After holding our prices steady for the last 3 years, we will be increasing all product prices from the 1st of May to catch up with materials and freight cost increases which we can no longer absorb.

After 3.5 years continuous use at New World Hobsonville, these boards were ready for a refurb. Before (photo 10) and after (photo 2).
This satisfied repeat customer ordered two more brand-new boards at the same time (photo 3). Can you pick the slight design tweak?

At The Chalkboard Company we really enjoy custom projects - especially those involving design, and even occasionally those that don't have much to do with chalk!! This customer wanted a rustic frame for their beautiful family portrait and even helped with the supply of the materials. The final photo shows the piece of farm-gate and the fence materials used in the design and making of the frame.

The Chalkboard Company Limited is developing a range of new products. Prototypes of new boards will be auctioned on Trade Me - the first on 01 December.

Expect some to be a little 'out-there', like this beautiful band-sawn-faced frame painted in gloss enamel - colour Resene 'Whizz Bang'.

All our website products are made-to-order, hand-made one-offs of high quality and robustness. Prototype boards are of the same standard.

For custom products, protective packaging for freighting can be a challenge. We make made-to-measure custom packaging for each individual job or product to ensure orders reach their destination in A1 condition.

Chalkboards are generally wrapped in 80gsm brown (non-bleached) paper, then the outer packaging. Packaging is typically 90% rigid cellular cardboard with thin timber protective edge strips. No polystyrene. Very rarely, and depending on the product being packaged, we may use re-used bubble-wrap - and only if we happen to have any.

Often quite tricky and slightly nerve-wracking as a mistake costs time and money - however happy to say we have cut decal application down to a fine art. This job of 14 boards had its moments - often individual letters and lines are reluctant to part from the backing sheet - but the end result was perfect and thankfully no replacement decals were required!

Sadly gone are the days when chalkboards were in each classroom. However some schools aren't done with chalk. Two large 2.4m x 1.2m exterior grade chalkboards were ordered by a progressive Auckland Primary School. To be fixed on exterior walls, the boards were fitted with back-spacers for drainage. Spacers were aligned with framing positions behind cladding panels for optimal fixing. Brown paper was applied to board faces to protect chalking surfaces during installation.

This one was an exterior chalkboard for Puhoi Pub. Could have couriered it but always good to check out interesting local venues by personal delivery.

Required in a short timeframe, this large framed chalkboard supported by two easels was produced for Te Hiringa Hauora (Health Promotion Agency)'s marquee at the recent ASB Polyfest.

It way eye-catching and a fine piece of work"..... feedback is always appreciated!
