Types of Display Boards

Choosing the right type of display board is essential for effectively presenting your materials. Here’s a breakdown of some popular options:

Are Display Boards Easy to Assemble?

Absolutely! Most display boards are designed to be user-friendly. Folding boards simply unfold, while panel and pole kits offer easy-to-follow setups. These boards are made from light materials, so you won’t break a sweat getting them ready for your event. They’re perfect for situations where you need to set up quickly and efficiently.

The panels connect using a simple clip-in mechanism, allowing for quick setup. Our display boards come with assembly instructions included in the packaging, tailored to the specific model you've chosen. To help you get it just right, we also provide assembly videos on our product pages, giving you a clear idea of how the finished product should look.

How Can You Attach Notices to Display Boards?

Attaching notices to display boards is straightforward but requires some care to keep the board in good condition. Most display boards have a honeycomb construction, which isn't self-healing like some other materials.

To preserve the board’s lifespan, it's best to minimise the use of pins. Instead, opt for hook fastener-backed roll, which easily attaches and detaches, allowing you to change displays quickly without causing damage.

For those needing something more durable, we also offer pinnable boards made from thicker, more robust panels. These are designed to handle repeated use with pins, making them perfect for more permanent displays. If you're interested, check out our range of noticeboards for more options.
