Display Boards

Display boards hold a heavy presence in most schools, community centres, staff rooms and offices, but despite their prevalence in everyday life, there is a lot of information regarding display boards that can easily cause confusion.

This buyer’s guide has been expertly put together to ensure that you have all the information you need before you spend your money.

What Is A Display Board?

A display board is a portable display solution designed to showcase a wide range of information sheets, leaflets and important notices. Display boards are safe for use with hook and loop tape, and a wide selection of them can also be used with pins.

Display boards are often called many different things, including:

  • Noticeboards
  • Pin boards
  • Presentation boards
  • Bulletin boards
  • Concertina screens
  • Room dividers

Why Buy From XL Displays?

All of our display boards are manufactured in the UK and come with luxury foam-backed fabric in a choice of 11 colours. We use foam-backed fabric as it’s slightly thicker and provides a more premium finish for each display board.

How Are Display Boards Made?

Display boards are made from a honeycomb core. The hexagonal structure of the board allows for added durability and rigidity; therefore allowing display boards to withstand regular use without damage.

The centre of the board is wrapped in a fire-rated loop nylon felt which is available in a wide choice of colours. The loop nylon provides a soft and deluxe appearance perfect for any marketing campaign.

Presentation boards are then affixed with either a PVC trim or an aluminium extrusion for a professional and refined finish.
