Question:

How many papers can a printed magnetic sheet hold up?

I want to make my own magnets and I found Inkjet Magnetic Sheets at Staples. Each printable page is 13.5 mil thick but I don‘t know how many pages that will successfully hold up on a refrigerator. I would hate to go through the effort of making the magnets and then have then slide to the floor under the weight of a few pieces of paper. Any help would be appreciated!

Answer:

The answer depends on how large you're making the magnets (the larger the stronger), along with how much magnetic material is contained in the 13.5 mil material. That said, 13.5 mil material is a bit on the thin side, so I'm guessing, all said and done, no more than a sheet or two.
