Expert Review and Insights
The Beaumont BB10 is one of those brilliantly simple bits of kit every café or pub should have a few of. It’s a far cry from flimsy, laminated paper signs. The foamex material has a premium, matte feel and takes liquid chalk pen beautifully, making your specials look genuinely special. It's a small touch, but it really lifts a tabletop display.

- Pro: The surface is fantastic; pens glide on and wipe off without a trace.
- Consideration: Remember to buy a stand or easel, as it doesn't stand up on its own.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling teahouse in the heart of Bath, needed a more elegant solution than printed A4 paper for their daily scone flavours and afternoon tea specials. They wanted something reusable and professional that matched their traditional décor.
"We bought half a dozen of these boards. They look so much tidier than our old signs. Customers comment on them, and our staff love how easy they are to update throughout the day. It’s a small change that has made a big difference to our front counter's appearance."
Robert Davies – Manager
Since introducing the boards, the teahouse has reported a noticeable uptick in sales of their daily specials, which are now far more eye-catching.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a suitable tabletop easel or stand (sold separately) to ensure the board is stable.
- Before first use with liquid chalk pens, ensure the board is clean and completely dry.
- Position the board where it will catch the customer's eye – near the till or on the bar is perfect.
- Think about your lighting; a well-lit sign is much more effective.
Keeping It Going
- For daily cleaning, a simple wipe with a soft, damp cloth is usually enough.
- For stubborn marks from liquid chalk, use a dedicated whiteboard or chalkboard cleaner.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals as they can scratch or damage the surface.
- Store flat when not in use to prevent warping or accidental damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this A4 tabletop display board come with a stand or easel?
A: No, the board is sold on its own. You will need to purchase a suitable A4-sized easel or stand separately to display it.
Q: Can I use regular stick chalk on this board?
A: It is strongly recommended to use liquid chalk pens. They provide a much brighter, cleaner line and are far easier to wipe off the foamex surface without leaving dust or residue.
Q: How do I clean the board?
A: For most updates, a soft, damp cloth works perfectly. For more stubborn pen marks, a spray-on chalkboard cleaner will lift it right off.
Q: Is the board weatherproof for outdoor use?
A: It's made of plastic so it's water-resistant, but it's very lightweight and best suited for indoor or sheltered outdoor use, like on a covered patio table, to prevent it from blowing away.
Q: Is the board double-sided?
A: This is a single 3mm board. While both sides are the same material, it's designed to be displayed one-sided on an easel.
Q: How thick is the board? Does it feel flimsy?
A: Not at all. It's 3mm thick, which gives it a solid, rigid feel without being heavy. It won't bend or flex easily like cardboard.
Q: Can I mount this on a wall?
A: It's light enough to be wall-mounted using something like command strips or other adhesives, but it isn't supplied with any fixings as it's intended for tabletop use.
Q: What are the exact dimensions?
A: The board measures 298mm in height by 210mm in width, which is the standard A4 paper size, and is 3mm deep.

Unlike printed paper that costs money and creates waste, or painted boards that chip and stain, this durable sign offers fantastic long-term value. It’s a small, smart choice that delivers consistent, professional results, helping you communicate better and sell more effectively.
Explore more from BeaumontWhat Exactly is Foamex? The Secret to a Smarter Sign
Ever wondered what makes this 3mm foamex menu board so good for display purposes? Foamex is a brand name for expanded PVC board. Think of it as a plastic that's been puffed up with tiny air bubbles, making it incredibly light but also rigid and strong. Unlike a flimsy piece of cardboard that can get dog-eared and soggy, or a heavy wooden block that's a pain to move, Foamex hits the sweet spot. Its real magic is the surface. It’s completely non-porous and smooth, which is why liquid chalk wipes off so cleanly without leaving a 'ghost' of the previous message behind. It's the difference between a modern whiteboard and a dusty old school blackboard.
