What is a "tack"?
A tack is a small, sharp pin with a round head that can be flat or slightly raised. It is commonly used to attach papers, notes, or lightweight materials to soft surfaces like corkboards, bulletin boards, or walls. The sharp point of the tack easily pushes into the surface, while the head stays visible, making it simple to remove or reposition. Tacks are often used for temporary postings or to organize information in homes, offices, or classrooms.

What is a "tack"?
A tack is a small, sharp nail with a flat, wide head, typically used for attaching lightweight materials to a surface. It is commonly used in tasks like upholstering, hanging decorations, or securing fabric, paper, or thin wood. Tacks are easy to insert and remove, making them ideal for temporary fastenings. The head of a tack is small and often rounded, allowing it to stay hidden after being hammered in, which helps maintain a neat appearance.
