magnetic are therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €2.83. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
