I used to buy steel paper from Renaissance Ink. But I can't seem to contact them. Their website is down and my emails are not being answered.

Does anyone know where I can buy steel paper (without or without an adhesive backing)?

I used to buy 13" x 13" sheets of white steel paper. I'd love to find some more of them. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Litko?

Last time I checked, Litko didn't carry 13" x 13" sheets. They are perfect for lining the scrapbook cases that I use to transport my figures.

This is were I'd get it. The rolls are a bit pricey but they are big. $13 USD for 12" by 24" isn't terrible. Cheaper if you get the stuff without the adhesive.

I went to the link. I saw lots of magentic sheets, but no steel paper. Since my figures are mounted on magnets, I need steel paper. Magnetic sheets just won't do the trick.

? from that link, my added italics:

Rubber steel looks like magnet but it is not magnetic. Magnets stick to it. Tiny steel particles inside the rubber material attract magnets. Magnets stick to Rubber Steel better than they stick to other magnets.

Thanks for clarifying.

Closest Litko seems to carry is link – 8.5x11 inch Flexible Steel Sheet.

Too Bad about RenInk, I loved the basing gels they carried.

Magnets bases will stick to magnetic sheeting just fine!

I think magnetvalley has it

Roofing shingles are a really inexpensive way to line a box

I've been using their " Flex o Metal " sheets for the last few years.At £1.25 GBP per A4 sheet it's cost effective an works a treat.

I have some steel paper available for sale.

Steel Paper sheets they are approximately 9 x 12 – hand cut which is why I go above the 11 x8.5" size. I include one full sheet label for $7.50 USD per sheet now + shipping at cost.

In 2005 I bought this from Rochester Magnetic company paying 445 bucks for a roll of 10 mil by 36" by 82 feet self adhesive paper steel. Works out to 1.83 per sq foot

I am sure it is more now

They also sell sheets rather than rolls
