Buyer Checklist for Offices and Workplace Suppliers


A checklist for offices and workplace suppliers choosing glass, writing and pin boards, with a build table for each board type.

Short answer: choose the board type for each wall, then decide whether it carries a printed design. A board printed with a floor plan, a world map or a brand pattern belongs to the company, and any board type can be printed.
