Board Pin Packet (Product Code: SCL-470/130) is a pack of brass drawing pins used to fix paper to drawing boards and pin-boards in physics practicals, classrooms and offices. In the physics lab the pins hold a sheet of paper flat on a drawing board for ray-tracing experiments with mirrors, prisms and glass slabs. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for school, office and home use.

Optics practicals such as refraction through a glass slab or prism and reflection from a plane mirror are drawn on paper fixed to a soft drawing board. Board pins at the corners stop the sheet shifting while students mark rays and object pins, which keeps angle measurements consistent. The same pins hold charts, timetables and notices on classroom pin-boards.
Press each pin in straight with the thumb, lift it out with a fingernail or pin lifter rather than prising with a scale, and keep the packet closed and away from young children. Brass pins are a simple stationery item that completes any school lab setup in India where optics experiments are drawn on paper.
The Board Pin Packet is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, to schools, colleges, offices and dealers in India and international markets. Schools often add stationery items like board pins to their optics orders so drawing boards are ready for use on arrival. Company information is on the ScienceLab company profile.

What are the pins in the Board Pin Packet made of?
The pins in the Board Pin Packet (SCL-470/130) are made of brass. Brass does not rust the way plain steel can, so the pins stay clean on paper and can be reused across many practical sessions.
How many pins are in one Board Pin Packet?
The number of pins in each Board Pin Packet is not listed on this page. Ask ScienceLab through the contact page for the packet quantity and pin details before placing your order.
Why are board pins needed in physics practicals?
Pins from the Board Pin Packet hold paper flat on a drawing board during ray-diagram experiments with glass slabs, prisms and mirrors, stopping the sheet from moving while students trace rays and measure angles.
Can the Board Pin Packet be used outside the lab?
Yes, the Board Pin Packet suits school, office and home use, including pinning notices, charts and papers to pin-boards so that everything stays exactly where you want it.
Who supplies the Board Pin Packet?
The Board Pin Packet is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, which also offers the drawing boards, glass slabs, prisms and mirrors used in pinned-paper optics practicals.
