corkboards

Pushpin display panels

Corkboards are boards made of compressed cork used to pin up notes, photos, and reminders.

The soft, porous surface holds pushpins and thumbtacks easily, making corkboards standard fixtures in offices, classrooms, and kitchens: The bulletin board in the break room was covered with flyers.

Also called bulletin boards or pinboards.
