Chalkboards UK has been working with Love Smoothies for a number years now, coming up with numerous chalkboard ideas that highlight their mouth-watering menu.

From large blackboards that grab customers' attention from afar, to mini-chalkboards on counters, each design is carefully thought out and then manufactured to our high standards.

What these boards really highlight is Chalkboard UK's ability to screen print quite complex full-colour designs. Most of the Love Smoothies designs are created by using full-colour (CMYK) and 4 spot colours, rather than digital printing. This allows them to be printed onto any chalkboard material, and provides a huge cost saving to the customer - approximately a fifth of the price on runs over 100.

These are some of the printed blackboards that Love Smoothies use to promote their drinks - A4 Easel and Chalkboard, A1 Wall-mountable Blackboard, A4 Easel and Whiteboard.

Chalkboards UK and WoodenBox UK have both been working with the Students' Union at Leicester University for a number of years.

Recently, they decided to have a complete face-lift of their facilities, making them more contemporary and appealing to the students.

Our two businesses were asked to provide framed chalkboards for the menu displays and rustic trays and crates to display the produce.

The end results are stunning, making it look more like a high-end city centre brand than a Students' Union.

If you'd like more information on how Chalkboards UK or WoodenBox UK can help with your retails displays, please don't hesitate to contact us on 01384 445844 or e-mail sales@porterandwoodman.co.uk

At Chalkboards UK, we're always happy to develop bespoke products for clients, never more so than when BrewDog approached us to design a new table top chalkboard for their bars.

The board was to promote their Punk IPA craft beer on bar tops around the country. BrewDog wanted a product that reflected the brand, so we designed a board with a top shaped to the contours of their shield logo, set in a hardwood base.

After samples were made and approved, an initial order was received and completed in two weeks. Their marketing department and bar managers were so pleased with the chalkboards, we received a repeat order for the same quantity a few months later.

Our work with BrewDog hasn't stopped there. They wanted a special sliding lid box made for the launch of a speciality craft beer called 'Death or Glory'.

Our sister company, WoodenBox UK, was able to design a hardwood box with a heat-branded logo that fitted the bill. Again, pre-production samples were made and once signed off, the order was delivered in less than two weeks, just in time for the launch of the beer.

The first 1000 orders of the beer received a bottle in the special presentation box.

These two bespoke products have allowed us to build up a great working relationship with BrewDog, for whom we are now working on another project for larger shaped chalkboards for their bottle shops.

If you would like more information on our bespoke work, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01384 445844, or e-mail sales@chalkboardsuk.co.uk
