Refrigerator Magnetic Calendar

A refrigerator magnetic calendar is a type of calendar designed to adhere to metal surfaces, typically refrigerators, using magnets. It serves as a visual organizational tool for households, offices, or any space requiring a readily accessible scheduling and reminder system.

Material

• Calendar Surface: Commonly constructed from flexible materials like PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PP (polypropylene) plastic, or coated paper/cardstock. These materials allow for writing with magnetic markers.
• Magnetic Backing: Utilizes flexible magnetic sheets, often made of ferrite or rubber compounds containing magnetic particles. The strength of the magnet varies depending on the size of the calendar and the weight of any attachments (e.g., photos, notes).
• Markers: Typically include dry-erase magnetic markers designed for use on the calendar surface. Some calendars include erasers.

• Family Communication: Sharing schedules and messages among family members.
• Meal Planning: Some calendars include sections specifically for planning weekly meals.
