The MagFlap Clipboard Adds Flaps for Improved Document Handling

The MagFlap clipboard rethinks the traditional clipboard with magnetic features designed to keep paperwork secure and organized. Developed by Japanese stationery brand King Jim, the design incorporates a magnetic front flap that prevents pages from lifting in the wind while protecting paper edges from damage. A second magnetic flap on the back holds completed sheets out of the way, and a full-width metal clip secures documents evenly across the top. The magnetic body also attaches directly to steel surfaces for hands-free use.

Available in A4 vertical, A4 horizontal, and A3 horizontal formats, the clipboard is constructed from polypropylene with a PP film finish and accommodates up to 30 sheets of standard paper. A printed alignment guide assists with document placement, while the 0.7-inch profile remains rigid enough for one-handed use. Offered in blue, red, green, and black, the MagFlap combines multiple paper-management features into a compact clipboard intended for students, healthcare workers, inspectors, and other professionals.
