Questions

Quick answers about custom chalk boards.

What can I choose when ordering a printed chalk board?

You can set the 1000 × 600 mm size, frame (chalk board) and includes (frame only or frame with UV print). The price updates with each choice, so you can compare before paying.

What is the turnaround on my printed chalk board order?

On Standard it is made and handed to the courier within 5 working days; Express shortens that to 3 working days, Saver stretches it to 7 working days for less. The clock starts once your order is placed and the file is confirmed. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code.

Will the price go up when I reach the checkout?

No. The figure on the page is the one you pay at checkout. The £89.24 starting price for your printed chalk board order is the full price of the goods. Any delivery charge is shown before you pay.

Will someone look at my file before the printed chalk board is printed?

Yes. A person checks every file you upload before printing starts, looking at resolution, bleed and whether the text will come out cleanly. Paid help is there too: a clean layout from your text and logo (£15), a design from your brief (£35) or a logo redraw (£30), each with one first draft and two rounds of changes.

Can I order several display boards at once?

Yes. Anything from 1 up to 10 is priced on this page. The price per piece usually drops as the number goes up, which helps clubs and shops ordering in bulk. Spend £100 on goods (design fees are not counted) and UK mainland delivery is free; otherwise it is £7.95 once.

Can I check the cost before I order?

It starts at £89.24, the cheapest combination, and changes as you pick options. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Postage to the UK mainland is £7.95 per basket, not per item, and free when your goods total £100 or more.

Asked by buyers

How much will Printed Chalk Boards set me back?

£89.24 is where Printed Chalk Boards start, set up as chalk Board, 1000 × 600 mm and frame only on the Saver speed. Change the size, material, extras, quantity or speed and the total on the page moves straight away. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, with delivery the only thing that can be added. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted).

Is delivery ever free?

It is £7.95 for the whole order, not per item, and free once the goods reach £100 after any discount code; design or artwork charges are left out of that £100. On its own the opening price of £89.24 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A mainland Highlands postcode puts a single £10 on the order. Northern Ireland has its delivery priced before you pay, and so do the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man.

If I buy Printed Chalk Boards today, when will they leave you?

As the page first opens, the speeds for Printed Chalk Boards are Express 3 working days, Standard 5 and Saver 7, counting Monday to Friday and skipping bank holidays. The count begins once we have your order and a file ready to print. A bigger size or a different material can move it by a day either way; each speed shows its own days as you choose. Tracking arrives by email on the day it ships, and the courier usually takes one to three working days from there.

I cannot design at all. Can someone make the artwork for me?

Yes. When you choose the Artwork option you can pick from: send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Each fee is fixed, sits as its own line in your basket and covers every item on that line. Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Prefer to do it yourself? The online designer is free to use. On this page, Printed Chalk Boards start from £89.24.

Could I lay out these display boards myself on your website?

Yes. Start the designer from this page, choose a layout to begin with, then drop in your text, logo and photos and drag them where you want. It checks as you go and warns you about leftover sample text, lettering that is too small, anything outside the safe area and images too low in resolution, all before you finish. Designing and previewing costs nothing. The watermark you see on screen is never printed; once you finish, it goes into the basket. Make the artwork for these display boards the same size as the one you order, such as 1000 × 600 mm.

What are the measurements of Printed Chalk Boards?

It measures 1000 × 600 mm and costs from £89.24. If that is not quite right for your space, the Foamex Strut Cards or the Foamex Boards may fit better. Spend £100 on goods and mainland delivery is free; below that it is £7.95. Other settings on the page, such as quantity, adjust the total as you go.

Can I leave these display boards outside?

That depends on the board you pick for Printed Chalk Boards. Whatever the board, strong sun fades print slowly, so a long-term sign lasts better out of full sun. Tell us where it is going in the question box if you want a second opinion on the material.

How do people usually fix up these display boards?

Mounting Printed Chalk Boards start with a hole near each corner, then screws or cable ties. On a wall, use a washer under each screw head and stop before it bites too hard. For smooth indoor walls you would rather not drill, foam tape or adhesive pads do the job.

Can you explain the includes setting for Printed Chalk Boards?

The includes option has 2 settings: frame with UV print or frame only. Choose whether you want the printed graphic alone, the frame alone, or the two together. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. Before delivery, these display boards cost from £89.24.

Is there a minimum quantity for these display boards?

The smallest order is 1 and the largest listed is 10; the list starts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and carries on from there. The price on the page covers every item in that quantity. To compare two quantities fairly, split each total by its number. A bigger run than the list allows can be priced separately on our Get a quote page. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each display board is made to order for you.

Can a private person buy a single display board?

Yes. One is enough, and you do not need a business name or an account to check out. The opening price is £89.24, and any bank card will do. On its own the opening price of £89.24 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A person still checks your file before it is printed, just as for a big order.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

The only thing that can join the goods price is delivery; the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted). If you pick a paid design option, it sits in the basket as a separate line with its own fee, so every penny is listed before you pay. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each display board is made to order for you.

