• Liquid chalk pens in fine, chisel and wide tips for detailed writing or bold headings on boards, glass and plastic.
• Assorted colour and white chalk marker packs for highlighting specials, allergen information and promotions.
• Reusable stencil sets for consistent lettering, numbers and icons on menu boards and point-of-sale signage.
• Chalkboard paint for creating custom writing surfaces on walls, tabletops or display panels.
• Dedicated chalkboard cleaners to remove ghosting and residue, keeping boards clear and ready for updates.
• All-weather and long-lasting markers designed for indoor and sheltered outdoor use in commercial environments.

How to choose the right Chalk Pens and Stencils

• Decide where the boards will be used (indoor bar, outdoor terrace, takeaway window) and choose all-weather markers if displays are near doors or outside.
• Select tip size based on viewing distance: finer tips for close-up tabletop menus, broader tips for wall boards and pavement signs.
• Choose between white-only packs for a clean, minimalist look or assorted colours to highlight specials and key messages.
• Consider stencil sets if you need consistent branding, pricing layouts or repeated messages across multiple boards.
• Plan how often you update content and pick pens with easy-wipe formulas and a suitable chalkboard cleaner for quick changeovers.
• If creating new writing areas, add chalkboard paint to turn walls, panels or counters into practical display space.

Care and maintenance

• Use approved chalkboard cleaners regularly to remove ghosting and ink build-up from boards and glass surfaces.
• Allow chalk ink to dry fully before handling boards to avoid smudging and to keep lettering sharp.
• Store pens horizontally with caps firmly closed to prevent drying out and extend marker life.
• Test new pens and cleaners on a small, inconspicuous area of the surface to confirm compatibility.
• Wipe boards with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to protect finishes and maintain a professional appearance.
• Keep stencils flat and clean after use so cut-outs stay crisp and reusable for future promotions.
