This article discusses modern day cork boards in further detail.

Combination corkboards maximize wall space by providing 2 essential bulletin boards framed into 1. Having your corkboard displayed with another board that you can draw on, provides an organized way to drive your messages home.  By having these two essential message boards built into one, it opens up an array of display possibilities, and gives you flexibility in what you decide to display. What’s more, you are saving money by getting two message boards for the price of one.

3 popular styles of combination boards:

1. The first style includes a cork board on one side combined with a chalkboard on the other. This combination unit typically comes with a box of chalk and an eraser.

2. The second style features a cork board next to a dry erase white board. This combination unit is typically provided with a box of colored markers and an eraser.

3. A third option features an alternative to cork, but is worth mentioning for those looking for a more upscale display board. This unit includes a fabric board alongside a white dry erase board. This option generally comes with a box of colored markers and an eraser as well.

With each option most displays will come with a convenient storage tray to keep your chalk, markers, and eraser readily accessible. Most units are encased by anodized aluminum frames to provide a sturdy border, and also match most decors.

Cork floor stands, or free standing cork boards are excellent alternatives to simply mounting the boards to a wall. These cork board stands provide unlimited flexibility to where they will be placed, or how often you will move them. Cork floor stands offer you a wider range of display possibilities. They are the ideal display fixtures to place in any heavily trafficked hallway, school foyer, or office lobby. Many of these floor-standing cork boards are double sided, enabling you to catch your visitors’ eyes while they are both coming and going.

Some of the free standing corkboard units also include literature racks or brochure holders attached to them. This additional holder or rack creates another opportunity for a guest or consumer to take information away with them. Patrons will not only be able to see what’s on the board, but they can also walk away with more literature to gain a better understanding of what was being offered.

Many cork floor stands are enclosed by swing frames that lock to keep important documents protected within. Enclosed cork boards are better explained in the following paragraph:

Enclosed cork boards are offered in many styles and sizes. The corkboards are encased by swinging, locking frames to protect your important notices, event flyers, announcements and documents, from damage and public tampering. Most enclosed bulletin boards feature either aluminum or wood casings that come in a wide range of color finishes. To suit your decor, many wood frame finishes include cherry, walnut, mahogany, oak and black. Most aluminum frames will include silver, bronze, gold, and black. The swing frames are built to suit virtually any size cork board you are looking to enclose. Enclosed cork boards are offered with a choice of one, two, or three locking doors, depending on the size of the corkboard within. To update or change messages in these displays, simply unlock the door locks and swing the door or doors open. Your new notices will be held in place by push pins or thumb tacks and kept safe under lock and key once the doors are closed again. These cork boards are perfect for placement in auditoriums, college dormitories, staff break rooms, community centers, offices and more.

With today’s corkboards, your display options are virtually endless. The many possibilities allow you to find a cork board to suit your needs whether that be ease of use, safety, or maximum viewing potential.
