Quartet

The Quartet Rare Earth clear round magnets are listed with a 12-sheet capacity for 20 lb paper. Use that as the practical limit for standard office sheets. Heavier paper, laminated sheets, curled notices, or thick packets may need more magnets or fewer sheets per magnet. On magnetic glass boards, hold strength can feel different than on steel boards because the magnet is separated from the backing by the glass surface. For larger sheets, use more than one magnet so the paper does not slide or curl. The clear housing keeps the magnet low-profile, which is useful when the board content should stay easy to read. Avoid overloading one magnet just because it feels strong.

No. Magnets work only on magnetic surfaces, such as many painted steel, porcelain steel, or magnetic glass boards. They will not stick to non-magnetic melamine boards or other writing surfaces without a metal backing. Before ordering Quartet magnets, confirm the board surface and whether it is advertised as magnetic. Whiteboard surface type also affects long-term performance. Melamine is usually more economical, while porcelain and glass surfaces tend to resist ghosting better under frequent use. If your team needs to post papers, schedules, and notes with magnets, choose a magnetic board from the beginning. For board matching, compare Quartet whiteboards by surface type and magnetic support.

Clear Quartet magnets are useful when you want the posted material to stay visually clean. They hold papers without adding strong color to the board, which makes them a good fit for meeting rooms, reception areas, offices, planning walls, and glass boards. Colored magnets can help with task status, shift planning, or category coding, but they can distract from formal presentations or customer-facing notices. The clear round housing also covers less of the paper than larger clips or bulky magnets. Strength still matters more than color, especially on magnetic glass boards. Choose clear rare earth magnets when the board should look neat and the documents need a secure, low-profile hold.

Check surface type, magnetic support, board size, and daily use before buying accessories. A planning board may need magnets, markers, erasers, and cleaners. A magnetic glass board may need rare earth magnets. A non-magnetic board will not work with magnets at all. Cleaning supplies should match the surface because residue and ghosting can make writing harder to read over time. Also think about how often the board is used. High-use meeting boards need reliable erasers and proper cleaning routines, while display boards may need magnets and document holders. For a matched accessory setup, review Quartet board accessories by board type instead of buying random supplies.
