Magnetic, white and glass boards, made to your size and print

A magnetic board has a gloss magnetic laminated surface, plain or printed, on a steel sheet with an engineered wood core and back. A white board has a smooth gloss, wipe-clean surface on an engineered wood core. Both come in a wood or polystyrene frame.

A glass board is printed vinyl under regular glass on an engineered wood back, in a frame, and is magnetic or non-magnetic. Framed boards share one set of frame colours, so a magnetic board, a pinboard and a photo frame can match on the same wall.

Here is how a glass board is built, layer by layer. An engineered wood board sits at the back, then vinyl is pasted on top, then glass goes over the vinyl.

The glass is regular thin glass, about 2 mm or 3 mm. Because glass is clear, the vinyl gives the base colour or design you choose. A magnetic glass board has an iron sheet between the engineered wood and the vinyl; a non-magnetic board is the same without the iron sheet.

Choosing is simpler once you know what is fixed. The board type, the framed-only build and the shared frame colours are set. The rest is your brief.

As a general guide, a magnetic board holds paper with magnets, a white board suits markers and is wiped clean, and a glass board has a smooth face whose colour or design comes from the printed vinyl beneath the glass.

For a glass board, tell us whether it should be magnetic. The surface of a magnetic or white board is gloss, and the magnetic board can be plain or printed.

• Frame colour: Black, White, Dark Brown, Natural Brown, Golden or Antique Gold. Any other colour on request.
• Frame material: wood or polystyrene on magnetic and white boards.
• Size: made to measure up to 6 feet. The largest size depends on the category, and the glass board size list is confirmed in your quote.
• Print: any map, pattern or artwork can be printed on every board type, including a world-map design.
• Plan packing early: tell us how the boards will be sold, because the pack for an online store and for retail shops is not the same.

Name the board type and the size, and say whether a glass board 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, tell us which sizes go together and how you will sell the boards.
