Quick answers

What size are the chalk boards?

Every board on this page is a fixed 1000mm x 600mm, so there is no size dropdown to choose from. That gives plenty of room for a daily specials list or opening hours. If your wall or window needs different dimensions, send them through Get a Quote and the team will price a custom board.

What is the difference between Frame Only and Frame with UV print?

Frame Only is the plain chalk board ready for you to write on. Frame with UV print adds your printed design to the board, such as a logo or a fixed heading, so the branding stays put while the chalk wording changes. For fully printed signs instead, compare A-Frame Signs.

How much is a chalk board?

One board starts at £98.88 on the cheapest combination of options. Adding the UV print changes the total, and the configurator shows the live price as soon as you switch the Includes dropdown. Other display boards for shopfronts and counters are listed in the signage and boards category.

How long will my chalk board take?

Typical production is around 4 working days. That is a guide rather than a promise, and delivery time is added if you are not collecting. If the board is for a reopening or a new menu launch on a set date, speak to the team before you order so the timing can be checked.

Can I put my logo on the chalk board?

Yes, choose Frame with UV print and supply your logo or heading artwork, or add the Professional artwork and design service (+£36.00) to have it laid out for you. The printed part stays fixed while you chalk the changing details. Matching menu printing keeps tables and walls in the same style.

Who usually buys these chalk boards?

Cafes, pubs, bakeries, delis and market traders use them most, because the message changes from day to day. Community venues and event organisers like them too. If you run a food business, the menus and hospitality range has printed items that sit alongside a board.

Can I collect a chalk board instead of having it delivered?

Yes. Boards can be collected from Unit 3, 116 Bury New Road, Manchester M8 8EB, which is handy for a 1000mm-wide item. UK delivery is available too, with the cost shown at checkout before you pay. Nearby towns and cities are listed on our areas we cover page.

Asked by buyers 22

What is the board made from?

The fixed Frame specification is listed as Chalk Board, in a 1000mm x 600mm format. The product page doesn't give the frame material or the thickness of the surface. If those details matter for where you plan to hang or stand it, ask the studio before you order and the team will confirm.

Does the UV print area still take chalk?

The page doesn't say how chalk behaves over the printed part, so plan your layout with a clear writing area kept free of print. A logo strip along the top with open board beneath is a common arrangement. Describe the layout you have in mind on the quote form if you want it checked first.

Is the chalk board freestanding or wall-mounted?

The listing doesn't state a stand or fixings, only the Chalk Board frame at 1000mm x 600mm. If you need a board that stands on the pavement by itself, A-Frame Signs and Forecourt Pavement Stands are built for that job.

Can I order some boards printed and some plain?

Yes. Add the printed boards to the cart with Frame with UV print selected, then add the plain ones as a separate line with Frame Only. Each line has its own quantity. This works well for a venue that wants a branded board at the entrance and plain boards behind the bar.

Is 1000mm x 600mm big enough for a full menu?

It fits a short menu of a few dishes or a daily specials list written in clear, large letters. A full menu with prices for every item is easier to read when printed. For that, look at Waterproof Menus for tables and keep the board for headline dishes.

Can I use the chalk board outside?

The product details don't say the board is made for outdoor use, and chalk wording itself washes off in rain. Indoors, behind a window or under a covered terrace are the safest spots. For a printed pavement display made for outdoor use, see Forecourt Pavement Stands.

Where does a chalk board work best inside a venue?

Behind the counter, beside the till or on the wall people face while they queue, as that is where customers have time to read. A board facing out through the front window also reaches passers-by. For window branding around it, see our shop window graphics service.

What do 2 chalk boards cost?

On the cheapest combination, 2 boards come to £197.76 and 3 come to £296.64. The price per board stays steady, so you pay for the number you need. The live total, including the UV print if you add it, shows in the configurator before you add to cart.

What about 10 chalk boards for several sites?

Ten boards on the cheapest combination cost £988.90, which suits a chain fitting out each branch in the same style. Branded boards with UV print cost more, and the configurator shows that figure as you choose. For more than 10, send the details through Get a Quote.

Does adding UV print change the price?

Yes, the Includes dropdown affects the total, and the figure updates live when you switch between Frame Only and Frame with UV print. Compare the two before deciding. If you only need a plain board now, you can still keep your branding consistent with printed Tent Cards on the tables.

What artwork do I need for the UV print?

Send a print-ready PDF set up at 1000mm x 600mm and show clearly where the print should sit and which areas stay blank for chalk. Keep the design simple, as a logo and a heading tend to work best. For help with the file, contact the team.

Can you lay out a branded heading for me?

Yes. Choose the Professional artwork and design service (+£36.00) at checkout and send your logo plus the wording, for instance the venue name and "Today's Specials". The design is set up to suit the board. Our business cards can then carry the same look.

Do I need artwork if I choose Frame Only?

No print goes on a Frame Only board, so you don't need to prepare a design for it. You can still pick an artwork option at the artwork step if the form asks, choosing your own artwork at no charge. Everything written on the board is then done by you in chalk.

What are the steps to buy a chalk board online?

Choose Frame Only or Frame with UV print, set the quantity and check the live price. Pick your artwork option, add the board to your cart and pay by card at checkout. Other hospitality print can be added from the print shop in the same order.

How can I pay for my order?

Checkout runs through Stripe, so you can pay with Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Delivery, if you choose it, is added at checkout and shown before you confirm. Questions about an order can go to hello@webprintsigns.co.uk or 0161 315 1151.

Where are the chalk boards made?

They are produced at the Manchester print studio of WEB PRINT & SIGNS LIMITED, a print, signs and web business working since 2003. Find out more about the company and the wider range of signage it makes for shops and venues.

Do you deliver chalk boards across the UK?

Yes, national delivery is available, and the cost appears at checkout before you pay. Customers around Salford, Bolton, Bury and Stockport often collect instead. Towns and cities served from the studio are listed on the areas page.

What should I bring to collect a 1000mm board?

Bring a vehicle with enough space for a board about a metre wide, and some protection such as a blanket so the surface isn't scratched on the way home. Collection is from Unit 3, 116 Bury New Road, Manchester M8 8EB. Message 07737 902425 on WhatsApp to check it is ready.

How do pubs use chalk boards?

Pubs list guest ales, quiz nights, live music and match screenings, all of which change weekly. A printed heading with the pub name keeps it looking tidy. For bigger promotions such as a beer festival, our poster printing and banners carry the message further.

Is a chalk board useful for a retail shop?

Yes. Shops use them for new arrivals, a weekly offer or a friendly welcome line, and staff can update it in minutes. Pair it with printed point-of-sale on the counter. See our point of sale printing service for displays near the till.

Can community groups use these boards?

Yes. Village halls, churches, sports clubs and community cafes use them for timetables, events and notices that change often. A printed header with the group name makes the board recognisable. For one-off events outdoors, PVC Banners reach people from further away.

Is a chalk board better than printed menus?

They do different jobs. A board suits short, changing information like the soup of the day, while printed menus suit the full list with prices. Many venues use both, and our menu printing Manchester page covers the printed side.
