What is a pinboard?

In simple terms, a pinboard or corkboard is a board - or a hard foam board - to which papers can be attached or pinned for presentation purposes using drawing pins, needles or pins. Important documents are also quickly accessible and eye-catching. There are also variants made of natural cork, which are rounded off with a wooden frame. The classic pinboard is predominantly made of cork. However, there are now also many other models on the market, which are complemented by combination pinboards. Pinboards are then sometimes also called memo boards or presentation boards. Cork board or cork board can also be a term for a pinboard. So there are many ways to find a pinboard. There are also different products or variants, sizes and designs of pinboards. So feel free to browse through the MAUL range.

What is a pinboard needed for?

Typically, a pinboard or cork board is used to publicise appointments and other information - for example in the office or at school as a notice board. Ideas or tasks can also be pinned, organised and managed. The pinboard is also often used for presentations, lectures and moderations. Products that are being planned can also be presented well on a pinboard. This makes it easy to discuss colours, design and tips for the future project. Therefore, no pinboard should be missing in the office or at school. It is also an excellent way to add memos and information to a world map or an overview of prices. Maps or special moderation cards are attached to it, for example with drawing pins or magnets. There are many public pinboards for this purpose - at work, in apartment blocks or at doctors' surgeries. In pinboard moderation, a moderation method within a group, ideas are produced, collected, visualised, organised and evaluated. As the name suggests, this pinboard moderation therefore requires a pinboard as the central point of the moderation. At home, a pinboard can also be used as a memo board or as a pinboard for photos and postcards. Here, the memo board is usually used as a reminder of appointments or tasks. A classic pinboard is also ideal for decorations. Pictures, artwork, cards or photos can be arranged and displayed as desired.

What types of pinboards are there?

Pinboards, also known as memo boards, are available in many different designs. Apart from the various formats and sizes, the pinboards differ in terms of the material. Cork boards or cork walls are common, as are felt surfaces. So-called combination boards are also very popular. Here, the boards or hard foam boards are equipped with different surfaces and therefore offer many different application options. In general, however, a distinction is made between the following pinboards or memo boards:

Pinboard made from cork (cork board)

With a cork pinboard, you are opting for an environmentally friendly option. The pinboard has a cork surface (natural cork) and a wooden frame. The surface is water-repellent and self-healing. This means that the pinholes usually disappear by themselves after a certain amount of time. Accordingly, the cork board can be used over a longer period of time without any visual restrictions. This type of pinboard can be easily mounted on any wall and is a classic eye-catcher. Shopping lists, notes or other documents can be attached to it using drawing pins or pins. The cork board can also be easily rearranged if required. This memo board is usually attached to the wall, but can also be leant against a wall or free-standing with the help of a stand. There are now cork pinboards that are also equipped with a whiteboard surface. This gives you the opportunity to write on the pinboard.

Pinboard made of metal

A very modern and popular variant is the metal pinboard. Strictly speaking, this product is a memo board with a metal surface. With this model, you need magnets to pin documents or notes. The frame is usually made of sturdy aluminium. If it has a whiteboard surface, the memo board can be written on with a special marker. This pinboard is characterised by a stylish look and high stability, which is why it is also a popular choice for professional use. The respective product information can be found individually for each product.

Felt pinboard

A very natural and certainly sustainable pinboard is the model made of felt. It offers an advantage that is familiar from the cork pinboard. Pinholes close automatically after a while. The board is also water-repellent and retains its shape. Even UV rays cannot harm the felt surface. The models have different frames. Some pinboards have a sturdy aluminium frame, others have an inconspicuous stretcher frame or a simple wooden frame. Most pinboards made of felt impress with their modern designs. The surface is designed in different colours, creating decorative accents. These can also be easily attached to the wall and can not only decorate an office, but also fulfil a practical purpose at many stages of life.

Which documents can be pinned to the pinboard?

• Shopping lists
• To-do lists
• Cleaning schedule
• Task lists
• House rules
• Presentations
• Notices
• Important information
• Moderation cards
• Notes with important information
• Presentation
• Motivational cards or pictures as eye-catchers
• Invoices

Accessories for the pinboard

If the pinboard is made of cork, you will need pins or so-called pinboard pins to attach notes to it. The pins are available in many different designs and colours. The situation is different for memo boards or whiteboards. In this case, you should use magnets instead of drawing pins to pin up your documents. These accessories are also available in many different versions. Another accessory that is especially needed for a memo board with a magnetic board is a special marker that you can use to write on the board. The notes can then be removed with a sponge. When buying a pinboard, you should make sure that the wall mounting material is included. Only then will it be easy to mount on the wall. You may have to purchase the necessary material separately. At MAUL, you can find mounting material in our product categories.

Partitions are a useful accessory for the pinboard. The pinboard can then also be set up. The moderation boards are usually equipped with such partitions. Pinboard moderation is used in many courses and training sessions. For the moderation method with moderation cards, you also need a moderation board. Ideally, this should be a pinboard that can not only be written on, but on which notes and information can also be pinned.
