It does not affect the functionality of the board. NOTE: The 72" X 48" boards will have an oversized shipping charge. To ship to a commercial address will add $125 - $200 to the cost, and to ship to a residential address will add $250 - $325. Before ordering the 72" X 48" size, contact us for more details. PUSH PINS You can add in a set of 25 fabulous modern push pins in the drop down menu. We recommend that push pins not be used on the outer 1 1/2" of the face of the board. Cork can sometimes shrink a little bit, so if you order a 31 X 23 calendar, and a 31 X 23 cork board, we cannot guarantee they will be the exact same size. WANT A CUSTOM SIZE? Fill out this form here
