What's the best way to store and organize dry-erase markers at a whiteboard?

Proper marker storage significantly extends marker life and reduces the frustration of dried-out markers. Best practices: store markers horizontally or cap-side-up — never cap-side-down, which drains ink toward the cap and dries out the felt tip faster. A magnetic marker tray mounted at the base of a magnetic whiteboard stores markers conveniently and keeps them horizontal. A lidded box or organizer tray with slots keeps markers capped and organized by color. Mark the expiration date on new markers with a permanent marker on the cap — dry-erase markers have a limited shelf life even when unused. Test markers monthly and discard dried ones immediately — dried markers smear rather than write cleanly. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
