Along with thinking about the size of the individual push pin, you’ll also want to consider how many push pins you need to buy at once. Quantities range from 100 to 600. In some cases, you can purchase multiple containers of push pins. This is a great option if you want to keep some push pins at home and some at the office, or if you want enough push pins to share with your entire group or team.
You may also want to know how you plan to apply your push pins before choosing which ones to purchase. Typically, push pins can be easily slid into the wall or a bulletin board simply by using your hand. They can often be removed in the same way. Other times, it may be necessary to use a hammer to fully embed your push pins into the surface where you are going to be hanging or displaying items. Some push pins are strong enough to withstand the blow of a hammer, while other push pins may utilize weaker plastic that doesn’t hold up nearly as well when strong force is applied.
Push pins are available in several different colors. Depending on what you plan to use them for, perhaps you would prefer clear push pins that don’t detract much attention from what you’re pinning to the wall or bulletin board. In other cases, maybe you want a variety of different colors of push pins, such as red, green, or blue. Both are available, allowing you to easily choose whatever color you prefer and what will best fit your individual needs.
Lastly, you might be curious about whether your push pins will include a case that can hold whatever push pins you aren’t using. Many push pins will come with a clear, plastic, resealable case that makes storing your push pins on your desk or in your supply drawer easy. Other push pins won’t include this, and you may want to know if you have a section of your desk drawer or a storage container somewhere in your office that can safely hold your push pins. Push pins aren’t so sharp that they will cause immediate injury if touched, but you certainly won’t want to risk accidentally poking yourself by having your push pins stored in an unsafe or dangerous way.

A: Push pins are usually between 2 mm and 4 mm in diameter. To get the most effective use out of your push pin, you’ll want one with a head that is either smaller than the diameter at its largest point, or one that’s the same size. Traditional push pins are larger than most modern push pins. At one point in time, it wasn’t uncommon to find push pins up to three inches in length. Nowadays, most push pins that are readily available are between 1 and 1.5 inches long.
A: Push pins are safe to insert directly into the wall. However, if your wall is too flimsy, you can risk cracking or crumbling the drywall. You should make sure your wall is strong before inserting push pins into it, and you also don’t want to hang items that are too heavy with push pins. Not only can these risk rubbing the paint off of your walls if they are somehow leaning, but they can also pull the push pin out of the wall if bumped, and they may create a bigger hole than what was originally there.
