Shop Magnetic Bulletin Boards

Read all about it!

There are generally two things that come to mind when people think of cork: wine bottles and bulletin boards. We all grew up seeing them at school (bulletin boards, that is!), sometimes at home, and then went on to see them in the office environment.

Bulletin boards come in a wide array of sizes and styles, but basically do one and the same thing: help people to communicate on a slew of important subjects: teachers with students of all ages, employers with employees, moms and dads with their youngsters, and more.

The one defining feature that distinguishes the bulletin board is that it enables people to get information and rally around ideas and events without actually meeting one another face to face. Stickies, photographs, announcements, schedules, you name it. In fact, when you think about it, bulletin boards are a simple and astute way to do something actually quite sophisticated.

Low-tech yet effective

A cork board in a frame with push pins works fine for many people, and has for a long time now. Let's start with the multipurpose pin boards. The greatest thing about them is that they're eternally reusable. From lightweight cork foam boards to sleek boards featuring decorative hardwood or metal frames, all are perfect for school-related presentations, art and photo displays, memory boards and business needs. What's especially nice is that they not only come in a wide variety of styles and sizes, but will fit just about any person's or organization's budget.

Note that all bulletin boards or not made of cork: some models feature a durable and resilient fabric or fabric-backed vinyl surface that resists moisture, mold, mildew, bacteria and chemicals. Some models are encased in a—sometimes lockable—glass-door cabinet. This feature is especially practical when you need to keep a handle over what is being posted.

For the kids

Bulletin boards can also be used for any number of educational purposes. If you're in the field of education—or if you're a parent with young kids—you'll definitely want to take a peek at the dozens of specialty boards we offer.

Creative Teaching Press and Carson Dellosa are two brand names you'll want to remember when it comes to bulletin boards with an educational character. Will it be a funky weather bulletin, an alphabet teaching board, a calendar-style board or a "grammar mistakes" bulletin board? There are many other options, so take your pick.

And while we're on the subject of communication...

There are times when people do meet to exchange or learn. In business and education, not many objects are as useful and practical as an easel that you can use to make presentations and to jot down ideas with a view to gathering a consensus on business, science or social issues that matter.

It goes without saying that erasable whiteboards and chalkboards have always been and still are paramount in education. You'll find a slew of them at Quill, along with folding easels on wheels and paper pad easels generally used in business.
