stickable

Able to cling

Stickable describes something capable of being stuck—either able to adhere to a surface or suitable for being pierced or impaled.

A stickable label has adhesive backing; a stickable target can receive a thrown knife.

The word is informal and relatively uncommon: These notes are stickable, so just press them onto the board.
