What the AI looks for in Paper Clip Holders

Magnetic opening
Choose a dispenser with a magnet at the mouth, not just at the base. Clips stay at the top ready to grab, and spills are contained.
Clip compatibility
Magnetic holders only work with steel clips. Plastic or aluminum clips need a lidded tray. Non-ferrous clips won't be held or dispensed.
Capacity vs clip size
Check that the opening fits the largest clip you use, for example jumbo paper clips or small binder clips. A narrow mouth jams with larger clips.
Electronics nearby
Keep strong magnetic holders away from magstripe cards and mechanical watches. Magnets can affect these items.
