Smart Ways to Use Magnets in the Office
At Apex Magnets, our products aren’t just for industrial and manufacturing environments; they’re also everyday problem-solvers for businesses and workplaces of all sizes. Whether you manage a corporate office, retail location, or shared workspace, using magnets for office organization can make a big difference in productivity, cleanliness, and convenience.
From creative wall displays to cable management, here are some of the best ways to bring magnetic solutions into your workplace.
1. Hanging Art and Signage
Want to decorate or communicate without drilling holes or damaging walls? Magnets make it simple.
-
Use neodymium block magnets for framed art or heavy signage.
-
Try adhesive-backed magnets for lightweight posters, notices, and nameplates, or to create modular magnetic signage that can be updated quickly for events or announcements.
-
Make a DIY Magnetic Calendar to track tasks, deadlines, and projects.
2. Magnetic Key Racks
Magnetic key racks using neodymium hook magnets provide a quick, visible place to hang keys, lanyards, or access badges near your office entryway.
3. Cord and Cable Organization
Nothing clutters a desk faster than loose cords and chargers. Duckbill clip magnets, bendable silicone magnets, and mini hook pin magnets can all help keep cords neat and organized. Attach them under desks, along walls, or inside cabinets for an instant upgrade in office organization.
You can even attach rubber-coated disc magnets to hold power strips in place or secure cords along metal desk legs without damaging the surface.
4. Magnetic Solutions for Breakrooms
Magnets can help keep shared spaces clean and efficient, too.
-
Attach hook magnets to refrigerators or cabinets to hold utensils, towels, or oven mitts.
-
Make magnetic labels by attaching adhesive-backed neodymium magnets to a label and sticking them on containers or shelves for easy inventory tracking.
5. Presentation and Collaboration Tools
Magnets make presentations and brainstorming sessions smoother. Duckbill magnets attach charts, printouts, or mock-ups to whiteboards or steel surfaces without pins or tape. Need a portable idea board? Mount your materials on a magnetic marker board that can move between offices or departments.
Magnets for Office Organization
Magnets are one of the simplest tools to help teams stay organized and efficient. From labeling and signage to cord management and breakroom solutions, these small tools deliver big results. With magnets, you can easily make changes without permanent fixtures, ideal for shared or flexible office environments. For more inspiration, check out our blog on how to create a DIY Command Center.

Magnets can be dangerous. Neodymium magnets, especially, must be handled with care to avoid personal injury and damage to the magnets. Fingers and other body parts can get severely pinched between two attracting magnets. Bones can be broken by larger magnets.
