Thumb Tacks Types and Styles

Find the right thumbtacks for your style

Thumbtacks come in many shapes, colors and sizes. You can opt for clear ones, brass ones, colored ones, or even decorative ones to grace your corkboard or French message board. They have to be sharp and functional to hold your item to your board or wall, and they have to leave minimal damage to your item as well.

Decorative pushpins and custom thumb tacks are also very popular. You can use them as employee gifts or to liven up you office space. They can be serious and conversation provoking, or they can be fun and whimsical. Whatever theme you decide to go with, your co-workers will be delighted to see the reflection of your personality.

To learn more about thumb tacks types and styles:

1. Go with clear thumbtacks to draw the attention to what is being hung. Clear ones let the eye focus on the item, not the tack.

2. Consider colored thumb tacks as an alternative. Colored tacks are simple enough to be functional, yet not too distracting.

3. Jazz up your office with decorative pushpin options. These pushpins scream for attention and are a conversation piece in and of themselves.
