A pin board for the study table, sized to the wall above the desk
For a study table, a pin board (often called a soft board) between 12 x 18 and 18 x 24 inches usually fits the wall above the desk without crowding it. ArtzFolio prints your chosen design on the pinning surface and makes the board to your exact width and height, from ₹590 with GST for 12 x 12 inches.

Why students and parents like a printed pin board
A study corner collects paper: the exam date sheet, a formula list, a coaching schedule, a goal written on a sticky note. A board pinned in front of the chair keeps all of it at eye level instead of in a drawer. Our pin board has a printed fabric surface, soft and self-closing, about 12 mm thick, so pins go in easily and small holes close up.
Because the surface is printed, the board can be more than a brown rectangle. Students choose a calm landscape, a motivational quote, a world map or a plain colour that matches the room, and pin their papers over it. Browse the collections or upload your own picture in the studio.
Frame, magnets and finish
The pin board comes with a polystyrene frame in your choice of six finishes: Black, White, Dark Brown, Natural Brown, Golden and Antique Gold. It also comes with rust-free zig-zag hooks for hanging. A pin board can be made magnetic or non-magnetic, and you choose which in the studio; the studio shows the live price for your choice.
Measuring the space above a study table
- Measure the width of the table top. A board about two-thirds of that width looks balanced; on a 36 inch (91 cm) table that is roughly 24 inches.
- Measure from the table top to any shelf or window above it. Leave at least 4 to 6 inches clear above the table so a lamp and books fit underneath.
- Check where the switchboard sits, and plan the board to clear it.
- Tape the outline to the wall and sit at the desk; you should be able to read the papers without leaning forward.
The studio opens in inches. If you measured in centimetres or millimetres, switch the unit in the studio instead of converting by hand.

Questions people ask
Is a soft board the same as a pin board?
Yes, in everyday Indian usage a soft board is a pin board: a board with a soft surface you push pins into. Ours carries your chosen design printed on that surface. For the other names you may see, read what is a soft board.
What size pin board is right for a study table?
For most study tables, 12 x 18, 16 x 20 or 18 x 24 inches fits well. A useful guide is about two-thirds of the table width. Measure the clear wall height above the desk too, so the board does not touch a shelf, window or switchboard, and tape the outline on the wall first.
Can my child choose their own picture for the board?
Yes. You can pick any design from the catalogue or upload your own photo or drawing in the studio. Keep in mind that papers will be pinned over the picture, so busy designs can make notes harder to read; softer backgrounds or a plain colour often work well for study.
Does the pin board need special pins?
No. Ordinary push-pins and drawing pins work. Avoid very long pins that could go through the full depth of the board and mark the wall behind it. Dust the board with a dry cloth now and then, and keep it away from damp walls and direct moisture so the print stays clean.
