About this solution
An information board is the panel at the entrance or in the corridor that holds what an institution must or wants to display: opening hours, the licence, the price list, notices, the rules, the management's contacts. A school, a clinic, a town hall, a shop or an office needs one; the difference a well-made board makes is that the sheets sit straight, in pockets, under a header, instead of being taped to the wall.
It is made from a PVC, composite or acrylic panel carrying clear pockets in acrylic or PET, A4 or A5, landscape or portrait, open at the top for changing the sheet. The board's header — the institution's name, 'Information', 'Consumer corner' — is in cut vinyl or print, in the institution's or the brand's colours. A board can carry anywhere from two pockets to several dozen, with a label above each and, where needed, a deep pocket for leaflets. Floor-standing ones stand on a leg of their own with a stable base, for lobbies where no wall is available.
The most common mistake is overcrowding: too many pockets on too little panel, with headings that can no longer be read. A good board is drawn from the real list of documents to be displayed and from the distance it is read from — the header from a few metres, the papers from close up. The pockets are aligned on a grid, with the same gaps between them, and the labels are made at the start, not added afterwards.
It mounts on the wall, on plugs or mounting tape, at a height at which even the bottom sheet can be read standing, or stands on a leg in the lobby. For an institution with several rooms or branches a series is made in one format, so each looks the same. If there is a list of documents that must be displayed, send it: the board is drawn from it.
Frequently asked questions
All frequently asked questionsHow many pockets fit on a board?
It depends on the size of the panel and the format: a panel one metre by one takes around eight A4 pockets on a grid, with the header above; a wider one takes several rows. More important than the number is the real list of documents to be displayed — the board is drawn from it, with a place for each, not with 'spare' pockets that stay empty.
How are the sheets changed?
The pockets are open at the top: the old sheet comes out, the new one goes in, with no tools and without touching the board. For documents that rarely change — the licence, the rules — the pocket can be closed, with access from the side, so the sheet cannot be taken out by just anyone.
Can it be made in the institution's colours?
Yes. The panel is painted or covered in film in the colour wanted, the header and labels are set in the identity's typeface and colours, and the logo goes in the header. For a chain of branches or for all the rooms of a school the boards are made as a series, identical, so they are recognised from the door.
What should I send for a quote?
The list of documents to be displayed, with the format of each — A4, A5, landscape or portrait — the board's header, where it will go (wall or floor) and a photograph of the place. If you have a logo and colours, send them. From those follow the size of the panel and the layout of the pockets.
