Pin boards and cork boards, made in Noida and packed under your label

Three of our six board types are for pinning. A framed pinboard has a fabric or cork surface on a high-density foam core with an engineered wood back, inside a hand-crafted solid wood frame. A frameless pinboard is fabric on a foam core with a sturdy engineered wood back, and is sold as a notice, soft, vision or bulletin board. A cork board is 100% natural cork, framed or frameless.

In all three, pin holes can close up over time, so the board keeps looking tidy as notes come and go. Framed boards are ready to hang, horizontally or vertically, and framed cork boards arrive with hanging fittings in place.

Most of a pin board order comes down to five decisions. The list below follows the order in which we usually ask for them.

Magnetic, white and glass boards are a different family and are always framed. If you need a writing surface, see the magnetic and writing boards page.

Cork and fabric give different looks. Cork reads natural and informal, while fabric brings colour. As a screen never shows the real finish, check your chosen surface on a sample before you approve the run, and look at the back and the hanging fittings too.

• Surface: fabric or natural cork. Frameless fabric boards come in five colours, or carry a printed design.
• Frame: framed or frameless. Framed pinboards use a solid wood frame in one of six standard colours: Black, White, Dark Brown, Natural Brown, Golden and Antique Gold. Any other colour is made on request.
• Size: one of the sixteen standard pinboard sizes, or a custom size made to measure up to 6 feet. The largest size depends on the category.
• Print: any map, pattern or artwork can be printed on every board type. Four sample map styles show the range, and a map or design you supply is just as welcome.
• Orientation: framed boards hang horizontally or vertically.

Name the board type and the size. For a printed board, send the artwork or the map and say where it should sit. For a framed board, choose a frame colour. For a set, say which sizes go together, and tell us how you will sell the boards so we can plan the packing.

Boards are made in our own factory in Noida across nine stations: prepress, printing, lamination, sheet cutting on a 5 × 8 ft flatbed, frame making, joining, assembly, inspection and packing. Samples are paid, and by agreement the sample cost can be reimbursed or adjusted in your final order. The full run is made against the approved sample, and the product is packed under your label, with your inserts and packaging if you send them.

Price, minimum order and lead time are not published; they are confirmed in your quote. Export enquiries are welcome, and our standard term is ex-works Noida.
