Description
Product Overview
Data Control presents a thoughtfully engineered solution for educators, laboratory managers, and industrial technicians who need fast, reliable visual communication. The Flip Over Magnetic Double‑Sided Symbols are 2‑inch round magnets with a vinyl‑coated flexible magnetic backing. One face is printed in a medium green hue, while the opposite side features a vivid red shade, allowing a single magnet to convey two distinct messages simply by flipping it over.
The magnets are constructed from a high‑grade flexible magnetic sheet that adheres securely to any ferrous surface. The vinyl overlay protects the printed graphics from abrasion, chemical exposure, and frequent handling. Each piece is lightweight yet robust enough to stay in place during routine cleaning, repositioning, or accidental impacts. The product ships as a set of 25 magnets, providing ample inventory for classroom labs, safety stations, or production floor labeling.
Beyond the basic color‑coding, the design incorporates a smooth, low‑profile edge that prevents snagging on equipment or clothing. The magnetic force is calibrated to hold firmly on steel without damaging delicate surfaces, making the symbols suitable for both permanent installations and temporary displays. The double‑sided format maximizes wall‑space efficiency, reducing the need for multiple separate labels and simplifying inventory management.
Each symbol is produced under strict quality‑control standards at Data Control’s manufacturing facilities. The printing process uses UV‑stable inks that resist fading, ensuring that the green and red cues remain vivid over the product’s expected lifespan. The magnets are also compatible with standard magnetic boards, whiteboards with a steel backing, and any magnetic safety panels commonly found in educational and industrial environments.
Usage
In a science classroom, teachers can use the green side to indicate a completed experiment step and flip to red to signal a hazard or a required corrective action. The quick visual switch helps students stay focused and reduces the time spent rewriting or replacing paper labels. Because the magnets adhere directly to steel lab benches, they eliminate the need for additional mounting hardware.
Industrial facilities benefit from the symbols when marking equipment status, such as “operational” (green) versus “maintenance required” (red). The magnets can be placed on metal cabinets, machinery housings, or safety panels, providing an instantly recognizable status indicator that can be updated without tools. Their durability ensures they survive the rigors of a busy shop floor, including exposure to oils, solvents, and temperature fluctuations.
For safety signage, the flip‑over design allows compliance officers to maintain a single set of symbols that meet both OSHA color‑coding requirements and site‑specific instructions. By flipping the magnet, the same physical piece can serve multiple regulatory purposes, simplifying audits and reducing waste. The magnets also work well on magnetic whiteboards used for daily shift briefings, where supervisors can quickly change the displayed message to reflect real‑time conditions.

FAQ
Can the magnets be used on painted metal surfaces?
The magnets require a ferrous surface to achieve a strong hold. Painted metal that still contains a steel substrate will work, but the magnetic force may be reduced if the paint layer is thick. For best results, apply the magnet to a clean, uncoated steel area.
Are the symbols reusable after cleaning?
Yes. The vinyl coating is resistant to most common cleaning agents. You can wipe the magnets with a damp cloth or mild detergent without damaging the printed colors. This makes them ideal for environments where frequent sanitation is required.
What is the recommended temperature range for use?
The magnets perform reliably from -20 °C to 80 °C (-4 °F to 176 °F). Extreme temperatures outside this range may affect magnetic strength or cause the vinyl to become brittle.
How many times can the magnet be flipped before the print fades?
Our testing shows the UV‑stable inks retain their color intensity for thousands of flips under normal indoor lighting. Even with regular flipping in a high‑traffic area, the symbols remain legible for the product’s expected lifespan.
Can I order a custom color or size?
Data Control offers custom printing options for bulk orders. Contact our sales team to discuss specific color requirements, alternative dimensions, or branding needs. Custom orders are subject to minimum quantity requirements and additional lead time.
