Coffee Shop Menu Board Grabs Attention

Need a coffee shop menu board to grab your customers attention? Chalk It Up Signs can make that for you! We design our custom chalkboards  in shop and draw them by hand. The end result is a captivating menu your customers love.

Here is the latest coffee shop menu hot out of the studio for The Social Lounge in Merrit, BC.

Our technique is bright, colourful and eye catching. We developed this technique over almost twenty years. Consequently,  even the most regular of objects, like a menu, is a work of art.  Furthermore, the client’s logo pops as well.  The use of shading and highlights makes our approach stand out.

Framing your chalkboard looks even better. In addition, it adds weight and definition to draws the eye to the contents and message. Imagine art in a gallery without a frame!

Chalkboard Sign Framing

We hand craft the frames for each chalkboard. Our in-house framer uses 2.25″ or 1.5″ x 3/4″ vertical grain west coast fir with a mortise and tenon joining.  As a result you get a strong, clean, commercial quality frame. After that we use waterproof glues. The sign is inserted into a 3/8″ groove cut into the frame to add stiffness and durability. Sometimes, on larger chalkboards more rigidity is required. Subsequently, we can add a 1/4″ backing board or corner brackets. Fir will slowly age in color to a reddish brown tan. The fir is collected from local forests. It is kiln dried and milled nearby on Vancouver, Island.

We apply hand rubbed polyurethane  to the framing for protection. Therefore, the finish ages with a beautiful, orange brown look. Stains, Spar Varnish (for additional protection against the elements) and paints require an additional charge and lead times. If you need a different wood (barn board, oak, pine etc.) or type/style of framing let us know and we can source it out. Importantly, all our framing is custom to be any width, style or colour.