I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will Printed Chalk Boards cost more to send?

The whole UK is covered. Outside it, sadly, we cannot deliver. Mainland addresses in the Highlands pay one extra £10 on the order, even when delivery would otherwise be free. For Northern Ireland, and for the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man, we tell you the delivery cost before you pay, so message us your postcode on the Contact page or our Get a quote page. Choose Saver and these display boards leave us after 7 working days; Express brings that down to 3.

Is there a quicker turnaround for these display boards?

Work back from the day you need them. Express takes 3 working days to get Printed Chalk Boards out, against 7 on Saver, and costs £103.33 on the opening option rather than £89.24. Add up to three working days for the courier, plus any time you need to finish the file. Cutting it fine? Put your date in the question box before you order.

Our wording is not finished yet. Can I still pay now and send it later?

Yes. Pay now and add the file afterwards: uploading after ordering is allowed, so you do not have to wait for the final version. If a volunteer, friend or designer is preparing it, they can send the finished file to you to upload, or get in touch through our Contact page quoting your order number. Nothing goes to print until the file arrives and has been checked, so if there is a date to hit, get the artwork over as soon as you can. Make the artwork for these display boards the same size as the one you order, such as 1000 × 600 mm.

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these display boards?

Roughly 3,937 pixels across and 2,362 down for a 1000 × 600 mm design, which is 100 dpi. That is plenty for something people read from a few metres away; anywhere from 100 to 150 dpi at full size will do. Text and logos are safest as vector art, which never goes fuzzy. Pictures saved from a website or social media are nearly always too small, and our file check will point out any that could print blurred.

Which file formats can I upload?

A PDF made at the size you ordered works best, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines. AI, EPS and SVG are fine too, as are high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF images. Word, PowerPoint or Canva designs can be used, but save them out as a full quality PDF where you can. Attach up to 3 files of up to 25 MB each on the product page, or order first and send them afterwards; we email you a link. If you have no file, you can build the design for these display boards in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering.

I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?

You will not be left guessing. Each uploaded file is opened and looked over by a member of the team, and problems such as low-resolution pictures, no bleed or the wrong page size are sent back to you to fix before printing. If fixing it sounds like a chore, choose typesetting for £15: we lay out your text and logo, show you a first draft, then make up to two rounds of changes. For reference, these display boards measure 1000 × 600 mm.

Once I finish designing these display boards online, is the file mine to keep?

Yes. Order printing with an online design and a full resolution PDF comes with it; after payment you can download it from your confirmation email or from My Account. Just want the file? Finish the design and buy the print-ready PDF on its own for £9.99. As digital content, it cannot be cancelled once the download begins. Make the artwork for these display boards the same size as the one you order, such as 1000 × 600 mm.

Where do Printed Chalk Boards and Foamex Strut Cards differ?

Comparing Printed Chalk Boards with Foamex Strut Cards, this is what changes. Sizes: only 1000 × 600 mm on this page, and 4 on the other, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm). Opening price: £89.24 on this page and £58.23 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.

How would I decide between Foamex Boards and Printed Chalk Boards?

Comparing Printed Chalk Boards with Foamex Boards, this is what changes. Sizes: only 1000 × 600 mm on this page, and 11 on the other, the smallest A4 (210 × 297 mm). Opening price: £89.24 on this page and £20.91 on the other. On the Standard service it is 5 working days on this page and 3 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.

Can I send these display boards back if I no longer need them?

Not for a change of mind. These display boards are made for your order, and goods made to your specification fall outside the 14-day cancellation right (reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). You can still cancel and get all your money back before production begins. Anything faulty, damaged or wrong is covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and we reprint it or refund you. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each display board is made to order for you.

Our club needs a big batch of display boards, or an odd size. Can you price it?

Our Get a quote page is the place, and it also handles delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. For anything the page cannot do, tell us the size, number, material, date and postcode on Get a quote, add a file if you have one, and we email a price back. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each display board is made to order for you.

Which cards do you take, and is paying online safe?

You pay by debit or credit card when you check out, and you can do it as a guest without making an account. Card details are handled by Stripe, a specialist payment company, so the full card number never reaches us or sits on our system. Printing starts after payment goes through and your file has been checked. If your group needs a price agreed before anyone pays, ask for a quote instead. For reference, these display boards measure 1000 × 600 mm.

Next year we will want the same display board again. Is reordering easy?

Yes. Treat it as a fresh order of the same item with the same settings, and attach the file you used last time. For online designs, the print-ready PDF from the original paid order is waiting in My Account and your confirmation email. Change any details that have moved on, such as a new email address or this year's date, before uploading. Before delivery, these display boards cost from £89.24.

Can a volunteer order without setting up an account?

Yes. There is a guest checkout, so a one-off order does not need a login. Payment is by debit or credit card, processed by Stripe. The confirmation email that follows lists everything bought and what was paid, which helps when you claim the money back from the group. What the page shows is what the group pays, plus any delivery. Before delivery, these display boards cost from £89.24.

