I was looking for a recommendation for magnet sheet that I can put in the bottom of Bigso boxes for figure storage:
My 28mm are mostly based 30mm x 60mm (3 figures) and 65mm x 45mm (six figures) on metal movement bases from Wargame Accessories. So there is some heft to some of them. Looking for a good source for magnet sheet that I can either stick or glue to the bottoms of the boxes. Thanks! |

Pondoo – I'm thinking Litko resells something that can be had elsewhere for much, much cheaper? |

Don't know what part of US you are in, but uf you have AC Moore craft stores they sell magnetic sheets in various sizes. Otherwise, look for a local sign store, the kind that makes stick on signs for cars/trucks. They might have magnetic sheet for sale that you can cut to fit. |

Big ditto to McMaster Carr. They make lots of great stuff and the magnets are very well done. I have large sheets of them that I cut into strips about half as wide as figure bases. You can get sticky back or plain sheets. No reason to have a sheet as big as the bottom of the box, as the strip will hold quite well. You might consider boxes from Uline. So much cheaper than what you show. |

+1 Bobgnar Uline boxes are very cheap, though you have to buy 50 or 100 at a time. Magnet King will sell you a roll of magnet and trim to size. |

Thanks all – the boxes are going to be displayed in my home office so wanted something a little more "fancy" ;-) Re: MagnetKing.com and McMaster Carr – awesome sites thank you! |

Go to your local store that makes signs. I buy rolls of magnetic sheeting from them. |
