Quick answer
To display your Hill City Howlers magnets and decals, choose surfaces that won't be damaged by adhesive or magnets, group items by theme or size, and use removable mounting options for easy rotation.
Why surface choice matters
Magnets work best on smooth, magnetic surfaces like refrigerators, whiteboards, or metal lockers. Avoid painted or textured surfaces where magnets may scratch or fail to hold.
Decals need a clean, flat, and dry surface to adhere properly. Porous or rough surfaces can reduce adhesion and make removal difficult. Consider using a removable adhesive or a decal-friendly board if you want to change your display often.
Grouping for visual impact
Grouping your magnets and decals by theme, color, or size creates a cohesive look. For example, place championship decals together and wordmark magnets in a separate cluster. This makes the collection feel intentional rather than cluttered.
If you have a large collection, use a dedicated display area like a magnetic board or a framed corkboard lined with magnetic sheets. This keeps everything visible and easy to rearrange.
How to display your collection
- Choose your display surface: Select a magnetic surface for magnets (like a fridge or metal board) and a clean, flat, non-porous surface for decals (like a laptop lid or a plastic binder). Avoid textured or painted surfaces that could scratch or reduce adhesion. Test a small corner of the surface with a magnet or decal before committing.
- Clean the surface: Wipe the area with a mild cleaner and allow it to dry completely. For decals, use rubbing alcohol on a lint-free cloth to remove oils and dust. For magnets, just ensure the surface is dry to prevent rust or sliding. A clean, dry surface prevents decals from peeling and magnets from slipping.
- Arrange your items: Lay out your magnets and decals on a flat surface to plan the arrangement. Group by theme, color, or size. For decals, position them on the surface and use painter's tape to preview placement before peeling the backing. Use a ruler or level for straight lines, especially for larger decals.
- Apply decals carefully: Peel the backing slowly and apply the decal from one edge to the other, using a credit card or squeegee to press out air bubbles. For magnets, simply place them on the surface and adjust as needed. If you see bubbles, lift the decal and reapply slowly to avoid creases.
- Rotate and refresh: To keep your display interesting, rotate items seasonally or after big games. Magnets can be moved easily. For decals, use removable mounting squares or a decal-friendly board if you plan to change them often. Set a reminder to refresh your display every few months to keep it looking new.
