At Chalkboards UK, we offer a professional design and print service to make the most of your blackboard purchase. We have many years of experience supplying printed blackboards to large retail and restaurant chains, breweries and pub groups. You can see examples of our printed work by visiting our Pinterest Pin Boards.

The Print Department is able to take your logos, artwork or wording to create PDF proofs for you to approve before we start printing. For more complex design briefs we offer a chalkboard design service - please ask for a quote.

Screen Print is our main method of applying designs to our chalkboards. It offers a professional and consistent finish, whether you are buying a 'one-off' board, or a multiple purchase for a chain of outlets. The screen print process allows us to print simple one colour spot designs, multiple spot colours, through to more complex full-colour process work.

To achieve the best results for the customer with more complex requirements or full-colour work over longer runs, we are also able to offer digitally printed vinyl stickers or digital print applied directly to the boards.

Porter and Woodman Turns the Winter Blues Green!


As part of Porter and Woodman’s ongoing investment in a greener future, the recent refurbishment of its Stourbridge premises included the purchase of a Biomass Waste Burning System.

The aim of this investment was to improve the carbon neutrality and efficiency of the business, adding to its existing environmental policy, which includes efficient waste management and the sourcing of FSC materials for its wide range of products.

The biomass burner has contributed greatly to this ambition, taking wood waste that would have gone to landfill and turning it into energy to heat the 10,000 sq. ft production facilities through the winter months.

The Group’s two main manufacturing businesses, Chalkboards UK and WoodenBox UK benefit from the new installation as they produce over 400 Kg of wood waste daily between them. It means that 104 Tonnes of waste a year is not going to landfill - the equivalent of over 130 Mini cars every year; and no gas is being used to heat the facilities in the colder months.

The elimination of landfill, reduction in the use of gas and the fact that the biomass burner complies with the latest Government emission regulations, means that Porter and Woodman Group is well on its way to achieving carbon neutrality and is looking to the future for the company and the environment as a whole.

If you would like any more information about the Biomass burner or Porter and Woodman's environmental policies, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01384 445844 or e-mail sales@porterandwoodman.co.uk
