Large hospital emergency rooms with over 50,000 patients a year continually write, erase and use magnets on our Magnatag® boards (that's over 150 writes and erases a day) to post patient status and critical medical information. Some of our competitor's boards are not designed nor recommended for everyday use (they even tell you that in the fine print footnotes on their web sites) and will not remain fully functional or maintain their appearance for years like Magnatag® boards do. We do a sizable business replacing worn-out boards made by other companies. For construction details of our boards click MagnaLux®.
