JAM PAPER Colorful Push Pins - Round Head Map Thumb Tacks - Teal Pushpins - 100/Pack

I LOVE these Jams tacks for decorating with. I live in earthquake land, and don't want a bunch of heavy frames around my apartment. I use the round head ones in whatever color will blend in - to attach my collection of woven textiles to my wall. Keeps me and my fish tank safe, keeps the textiles from stretching, and the colors just blend in. These are super sturdy, I can use a hammer to tap one into the wall, I can use my hands or pliers to pull them back out of the wall and then use them again, without the head breaking off or the metal bending. These things are amazing. The colors are true to the photo or description, in my experience. I think now I have the baby blue/turquoise, navy blue, orange and red, so far. To me, it's worth the money to go ahead and buy another color when needed. They just kind of look like beads on the textiles, if you notice them, which fits in with my boho decor anyway. Highly recommend. They're totally reusable, barely leave a pin prick hole in the dry wall or wood.

First, the good: They arrived on time and intact. They work acceptably on standard “cork-boards” from office supply stores. I loved the copper color, even though it was definitely not “rose gold” as listed and shown in product photos.Then the not-so-good:(1) My photo shows several unseparated pins and the large “tags” that remained when I separated them myself. Every pack of plastic push pins of this shape has a few items that don’t get properly separated during manufacturing. But from my sample, I estimate that at least 25% of these pins were still attached to other pins. Worse, the pins do not separate with clean edges—separation leaves large, sharp “tags” on each pin that have to be twisted off…and they don’t do it cleanly. Because I don’t want to impale myself when I grab something off a bulletin board, I had to use a metal file to make these “tags” even somewhat smooth. My patience with that lasted for about four pins. Then I came to my senses and just tossed all the conjoined pins I’d encountered to that point.I dislike having to choose between throwing out a not-insignificant portion of a product and spending a not-insignificant amount of time rendering the product safe and usable.2. Although these pins sank somewhat easily into recent cork-board purchases from office supply stores, they had a harder time penetrating older cork-boards (from the 1980s) that other brands of pins penetrate with relative ease. I don’t think it’s a matter of the sharpness of the point. Rather, it looks to me like the penetration of the Jam Paper pins may be inhibited by the colored metallic coating that extends over the entire pin. In my “testing,” pins with better penetration had no color-coating on the pointy part.3, This is a minor issue for me, but as another reviewer pointed out, both the color name of these Jam Paper pins (“rose gold”) and the photos included in the product listing are misleading.The “rose gold” Jam Paper pins that I received were actually a beautiful shade of medium-dark copper. I’ve included a photo of two Jam Paper pins with a larger “rose gold” pin from another source to illustrate my point. My large pin is too blue-ish to be a true rose gold, but it comes closer to that descriptor than do the pins from Jam Paper. Fortunately, the exact color of the pins wasn’t terribly important to me, and the copper color is really beautiful.Summary: Although I can accept the lackluster penetration power of these pins, and I can live with the inaccurate color description, the lack of quality control that resulted in numerous conjoined pins is a deal-breaker for me. I don’t have the money to throw away a significant portion of a product, and I haven’t got the time to make defective products usable. It is highly unlikely that I will order a product from Jam Paper again.

They are not rose gold. They are a copper color. You can tell by the sellers picture that they look copper but they are advertised and labeled as "rose gold" so I just wanted to clarify for the other buyers out there. Besides that, they are cool.

I had previously purchased other colored push pins to put on my "travel map." While serving the purpose, they blended in too much with the colors on the wall map. I was looking for something that would "pop." These pins did the trick. The gold color is very bright and they are a little larger than other push pins... so you can see them easily.The plastic case they came in broke in transit, so I had to scoop them up upon arrival.... but I couldn't justify reducing my review for that inconvenience.

They work, but not real easy pinning them onto a bulletin board. Could be a problem with my bulletin board too. Everything is made so cheaply nowadays. I bought the bulletin board from Staples, thinking I'd get better quality, but the cork is very thin. Could be why these pins are so hard to pin into the board. Or maybe they're just too thick. But they'll do.

The pins are great lovely color and very useful but the container arrived all cracked up and I had to move them to another container so they didn’t spill all over seemed like more of a pack and ship issue than a product issue

I am absolutely in love with this color! They were more sturdy than I expected them to be. They were able to pierce through a wooden door. I was able to use them to put up pictures behind my shoe closet door and it looks beautiful! It adds a simple touch of class than what a normal push pin or tack could do.

They are push pins, what can I say they work. But I love that they aren't ordinary push pins but rather sleeker looking, the look great with my black cork board!

Great push pins, look really stylish. My daughter loves them, uses them at university on her cork board. Very good quality held within an easy to use small clear storage container

The box was broken and I received 99 instead of 100, however I did order a slightly reduced used version so that's absolutely fine. They are a beautiful colour and seem to be very high quality. Perfect.

Big, bright coloured pins but the rose gold colour was more plastic looking than I was wanting.

Beautiful color, a lot of pins inside the box. Very strong and high quality! Highly recommended!^^

Great touch for any board, my vision board looks stunning.
