Printed chalkboards are a great option for multiple orders or when you have a very specific design needs.
If the design is ready, it can be a quicker option than hand drawing. Printing is helpful for quantity, or when the size of the text gets smaller that 3/4″ high. It is also a good option if you have a finished design.
Cost for Printed Chalkboards
Printed Chalkboards are priced by the square foot. For a single chalkboard the price is ~ $55/square foot + shipping and shop charges. The price drops significantly as the quantities go up. A single printed chalkboard is about the same price as a hand drawn chalkboard. Contact Dave for an estimate.
The printing is done on solid 1/4″ black plastic chalkboard.
