To decorate her new locker at Du Bois High School -- and avoid the sticky contact paper -- Sarah came up with the brilliant idea of magnetic locker wallpaper and asked her father Paul Buckel if he could make it for her.
Paul was Chief Executive Officer of a company named MagnaCard, which started out manufacturing business card magnets, but has broadened to other products, such as magnetic tape and dry-erase magnetic memo disks.
Turns out, Magna Card needed some fresh innovation injected to their product line and Sarah's idea was gladly welcomed at the time. After all the logistics were worked out and the product was put into production Sarah's idea would net her over $1 million in sales.
The designs offered range from flowers to prints to stripes to various colors and so much more. Buyers loved the idea of locker wallpaper. Target, Staples, Rite Aid and other major chain stores all placed orders
For those that do not want to deal with the hassles of the local stores and the potential of limited availability and variety especially during back to school season, and would prefer to shop online, Amazon has a huge selection.
Buckel is currently developing a whole new product line using electrically charged paper for decorating dorm rooms and other spaces.
