Look up something called "mu metals".
Caution: there are no practical material (of arbitrary thickness) that can shield magnetic field of arbitrary strength. So your question is rather vague.

Check the superconductors.

I've found such an interesting question on this website,
http://www.Newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/phy00/phy00508.htm
It is also very helpful for my little knowledge about the magnetic field. So thanks for the question