We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?

One checkout covers the lot. Add a basket line for every design, attach the right file to each, then pay once. You pay a single delivery charge of £7.95 for the whole order, or nothing if the goods add up to £100 or more. Repeating one design on another line? Choose the artwork choice that points to a file already in the basket, and no second design fee is charged. Before delivery, these display boards cost from £89.24.

Can I swap my file once I have paid?

It depends on timing. Until production begins, a new file can replace the old one, or the order can be cancelled with a full refund; once it has begun, nothing can be changed. Message us straight away on the Contact page with your order number. Items printed exactly as supplied or designed do not count as faulty, so check names, numbers and dates first. Before delivery, these display boards cost from £89.24.

Can I buy Printed Chalk Boards and other products in the same basket?

Yes. Different products, sizes and quantities can all sit in one basket, each as its own line with its own options. Delivery is charged once for the whole order, £7.95 to the UK mainland, and it is free when the goods reach £100 after discount codes. If two items share a design, choose the option to reuse artwork from another basket item and there is no second artwork fee. Before delivery, these display boards cost from £89.24.

Do I have to register before I can buy?

No. Guest checkout is fine, and card payments go through Stripe, so a debit card or a credit card both work. If you choose to open an account while checking out, My Account keeps your past orders and the print files of anything you designed online. Guest or not, you get an email confirming the order and another with tracking once it is sent. Before delivery, these display boards cost from £89.24.

I am not sure which options to pick for these display boards. Can someone advise me?

Of course. Tell us three things: where these display boards will go, whether it is for one day or for years, and your deadline. Send that through the question box on this page or the Contact page, and a member of the team will suggest options. If what you need is outside the options listed, the Get a quote page lets you describe it and get a price. Before delivery, these display boards cost from £89.24.

Who looks after me once I have bought Printed Chalk Boards?

You deal with FatPrint the whole way through. Once you order, somebody checks the artwork, Printed Chalk Boards are printed specially for your order, and a courier delivers them with a tracking link by email. Need to ask something along the way? Use the question box here or the Contact page and a real person answers.

Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?

Every order gets a confirmation email listing what was bought, the options chosen and the amount paid, and a club, school or small firm can file that as its record of payment. What you pay for these display boards is the price shown on the page plus any delivery charge, nothing more. If your accounts need a particular kind of invoice, ask through the Contact page before you order and we will tell you what we can provide. Before delivery, these display boards cost from £89.24.

The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?

Look everything over when it arrives. If something is damaged or missing, contact us within 48 hours through the contact form, with your order number and photos of both the item and the packaging. Please keep hold of it until we reply; we then sort out a reprint or a refund. Your legal rights stay the same, as the returns page sets out. Before delivery, these display boards cost from £89.24.

Will my logo colours come out the same as on screen?

Very close, but not always identical. A screen glows, print reflects light, so a small difference is normal. Sending CMYK artwork keeps it nearest; RGB is changed to CMYK before printing and the brightest greens, blues and oranges can look a touch flatter. For an exact brand colour, give us the Pantone reference and we get as close as the material allows. Make the artwork for these display boards the same size as the one you order, such as 1000 × 600 mm.

I have never ordered printing before. Do I need to know the technical words?

No. A person on our team checks every file for size, bleed and resolution and tells you in plain words if anything needs changing. The free online designer also warns you about small text and blurry images before you finish. Or pick typesetting for £15 and we lay out your words and logo for you, with a first draft and two rounds of changes. Make the artwork for these display boards the same size as the one you order, such as 1000 × 600 mm.

Can I design these display boards first and show the committee before we pay?

Yes. The online designer is free to use, so you can build the design, look at it on screen and share it round before anyone commits. The preview carries a watermark on screen only; it never appears on the printed item. When everyone is happy, finish the design and order. What you see is what gets printed, so check names, dates and numbers together first. Make the artwork for these display boards the same size as the one you order, such as 1000 × 600 mm.

Which mistakes does the online designer warn me about?

Spelling is the one thing it cannot judge, so read that yourself. It does catch placeholder words nobody changed, tiny lettering, anything drifting beyond the safe area or near the trim, blurry logos and photos, and objects covering words. Issues that would spoil the print stop you finishing until they are sorted; lighter warnings you may choose to accept. Make the artwork for these display boards the same size as the one you order, such as 1000 × 600 mm.

Which frame is used on Printed Chalk Boards?

Choose which style of frame comes with your graphic. On Printed Chalk Boards there is no choice to make: chalk Board comes as standard. Your size, quantity and turnaround settle the final figure. Still torn between two? Type the question into the box on this page and a person will reply.

What is the safest way to clean these display boards?

For Printed Chalk Boards, warm water with a drop of washing-up liquid and a soft cloth, then rinse and dry. Avoid solvents, scouring pads and harsh cleaning products, as they can dull the print or lift it. Keep any spare boards lying flat to stop them bowing.
