Materials

Vitreous enamel fused onto a steel base. The steel base is what makes the finished board magnetic, so the board frame and core can stay simple.

Comparison With Other Products

Use Guide

Work back from the board size

Choose the coil width so the number of board faces per width leaves the least trim.

Test with the real writing tool

Write with the marker or chalk your customer uses, leave it overnight and erase, so ghosting is judged the way a school will judge it.

Check the decoiler

All writing steel ships on a 508mm inner diameter in 2 to 4 ton coils. Confirm both against your line before ordering.

Handle the face

Keep the face clean and dry during lamination so nothing is trapped under the writing surface.
