Overview

One family, six board types

Framed boards share one set of frame colours, so a pinboard, a writing board and a glass board can match on the same wall.

Every board is made to measure. The largest size depends on the category, and we make boards up to 6 feet.

Construction

How a glass board is built

Layer by layer: an MDF board at the back, then vinyl pasted on top, then glass over the vinyl. The glass is regular thin glass, about 2 mm or 3 mm.

The vinyl gives the base colour you choose, because the glass itself is clear. A magnetic glass board has an iron sheet between the MDF and the vinyl. A non-magnetic board is the same without the iron sheet.

Sizes

Standard pinboard sizes

Sixteen standard pinboard sizes, width × height in inches. Every other board, and any other size, is made to measure.

RangeSizes (inches)
16 standard pinboard sizesLandscape: 18×12, 24×16, 30×20, 36×24, 24×12, 30×15, 36×18. Portrait: 12×18, 16×24, 20×30, 24×36. Square: 12×12, 16×16, 20×20, 24×24, 28×28

Guidance

Briefing a board order

Name the board type and the size. For a writing board, say whether it should be magnetic. For a printed board, send the artwork or the map and say where it should sit. For a framed board, choose a frame colour.

For a set, say which sizes go together, and tell us how you will sell the boards so we can plan the packing. See the boards catalogue options or read how an order runs.

FAQ

Questions about boards

Which boards do you make?

ArtzFolio makes six board types: framed pinboards, frameless pinboards, cork boards, magnetic boards, white boards and glass boards. Cork boards and pinboards come framed or frameless. Magnetic, white and glass boards are always framed. Any map or design can be printed on every type.

What is a glass board made of?

An ArtzFolio glass board has an MDF board at the back, vinyl pasted over it, and regular thin glass of about 2 or 3 mm on top. The vinyl gives the base colour you choose, because glass is clear. A magnetic version adds an iron sheet between the MDF and the vinyl.

Which boards are framed only?

ArtzFolio makes magnetic boards, white boards and glass boards framed only. Frameless is an option for pinboards and cork boards. Frames on magnetic and white boards are wood or polystyrene, and framed boards share six standard colours, with any other colour made on request.

How large can a board be?

ArtzFolio makes boards to measure in custom sizes, up to 6 feet. The largest size depends on the category, so give the board type and the size you need in your enquiry. Sixteen standard sizes are listed for pinboards, from 12 × 12 to 36 × 24 inches.

What happens to pin holes in a pinboard?

An ArtzFolio pinboard has a fabric or cork surface where pin holes close up over time. Cork boards use 100% natural cork. Pinboards sit on a high-density foam core with an MDF back. Framed pinboards are hand-crafted in solid wood and are ready to hang, horizontally or vertically.

Do you make boards to size?

Yes. Boards come in standard sizes, and custom sizes are made to measure up to 6 feet in our own factory. The largest size depends on the board type and is confirmed in your quote.

Can boards carry my own label?

Yes. We make the product in our own factory and pack it under your label, with your inserts and packaging if you send them. Say so in your enquiry.

How do samples of boards work?

Samples are paid. By agreement the sample cost can be reimbursed or adjusted in your final order. The sample plan and the sample price are in your quote.
