In Ireland it is still law to display your tax/insurance documents in your cars window screen. We recently heard from one of our customers, John Quinn, who created their own Tax/ Insurance document holder with our magnetic and ferrous sheets. See the final result below…
With the help of Johns pictures, we have put together a step by step guide for you to follow, to create your own! For the application we recommend you use MagFlex® + Ultra A4 adhesive sheet and FerroFlex® 590/620mm Wide Flexible Ferrous Sheet. Our MagFlex® and FerroFlex sheets are extremely versatile for a range of applications and can be easily cut with scissors or craft knife.
Step 1.
Get your Ferroflex® sheet and lay your tax discs or insurance slip next to each other the ferroflex® . Then with a ruler carefully mark and draw out a shape that will link them both together. This will be used as the backing for the holder.
Step 2.
With scissors or a craft knife simply cut out the shape out.
Step 3.
Place the shape on to the MagFlex® + Ultra A4 adhesive sheet and draw around the shape.
Step 4.
Again, with scissors or a craft knife simply cut out the shape out.
Step 5.
Next with the MagFlex® + Ultra A4 adhesive cut out, you will then need to mark out the same shape 1 cm smaller.
Step 6.
Then simply cut along the new line to remove the middle. You will then be left with the following two pieces. Our customer painted the Ferroflex® silver.
Step 7.
Peel the adhesive backing from the MagFlex® sheet and stick to the inside of your car windscreen to create the frame. Leave the adhesive to set for 24-32 hours.
Step 8.
Place the FerroFlex® sheet to the MagFlex® frame, simply peel back the FerroFlex® sheet and place your tax/insurance documents inside, and then place the FerroFlex® back. Once fixed in place, this will provide a secure closure for holding the documents in place, whilst allowing for versatility to open and detach when required.
Tah dah! A very simple but effective way to displaying your tax and insurance documents. We would like to thank John for sharing his pictures and great idea with us!
