What is chalkboard lamination?
Chalkboard lamination is a matte black laminate applied to your printed panel. It behaves like a real chalkboard: you write on it with chalk or a chalk marker, wipe it off with a damp cloth, and start again the next day. The material stays the same, only the message changes.
Its real strength is the combination. A single panel can bring together fixed areas, printed once and for all (your logo, a frame, your colors), and a chalkboard area you rewrite by hand every day. The print sets your identity, the chalk brings everyday flexibility.
The principle is simple: the chalkboard film is pressed onto the print, like a standard lamination. Its matte black surface makes chalk writing stand out, and a simple damp cloth is all it takes to start from scratch. No reprinting every time a price or a dish changes.
When should you choose chalkboard lamination?
- For a restaurant menu: the frame and logo stay printed, the daily special is written in chalk every morning.
- For market pricing: prices change often, but the panel itself stays put.
- For a bistro-style shop sign: handwriting gives a warm tone that print alone cannot convey.
Chalkboard lamination is selected under the Lamination option when configuring your panel, for example a Dibond 3 mm or a 3 mm foam PVC. Tell us when you order which areas remain printed and which one becomes the chalkboard surface: we confirm all of this together on the print proof before sending it to print. And to explore the other finishes, the glossary is made for that.
